There is a growing interest among scholars in a particular behavior characterized by the co-occurrence of disordered eating and drinking consumption named "drunkorexia". The primary aim of the present research will be to provide first evidence about how adolescents¿ self-reported drunkorexia behaviors relate to their accuracy of mentalization, as assessed by metacognition questionnaires, and emotion regulation. A snow-ball sample of 1.500 Caucasian 15-year-olds and 18-year-olds will participate, attending different kinds of high schools in the centre of Italy (Lazio). Disordered eating symptomatology will be operationalised as drive for thinness, body dissatisfaction, and bulimic symptoms. Restrictive drinking behaviors during an alcohol consumption event and compensatory behaviors after an alcohol consumption event will be evaluated. Metacognition dimensions will be evaluated with MCQ, and emotion regulation with DERS. The newly research will provide an additional perspective on the drunkorexia literature.
