Book excerpt: Historically, males have been ignored and misunderstood within the field of eating disorders, and their eating patterns often do not map on to those studied among females. Gender differences for motivations to engage in maladaptive eating are salient-- females generally desire thinness whereas males typically desire a muscular build. Given this higher drive for muscularity, males may engage in more muscularity-oriented eating pathology—often characterized as eating excess calories throughout the day and/or eating specific macronutrients. Previous findings have indicated that body dissatisfaction, negative affect, internalization of the body ideal and impulsivity are associated with disordered eating habits among men. Thus, the current study set out to explore these predictors on various subtypes of men’s eating pathology. Participants were (N = 309) undergraduate college men between 18 and 35 years old (M = 19.61, SD = 2.58) at San Diego State University. Participants were recruited for participation through the University’s subject pool. Participants completed a 30-minute self-report questionnaire online regarding eating and exercise habits. Analyses included two structural equation models which estimated four predictors of eating pathology on three subtypes of disordered eating. Four independent latent variables were created (body dissatisfaction, internalization of body ideals, negative affect, and impulsivity); as were three latent outcome variables(restrictive eating, binge/purge behaviors, and muscularity-oriented eating). All four predictors and three outcomes were assessed in one model. An additional model controlling for age, ethnicity, race, sexual identity, and body mass index was subsequently assessed. In the unadjusted model, impulsivity negatively predicted restrictive eating, while body dissatisfaction predicted more restrictive eating. Negative affect was marginally significant in predicting muscularity-oriented eating. In the adjusted model, all predictors became nonsignificant, however, non-Latino participants engaged in more restrictive eating and muscularity-oriented eating than Latinos, and BMI predicted more engagement in restrictive eating. The structural equation models show there may be differential associations between these known risk factors and the various subtypes of eating pathology. These findings may have implications for future prevention and treatment interventions for men, which are still lacking. More research is needed to further understand men’s disordered eating behaviors.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite growing evidence of their prevalence, clinical and subclinical disordered eating behaviors among men continue to be understudied phenomena. When compared to females, predictors of male disordered eating vary across ethnic groups, suggesting cultural influences on disordered eating. Moreover, gay and bisexual men experience pronounced levels of body dissatisfaction, sensitivity to societal body image standards, and subsequent disordered eating when compared to straight men and gay women. This study investigated possible differences in prediction of disordered eating among intersections of male ethnicity and sexuality. We approached this question through a transtheoretical lens that integrated intersectionality and minority stress theories. Archival data from a sample of African American, Latino, and White college men were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. Predictors of emotional and binge eating behaviors differed across ethnicity, in that body dissatisfaction and media internalization for African American and Latino males exhibit the strongest unique associations with emotional and binge eating behaviors, while the strongest unique predictors of emotional and binge eating behaviors among White males are depressive symptoms and low self-esteem. Moreover, African American sexual identity and depressive symptoms interact, as gay or bisexual men report stronger unique associations between depression symptoms and emotional and binge eating. All predictors (i.e., body dissatisfaction, depression symptoms, low self-esteem, media internalization, and sexual minority identity) were unable to explain sufficient variance in over exercise behaviors in African American men. Results suggest ethnicity and sexual orientation are meaningful to the experience of disordered eating in men, and that underlying mechanisms may exhibit differing associative patterns across ethnic identity. Clinicians working with ethnically and sexually diverse male disordered eating populations may use the results to better inform treatment interventions and conceptualization. These findings also support the value of intersectional quantitative methodology and the limits of relying on single-axis identity as a predictive element.

