Book Synopsis Longitudinal Course of Eating Disorder Risk Among Undergraduate Females at Brigham Young University by : Erin Blue Winters
Download or read book Longitudinal Course of Eating Disorder Risk Among Undergraduate Females at Brigham Young University written by Erin Blue Winters and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study examined the prevalence rates and longitudinal course of eating disorder risk among undergraduate females at BYU, and compared the identified prevalence rates at BYU with identified rates at other colleges and universities. Almost 2,000 undergraduate females, in three cohort groups, filled out the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) once a semester for four to eight semesters. Clinical cut-off scores were used to determine what percentage of participants were at high risk for eating disordered behaviors and symptomology. Overall eating disorder risk prevalence rates at BYU ranged from 9-11%. These rates were significantly lower than identified rates at other colleges and universities. The results also showed notable decreases in the percentages of women who fell in the at-risk range as participants progressed through their college years. Freshmen women had the highest risk for disordered eating behaviors.
Book Synopsis Body Image and Disordered Eating Patterns in African-American College Women by : Amazing Grace L. Danso
Download or read book Body Image and Disordered Eating Patterns in African-American College Women written by Amazing Grace L. Danso and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, increasing scholarly attention is being given to eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating. A bulk of the research on the issue has focused on Caucasian women. As a result, the body of research may be limited in its generalization to other racial and ethnic groups. This study, therefore, sought to study disordered eating among African-American college women. Two models based on research questions were tested. The first focused on how body mass index (BMI) impacted disordered eating, while the second focused on how the difference between perceived actual and ideal body image impacted disordered eating. Self-esteem was tested as a mediating factor for both models. Data were collected from a total sample of 21 African-American women from a large, private university on the east coast. Findings suggested that African-American college women had high self-esteem and a perceived actual and ideal body image that were similar. Results also demonstrated a low prevalence of eating disorders among this population, even though more than half of participants demonstrated a potential risk for developing an eating disorder. These findings have implications for counseling and student care centers by shedding light on typical attitudes about body image within this demographic and the eating behaviors that follow as a result.
Book Synopsis Eating Disorder Risk in Subgroups of College Freshman Women by : Karen Gochnour
Download or read book Eating Disorder Risk in Subgroups of College Freshman Women written by Karen Gochnour and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this study was to identify subgroups within the college population having a heightened risk for eating disorders. The information for this analysis was retrieved from an existing data set. The two variables that were compared were self selection of college major at the initial collection during freshman year. The sample size of 1,924 was used to see if subgroups of college majors had a heightened risk. Twenty groups composed of similar majors were studied. The majors of Dance, Dietetics, Physical Education, and Communications had heightened risk according to analysis percentage of each group in the clinical range on the Eating Attitudes Test-40 (EAT-40), EAT-40 mean, and/or EAT-40 median. Results indicate that Dance, Dietetic, Physical Education, and Communications would merit additional resources to prevent eating disorders at the college level.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine disordered eating behaviors in Dietetic majors versus Nursing and Human Development and Family Studies majors at the Kent State University campus. The aforementioned majors at Kent State University primarily consist of the female population. Female Health and Human Services majors (n=345, ages 18-25) participated in an online questionnaire and included questions from the EAT-26, EAT-26 behavioral questions and the ORTO-15 questionnaire. Remaining questions collected demographic data. Variables measured included major (Nursing, HDFS, Nutrition & Dietetics) and class standing (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior). An ANOVA factorial design and independent t-tests were used to determine the differences in disordered eating scores. The data were compiled and analyzed using social sciences (SPSS) software (version 18.0.3). There was no significant difference in disordered eating behaviors between majors or between class standing. However, 28% of the population was classified as being at-risk for orthorexia nervosa, 18% of the population was classified at-risk for an eating disorder based off of EAT-26 scores, and 30% were classified at-risk for an eating disorder based off of EAT-26 Behavior scores. An apparent problem exists concerning disordered eating and eating disorders in the female college-aged population, suggesting that education and screening needs to expand further than the population of Nutrition & Dietetics majors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In western culture, disordered eating behaviors such as purging and fasting impact many young women. The current study examined the relation between childhood experiences and college eating behaviors. Annus and colleagues (2007) found a link between mothers who modeled negative eating behaviors (e.g., overeating when emotionally distraught) and daughters' eating behaviors later in life. The relation between mother and child can extend beyond modeling; teasing by family or peers about weight can impact eating behaviors as well (Annus et al., 2007). Through these experiences it is believed children develop expectancies about weight and shape such as dieting and thinness lead to an overall life improvement and self improvement (Simmons et al., 2002). In the current study college women recalled their perceptions of their mothers eating behaviors. They also answered questions about mothers' restriction of food intake and family and peer teasing. Participants responded to questions about thinness expectancies, body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating behaviors from their current perspective. Results indicated connections between perceptions of childhood experiences and current beliefs and behaviors related to eating habits. Suggestions for future research and family dynamics are presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The role of negative affect has been a consistent finding in disordered eating literature. However, much of this research is quantitative in nature and typically addresses the formal eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge-eating Disorder (BED). Often, individuals may engage in subthreshold disordered eating behaviors, such as emotional eating and may be at risk of developing a formal eating disorder. College-age women are especially vulnerable to developing these subthreshold disordered eating behaviors. There is limited research that explores the contextual factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of emotional eating among college women. The current study was designed to explore the experiences of emotional eating behaviors among college-age women using a qualitative phenomenological approach. College-age women (N = 8) were interviewed using a semi-structured interview format based around three central questions: (a) What are the participants' experiences with emotional eating?; (b) What is the association between emotional eating and relationships with significant others?; (c) How did participants begin the behavior of emotional eating? Results demonstrated the emergence of three primary categories: cycle of emotional eating, purpose of emotional eating, and interpersonal influences. These categories were further explained through themes and sub-themes. The results suggest that there are additional factors that contribute to emotional eating other than negative affect. These findings will be used to inform current treatment and develop prevention strategies that target college-age women who may be at risk for developing an eating disorder. Limitations of the study, implications for practice, and future research directions are discussed.

