The MAC-R is a self-report questionnaire designed to assess dysfunctional cognitions related to eating disorders. It focuses on three core beliefs: weight and eating as the basis of approval from others, the belief that rigid self-control is fundamental to self-worth, and the rigidity of weight and eating-regulation efforts.

This tool is useful for identifying and measuring dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs that contribute to eating disorders. It helps in tailoring treatment to address these cognitive distortions, making it valuable in both clinical and research settings.
