This book was released on 2008 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has demonstrated a link between acculturation to the mainstream society and eating disorder behaviors among Mexican American women. The current study sought to identify mediators in the relationship between acculturation to the mainstream society and eating disorder behaviors, including internalization of sociocultural pressures of thinness and body dissatisfaction, to help inform research of the processes by which this relationship occurs. In the spirit of working from a strength-based framework, the study also sought to identify unique cultural variables that served as moderators in the relationship between acculturation to the mainstream society and internalization of sociocultural pressures of thinness. The study included a sample of 209 Mexican American women from Latino cultural organizations and Latino studies programs in universities across the U.S. Path analysis was conducted to test the overall model fit as well as specific hypothesized effects. Findings suggested that the model was not a goodfit to the data. In addition, results indicated that internalization did not mediate the association between acculturation and body dissatisfaction, whereas body dissatisfaction did mediate the association between internalization and both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Results also indicated that ethnic identity did not moderate the link between acculturation and internalization, while familism did moderate this link. Further, acculturation was not significantly related to anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, ethnic identity was significantly related to internalization, and familism was not significantly related to internalization. Findings are discussed in the context of multicultural research and theory as it relates to Mexican American women's lived experiences.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering all the areas of Hispanic acculturation impacts (e.g. beliefs, values, academic performance, socialization, etc.), a natural extension of that influence would be to body image. With that in mind, this study explored the relationship between the body image and level of acculturation of Mexican American females attending a private university in South Texas. The current research utilized over 100 (N=116) Mexican American women attending college, ages 18-52, in a correlational study. Measures administered in this study were the Figure Rating Scale (FRS) that assessment the perceived current and ideal figure rating of the participant toward her own body, the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (BAS) that assessed participant level of acculturation, and a brief demographic survey developed by the researcher to categorize participants based on their Body Mass Index (BMI). This study assessed four null hypotheses regarding the body image, acculturation and Body Mass Index (BMI) of the participant volunteers. Of the four hypotheses, the researcher failed to reject null hypothesis 1 and alternative hypotheses 2, 3, and 4. The results of the study yielded no significant Pearson's r correlation between the Figure Rating Scale (FRS) and the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (BAS) as was postulated alternative hypothesis 1. Alternative hypothesis 2 failed to be rejected in that of the population surveyed, 70.69% had a body image discrepancy variable of one or greater and reported a smaller number to represent their ideal figure. Alternative hypothesis 3 also failed to be rejected in that among the total participants, over 98% had averaged score of 2.5 or greater on the BAS. The researcher also failed to reject alternative hypothesis 4 in that the FRS positively correlated with the BMI of the participants surveyed, r=.562, p=.000. These results suggest that further investigation into the body image concerns and acculturation of Mexican American women would be a worthwhile endeavor.
