Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the seriousness and prevalence of eating disorders, exploring the etiology of these disorders and identifying specific at-risk populations is crucial. One promising risk factor that has been linked to the development of eating disorders is competitiveness (Burckle, Ryckman, Gold, Thornton, & Audesse, 1999; Striegel-Moore, Silberstein, Grunberg, & Rodin, 1990). Additionally, specific populations of women have been shown to experience higher rates of eating disorders. Women in sororities are one such group identified with higher rates of disordered eating than their non-sorority counterparts (Basow, Foran, Bookwala, 2007; Crandall,1988; Schulken, Pinciaro, Sawyer, Jensen, & Hoban, 1997). Therefore this study will seek to understand more about how competitiveness may differentially impact this population of women and contribute to higher rates of eating disorder symptomatology. This project has several objectives. First, the prevalence of eating disorders, competition among women, and relational aggression among women in sororities will be addressed. In order to assess whether women in sororities differ from women who are not in sororities on measures of eating disorders symptomatology, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be conducted. The constructs of competitiveness and relational aggression will be compared amongwomen in sororities and their non-sorority counterparts. A one-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) will be conducted to determine whether there are mean differences between women in sororities and those not on four constructs of competitiveness (hypercompetitiveness, personal development competitiveness, female competition for status competitiveness, and female competition for mates competitiveness). Finally, an ANOVA will be conducted to determine if there are mean differences between women in sororities and women not in sororities on a measure of relational aggression. The second focus of this project is to examine if different forms of competitiveness are better at predicting eating disorders. The constructs of competitiveness that have been individually demonstrated to predict eating disorder behavior will be included. Multiple regression will be used to examine how well knowing a participant's type of competitive attitude will help explain eating disorder symptomatology. Lastly, because the literature has not yet explored how relational aggression relates to the development of eating disorders, the final purpose of this study will be to understand this relationship. In attempting to understand this relationship, a mediation model will be performed. Participants for this study will include 270 undergraduate women from the Educational Psychology subject pool.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: College is a transition period in a young adult’s life in which eating disorder symptomology is especially prevalent. Additionally, motivation-based factors such as goal orientation and motivational climate can influence these eating disorder-like behaviors, especially in a physical activity setting. The present study aimed to examine how goal orientation, motivational climate, and exercise could be used to predict a college students’ eating disorder symptomology. Participants included 276 college-aged males and females from a university in the southeastern United States. These participants had experience using the university recreation activity center and were recruited from a required healthful living course. Each participant was asked to fill out demographic information as well as five questionnaires. Data was analyzed using multiple regression analyses, with R coefficients being used to evaluate prediction models. It was anticipated that certain variables from an individual’s goal orientation and motivational climate would account for a significant amount of variance among eating disorder symptomology. Namely, it was hypothesized that both ego orientation and an ego-involving climate would significantly predict eating disorder symptomology in college-aged students. Additionally, it was expected that both task orientation and a task- or care-involving climate would not significantly predict eating disorder-like behavior. Finally, it was hypothesized that higher levels of reported exercise would correspond to increased eating disorder symptomology. The results of the current study suggested that goal orientation was the only significant predictor of eating disorder symptomology, with task orientation and goal orientation together accounting for 2.5%, task orientation by itself accounting for 1.3% of the variance, and ego orientation by itself accounting for 1.2% of the variance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several lines of evidence suggest considerable overlap of predictors of weight gain and eating disturbance, particularly bulimic pathology. While psychological predictors have been extensively researched, relatively few studies have focused on biological predictors apart from weight. Prior findings suggest that body weight relative to previous highest weight (weight suppression) predicts weight gain and eating disturbance, but the psychological and biological mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unexplored. In the current study, body fat, a biological variable that seems to have both biological (e.g., metabolic) and psychological (e.g., body-image influencing) salience for bulimia nervosa was examined in relation to weight suppression, body image, and eating disturbance in non-eating disordered college-aged women who were followed prospectively for two years. Women with greater fat stores, independently ofBMI, had higher levels of body dissatisfaction, and women with more central fat deposition at baseline were more likely to lose weight and fat over two years. Those who lost weight and fat over two years were more likely to develop eating disturbance over two-year follow-up, and women higher in WS at baseline were more likely to develop compensatory behaviors at two-year follow-up. The results of this study deepen our current understanding of the interplay between biological and psychological risk factors for eating disorders and could inform eating disorder prevention efforts by suggesting that women with higher central fat deposition are more distressed about their appearance.