Download or read book Eating Disorders in Boys and Men written by Jason M. Nagata and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boys and men with eating disorders remain a population that is under-recognized and underserved within both research and clinical contexts. It has been well documented that boys and men with eating disorders often exhibit distinct clinical presentations with regard to core cognitive (e.g., body image) and behavioral (e.g., pathological exercise) symptoms. Such differences, along with the greater likelihood of muscularity-oriented disordered eating among boys and men, emphasize the importance of understanding and recognizing unique factors of clinical relevance within this population. This book reviews the most up-to-date research findings on eating disorders among boys and men, with an emphasis on clinically salient information across multiple domains. Five sections are included, with the first focused on a historical overview and the unique nature and prevalence of specific forms of eating disorder symptoms and body image concerns in boys and men. The second section details population-specific considerations for the diagnosis and assessment of eating disorders, body image concerns, and muscle dysmorphia in boys and men. The third section identifies unique concerns regarding medical complications and care in this population, including medical complications of appearance and performance-enhancing substances. The fourth section reviews current findings and considerations for eating disorder prevention and intervention for boys and men. The fifth section of the book focuses on specific populations (e.g., sexual minorities, gender minorities) and addresses sociocultural factors of particular relevance for eating disorders in boys and men (e.g., racial and ethnic considerations, cross-cultural considerations). The book then concludes with a concise overview of key takeaways and a focused summary of current evidence gaps and unanswered questions, as well as directions for future research. Written by experts in the field, Eating Disorders in Boys and Men is a comprehensive guide to an under-reported topic. It is an excellent resource for primary care physicians, adolescent medicine physicians, pediatricians, psychologists, clinical social workers, and any other professional conducting research with or providing clinical care for boys and men with eating disorders. It is also an excellent resource for students, residents, fellows, and trainees across various disciplines.
Download or read book Males With Eating Disorders written by Arnold E. Andersen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1990. The subject of anorexia nervosa and, more recently, bulimia nervosa in males has been a source of interest and controversy in the fields of psychiatry and medicine for more than 300 years. These disorders, sometimes called eating disorders, raise basic questions concerning the nature of abnormalities of the motivated behaviors: Are they subsets of more widely recognized illnesses such as mood disorders? Are they understandable by reference to underlying abnormalities of biochemistry or brain function? In what ways are they similar to and in what ways do they differ from anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa in females? This book will be of interest to a wide variety of people—physicians, psychologists, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, nutritionists, educators, and all others who may be interested for personal or professional reasons.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Psychology - Clinical Psychology, Psychopathology, Prevention, ( Atlantic International University ), language: English, abstract: It is generally accepted that eating disorders are a serious concern among women but we are faced with a severe lack of research into the prevalence of men struggling with their body image. Sadly, many doctors still do not recognize cases of eating disorders in men with the result that fewer than 5% of all referrals to specialist eating disorder clinics are male (Morgan: 2008). Pollack (1999) discovered that at Harvard Medical School, there is increasing evidence that many men (and probably boys too) are becoming increasingly obsessed with their bodies. Men are beginning to diet in unprecedented numbers with an estimated one million of them suffering from eating disorders (Luciano: 2002). This figure of one million is perceived to be understated as males with eating disorders are for too often under diagnosed. Andersen et al. (2000) confirms that eating disorders in males has been overlooked and in some treatment centres, the ratio of men to women has changed over the past ten years from almost entirely women to 50:50. In Psychology Today magazine in 1997, an amazing 43%, nearly half of the men in the survey reported that they were dissatisfied with their overall appearance. Of those men surveyed, 63% were dissatisfied with their abdomen, 52% with their weight, 55% with their muscle tone and 38% with their chest (Pope et al: 2000). There does not seem to be a specific age at which men develop eating disorders, with sufferers as young as eight years old and eating disorders usually appearing around 14-25 years of age (B-eat). Children as young as two years old have already developed damaging eating habits, this can lead to eating disorders as the child ages, with 52,17% of eating disorders persisting into adulthood (Sancho et al: 2007). Morgan (2008) explains that eating disorders and body image problems develop slowly and subtly, but once you start to use eating habits and exercise as a means of dealing with distressing emotions, then there may be a problem. In a Brief History of Eating Disorders (2009) we find that after puberty, one million boys and men will have eating disorders; this coupled with Paterson’s statement that ‘on average, it seems to be approximately six years before men [or boys] will seek help’...
