This book was released on 2012 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the potentially detrimental impact that family dynamics, sport participation, and social contexts such as body image, self-confidence, and bullying may have on the potential development of eating disorders or the female athlete triad in collegiate female athletes. Research for this paper focused on the prevalence and relation of multiple facets affecting 526 collegiate athletes between the ages of 18-23, including purging techniques and negative social contexts, that may potentially lead to the two most widely known and recognized eating disorders of Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and Bulimia Nervosa (BN) along with the potential for athletes to develop the Female Athlete Triad, which is a combination of Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis. Many believe that athletes develop eating disorders because of the sports that she participates in and that the competitive drive of the athlete in her sport pushes her to extremes. This study supports that the sport alone cannot be viewed as the sole culprit in the development of an eating disorder or the triad. Also, the social context of bullying proved to be a minimal factor for the athletes, with a staggering amount of them not even being able to successfully define bullying.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the relationship between family dynamics, such as emotional availability and parentification, family structure, and disordered eating symptomology. Over the past few decades, there has been a gradual shift away from the traditional, nuclear (i.e., two, heterosexual, married parents in the home) family structure, which has the potential to impact the upbringing of children and influence the development of psychopathology, such as eating disorders. It was hypothesized that variations of such factors (i.e., family structure, emotional availability, and parentification) would be associated with the prevalence of past eating disorder(s) as well as the severity of current eating disorder symptomology. Consistent with previous findings and empirical research, results from this study suggested that there is an association between emotional availability of both mothers and fathers and current disordered eating symptomology. Alternatively, parentification was not found to be linked with current disordered eating behavior. With regard to family structure, mothers’ emotional availability was found to be the strongest predictor of current eating disorder symptomology for individuals who were raised in divorced families, whereas fathers’ emotional availability was the strongest predictor for those who grew up in (heterosexually) married families. Greater knowledge of the way in which family impacts the development and magnitude of disordered eating symptomology may assist clinicians in the treatment of these disorders, as effectively treating an eating disorder frequently requires treatment of the whole family. It is hoped that the exploratory nature of this study may provide insight for future research that may be utilized for the development of more effective eating disorder intervention and prevention programs.
Download or read book The Female Athlete Triad written by Catherine M. Gordon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to focus solely on the female athlete triad - its origins, its recognition, and most importantly, its management. Since the symptoms themselves cover a range of medical specialties, chapters are written by experts in a number of relevant fields - sports medicine, orthopedics, endocrinology, and pediatrics - with an eye toward overall care of the young female athlete. Additionally, each chapter includes suggestions on how to educate and communicate with young athletes and their parents, as well as trainers and coaches, on how to manage the illness outside of the direct clinical setting. The female athlete triad is often seen in sports where low body weight is emphasized, such as gymnastics, figure skating, and running, though it can appear in any sport or activity. The interrelated symptoms - eating disorders, amenorrhea, and low bone mass - exist on a spectrum of severity and are serious and potentially life-threatening if not properly treated. Psychological problems, in addition to medical ones, are not uncommon. The Female Athlete Triad: A Clinical Guide discusses all of these areas for a well-rounded and in-depth approach to the phenomenon and will be a useful reference for any clinician working with female athletes across the lifespan.
Download or read book Family Culture and Self in the Development of Eating Disorders written by Susan Haworth-Hoeppner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a unique approach to the examination of the eating disorder, anorexia nervosa (and bulimia). White, middle-class, heterosexual women share their insights into the emergence of their illnesses through detailed interviews that consider perceptions of the role of family, the influence of cultural messages regarding thinness and beauty, the agency these women exert in the use of weight control to cope with life’s stressors, the meaning they attach to their eating disorders and how these issues together perpetuate their disease. The book uses a Symbolic Interactionist framework and a grounded theory approach to examine the narratives which emerge from these women’s stories. Themes of family, culture, and self arise in their narratives; these form the theoretical underpinnings for this book, and combine to shape the comprehensive model of eating disorders that emerges from this study. Haworth-Hoeppner’s book will appeal to researchers and advanced students of sociology, women’s studies, family studies, social psychology, and gender studies.
Download or read book The Effects of Sociocultural Factors on Body Image in Division III Female Athletes written by Naomi Hill and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Negative body image puts athletes at a higher susceptibility for eating disorder development than nonathletes (NEDA, 2018). Many factors influence how athletes perceive their body, such as family, peers, coaches, and the media. The purpose of this study was to 1) examine the body image of female Division III collegiate athletes, an understudied population, 2) explore four sociocultural variables that may influence the body image satisfaction of these athletes: Family, peers, the media, and coaches, and 3) summarize and analyze the existing literature on the neurobiology of body image as it relates to eating disorders among athletes, including comorbid mental health diagnoses, dysregulation of appetite reward patterns and behaviors, and the Female Athlete Triad. Participants were 115 female student-athletes at North Central College who completed measures related to body image, sociocultural pressures, and the coach-athlete relationship. Overall, participants felt larger than their ideal figure, indicative of body imaged is satisfaction. Regression analyses found that family and media predicted body image satisfaction across daily life and sport domains for athletes. The coach-athlete relationship did not predict body image satisfaction in this population."--Abstract

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifteen years, there has been a great increase in the knowledge of eating disorders in sport and effective means of treatment. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive clinical experience to discuss how to identify, manage, treat, and prevent eating disorders in sport participants. They begin by examining the clinical conditions related to eating problems, including descriptions of specific disorders and a review of the relevant literature. Special attention is given to the specific gender and sport-related factors that can negatively influence the eating habits of athletes. The second half of the book discusses identification of participants with disordered eating by reviewing symptoms and how they manifest in sport; management issues for sport personnel, coaches, athletic trainers, and healthcare professionals; treatment; and medical considerations, such as the use of psychotropic medications. A list of useful resources is included in an appendix, as well as a glossary of important terms.

Download or read book Family Dynamics and Disordered Eating Among Asian Americans written by Alice Koyun Chi and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eating disorders, once conceptualized as a White women's disease, have been on the rise affecting both women and men of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Although Asian Americans represent the third largest ethnic minority group in the U.S., little attention has been paid on the development of disordered eating among Asian Americans. Given the central role and cultural meanings behind food and eating in Asian cultures, the use of food as a culturally appropriate, yet ineffective, coping mechanism calls for deeper understanding of cultural influences and variations of eating psychopathology among Asian Americans. The present study performed a secondary data analysis on a nationally representative longitudinal sample of adolescents in the U.S (Add Health). The study examined the moderating effects of ethnicity and acculturation on the relationship between enmeshed family dynamics ( overprotectiveness and conflict avoidance) and characteristics of disordered eating (weight control behaviors, binge eating, past eating disorder diagnosis, and disordered eating behaviors). Among White adolescents, point-biserial correlations showed a weak relationship between overprotectiveness and binge eating. It also showed a weak relationship between conflict avoidance and weight control behaviors and overall disordered eating behaviors among White adolescents. There is no statistical significance in the relationships between enmeshed family dynamics and disordered eating among the Asian American counterparts. Similarly, logistic regression analyses yielded no statistically significant moderating effects of ethnicity and acculturation. The lack of statistically and clinically significant findings is likely due to inadequacies in operationalization of measurement. Future research with improved sample sizes and measurement approaches are needed to replicate the current study and to further explore the relationship between family dynamics and disordered eating among Asian Americans.