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognition of the importance of the role of family factors to eating disorders dates back to 1873 when Lasegue highlighted the importance of family in the explanation of anorexia nervosa. A positive relationship between family dysfunction and disordered eating has been routinely cited in the literature; however, there are many studies that have been published in which family dysfunction is related to other psychiatric disorders as well (Fairburn et al., 1997). Thus, there is an emerging need to examine specific factors of the family that are associated with disordered eating. A significant relationship between maternal commentary about weight and shape and disordered eating among daughters has been cited in the literature (Annus et al., 2007). Family functioning and negative paternal commentary regarding body shape and eating have been associated with increased disordered eating and have been shown to fully mediate the relationship between family dysfunction and disordered eating. In addition to maternal commentary, influence from peers to be thin has also been found to be significantly related to eating disorders among females. Furthermore, peer influence has emerged as a stronger predictor of eating disorder symptoms among college women compared to family influence (van den Berg et al., 2002). Thus, it appears important to assess peer influence when examining eating pathology among college women. To date, numerous studies regarding disordered eating have been conducted among Caucasian women; however, the cultural make-up of college student populations is increasingly becoming more diverse (Snyder et al., 2005), underscoring the importance of examining predictors of eating disorder symptomatology among women from diverse racial and ethnic groups. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to examine the relation of general family functioning, negative maternal commentary regarding body shape and eating, and peer influence among Hispanic and Caucasian college women. The research questions are as follows: (1) To what extent does negative maternal commentary about body shape and eating mediate the relationship between general family functioning to behavioral and attitudinal eating disorder symptoms among Hispanic and Caucasian college women? (2) What is the relative contribution of peers and mothers' messages regarding body shape and eating to Hispanic and Caucasian college women's behavioral and attitudinal eating disorder symptoms? (3) Does peer influence moderate the relationship of mother's commentary about weight and body shape to behavioral and attitudinal eating disorder symptoms? The sample will consist of approximately 300 Caucasian and Hispanic undergraduate women for the University of Houston. Students will be recruited through sororities and through university courses. Participants will complete a demographic questionnaire, the Family Assessment Device (measure of family functioning), the Eating Disorder Examination - Questionnaire (measure of eating disorder attitudinal symptoms and behavioral symptoms), the Peer Influence Scale (measure of cues from peers to obtain or attain a thin body shape), the Family Experiences Related to Food Questionnaire - Mother (measure of maternal commentary about body shape and weight), and the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican-Americans II (measure of acculturation to western culture). Four series of regression analyses will be conducted to assess the extent to which the relationship between family functioning and eating disorder attitudinal and behavioral symptoms is mediated by maternal commentary among Caucasian and Hispanic college women. Two additional hierarchical regression analyses will be conducted to examine the combined and unique contribution of negative maternal commentary and peer influence to eating disorder attitudinal and behavioral symptoms as well as the extent to which peer influence moderates the relationship between maternal commentary and eating disorder attitudinal and behavioral symptoms among Caucasian and Hispanic college women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This encyclopedia offers a variety of resources for readers interested in learning more about eating disorders, including hundreds of reference entries, interviews, scholarly debates, and case studies. While many people may reflexively imagine an anorexic or bulimia teenage girl upon being asked to think about eating disorders, eating disorders are a form of mental illness that can take many forms and affect individuals of all genders, ages, and ethnic backgrounds. In fact, an estimated eight million people in the United States struggle with an eating disorder, making eating disorders one of the most prevalent forms of mental illness in America. This two-volume encyclopedia comprehensively examines eating disorders as the forms they can take; their causes and potential complications; and how they can best be treated and prevented. It also examines the influence had by cultural factors such as the fashion industry, television and movies, and social media. More than just a simple A-to-Z reference, Eating Disorders: Understanding Causes, Controversies, and Treatment also includes valuable features such as Q&A interviews with those affected by and working to combat eating disorders, case studies, scholarly essays that voice opinions in key debates, and a directory of resources for individuals seeking help.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Binge eating has received increased attention in the psychological literature, as the health consequences are becoming increasingly well known. The prevalence of subclinical binge eating (i.e., binge eating that is not associated with a diagnosable eating disorder) is elevated among college women, some of whom will go on to develop more serious problems. Thus, improved understanding of subclinical binge eating in this population can help to inform prevention and intervention strategies. In a sample of 472 college women this study evaluated the relationships among four theoretically relevant factors hypothesized to predict binge eating: trait anger, anger suppression, impulsivity, and emotion regulation. After confirming the factor structure of the UPPS Impulsivity Scale through confirmatory factor analysis, we found that the UPPS factors of urgency and lack of perseverance predicted binge eating. In addition, trait anger predicted binge eating above and beyond general negative affect. Anger suppression also predicted binge eating, and we found that both anger suppression and emotion regulation partially mediated the relationship between trait anger and binge eating. The implications of these findings for assisting college women with binge eating are addressed. --Page ii.