Download or read book Eating Disorders in Sport written by Ron A. Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 301 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eating disorders in males are a complex phenomenon. Eating disorders are less common in males than in females, occurring generally 10 times more frequently in women than in men. In spite of similar symptoms in men and women, men are less likely to be primarily diagnosed as suffering from an eating disorder and they risk to be under-diagnosed. This new and unique book reviews research on the epidemiology, clinical features, risk factors, weight and shape concerns, body dissatisfaction and a particular male anxiety on muscle mass on the topic of eating disorders in males.

Download or read book The Relationship of Attachment and Self silencing with Disordered Eating in Men written by Adam Scott Dziedzic and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preponderance of the eating disorder literature has tended to focus on predictors and treatment considerations for women with disordered eating concerns, despite recent research suggesting that men may account for up to 30% of all cases of disordered eating and eating disorders (Strother, Lemberg, Standford, & Turberville, 2012). More research is needed to identify predictor and mediating variables related to disordered eating and eating disorders unique to men. Additionally, self-silencing patterns in men and women have been inconsistent. Researchers have described how adult attachment and self-silencing are related to eating pathology in women, but research with men is lacking. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was twofold: (1) to discern the factor structure of the Silencing the Self Scale for men (Jack, 1991) and (2) to examine relationships between attachment-related anxiety, attachment-related avoidance and self-silencing with body image/disordered eating behaviors unique to men's concerns. Two hundred fifty-four men who were recruited from a midwestern (n = 145) university as well as Facebook social media (n = 109) completed an online survey consisting of four questionnaires (Demographic Sheet; Experiences in Close Relationships Scale- Revised [Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000], Silencing the Self Scale, and the Male Eating Behavior and Body Image Evaluation Scale [Kaminski, Chapman, & Temple, 2004]). Results indicated a two-factor solution for self-silencing: Divided Self (i.e., presentation of a compliant outer self to maintain relational harmony while internally feeling angry and resentful) and Care as Sacrifice (i.e., placing the needs of others before the self to a degree that may be harmful), which has not been found in the previous research literature. Only attachment-related anxiety was found to significantly predict body image/disordered eating behaviors. Attachment-related anxiety significantly predicted Divided Self and Care as Sacrifice scores while attachment-related avoidance was found to predict only Divided Self scores. Mediation analyses revealed that Divided Self fully mediated the relationship between attachment-related avoidance and body image/disordered eating behaviors. Divided Self and Care as Sacrifice partially mediated the relationship between attachment-related anxiety and body image/disordered eating behaviors. Study limitations, implications for theory and practice, and considerations for future research are discussed.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Sexual and Gender Minority Mental Health written by Esther D. Rothblum and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 984 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Sexual and Gender Minority Mental Health provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of research on the mental health of sexual minorities-defined as those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or same-gender attracted; as well as the mental health of gender minorities-defined as individuals who do not fully identify with their sex assigned at birth, including people who are transgender or gender non-binary. The twenty-first century has seen encouraging improvements in sampling, methods, and funding opportunities for research with sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations; nevertheless, a key purpose of this Handbook is to identify lingering gaps in research in order to motivate future scientists to expand knowledge about SGM mental health. The volume begins with a historical overview, followed by sections on mental health categories/diagnoses (such as anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and suicide) and specific sexual and gender minority populations (including examinations of diverse ethnicities and orientations/identities). The handbook concludes with chapters on stigma, the role of resilience, and future directions for research with SGM groups. The volume is aimed at researchers conducting studies on the mental health of SGM populations, clinicians and researchers interested in psychiatric disorders that affect SGM populations, clinicians using evidence-based practice in the treatment of SGM patients/clients, students in mental health programs (clinical psychology, psychiatry, clinical social work, and psychiatric nursing), and policy makers.
