Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Paper Description
The Mizes Anorectic Cognitions (MAC) questionnaire is a 24-item self-report measure designed to tap three cognitive components of anorexia and bulimia nervosa. We examined the factor structure and psychometric properties of the MAC in university undergraduate samples (n = 290). We found that a modified 3-factor oblique model was the best fit to the data. The total MAC and subscales showed satisfactory reliability. The MAC correlated moderately with related measures of eating disorders demonstrating evidence of concurrent validity. The MAC subscales also showed evidence of discriminant validity by differentiating between empirically-defined subclinical eating disorder and control groups. But Logistic regression analyses showed that only one MAC subscale was useful in distinguishing between the groups.