Download or read book Predictors of Eating Disorders in College-aged Women written by Vanessa Scaringi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The serious consequences and high prevalence rates of eating disorders among women have been well documented (American Psychiatric Association, 2000; Birmingham, Su, Hlynasky, Goldner, & Gao, 2005; Crow, Praus, & Thuras, 1999; Steinhausen, 2009). Factors linked to the development of an eating disorder include competitiveness and group membership (Basow, Foran, & Bookwala, 2007; Striegel-Moore, Silberstein, Grunberg, & Rodin, 1990). The purpose of this study was to further examine risk factors associated with eating disorder symptomatology by examining the role of sorority membership, different forms of competition, and relational aggression. Sorority membership was hypothesized to impact a participant's eating disorder symptomatology, competitiveness, and relational aggression. Additionally, this study looked at three different forms of competition (Hypercompetition, Female Competition for mates, and Female Competition for status) and sought to understand which form of competitiveness best predicts eating disorder symptomatology. Female Competition for mates was hypothesized to best predict disordered eating. Lastly, relational aggression was expected to moderate the relationship between competition among women and eating disorder behaviors. An increase in relational aggression was hypothesized to strengthen the relationship between competition among women and eating disorder symptomatology. The reasoning for this relationship was based on an evolutionary framework that proposes aggression is needed to drive competition (Shuster, 1983). Participants included 407 undergraduate women, with a split of 211 sorority members and 196 non-sorority women. Measures included four subscales from the Eating Disorder Inventory (Garner et al., 1983), the Hypercompetitive Attitudes Scale (Ryckman et al., 1996), the Female Competition for mates scale, the Female Competition for status scale (Faer et al., 2005), and the Indirect Aggression Scale (Forrest et al., 2005). Separate regression analyses were conducted to answer each research question. Participants also answered qualitative questions after completing the surveys. Analyses revealed sorority membership significantly predicted a participant's Female Competition for status. Female Competition for mates was found to best predict both body dissatisfaction and drive for thinness such that the higher a participant's competition for mates score, the lower these eating disorder symptoms. No moderating effects of relational aggression were found in the model. Additionally, social desirability was included in the regressions as a means of controlling for a participant's tendency to self-report desirably. An important surprise finding was that social desirability was a significant predictor of eating disorder symptomatology, competition, and relational aggression. Exploratory qualitative analyses suggested women's acceptance of their bodies, while their conversations with friends included self-deprecating ways of discussing their appearance. Findings also suggest sorority membership predicts higher female competition for mates and status. Results reveal a relationship between competition and disordered eating which suggests important considerations for clinicians to explore with clients who may experience eating disorder symptomatology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College can be a stressful time for students. During this transitional phase, many young women face new challenges, including unique social and academic stressors, which increase the risk of developing eating disorders and eating disorder behaviors. In fact, it is estimated that 7% to 18% of college women screen positive for eating disorders. College women are also increasingly using mobile health applications for diet, physical activity, and weight loss (weight loss apps) even when weight loss may be unnecessary. These apps support dieting and promote the thin ideal, which are related to the development of eating disorders. Thus, the combination of the college environment and use of weight loss apps may further exacerbate eating disorder behaviors among this population. However, the usage and consequences of weight loss apps in the context of eating disorders is not well known. Some aspects of weight loss apps may be helpful for eating disorder recovery while others may inhibit recovery and even harm users. Significant research exists on weight loss apps and the quantification of health behaviors, known as the quantified self, in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). However, most of these studies view weight loss apps as a positive influence on users and a way to combat the obesity epidemic in the United States. While the negative effects of social media and pro-eating disorder communities have been well studied, this research tends to ignore the potential negative implications of weight loss apps. In terms of positive use and impact, research tends to focus on online eating disorder support communities and treatment apps and often neglects potential positive aspects of non-eating disorder specific technologies, such as weight loss apps. In this dissertation study, I address these limitations in existing research by conducting a qualitative study, which includes think-aloud exercises and semi-structured interviews, with college women with eating disorder behaviors. The bulk of this research rests on the main study, which aims to understand the usage and unintended consequences of weight loss apps among this population. Through this research, I provide an understanding of why college women with eating disorder behaviors use weight loss apps, descriptions of how weight loss apps are used, and descriptions of unintended negative and positive consequences. This dissertation study is important because it is among the first research to consider the role of weight loss apps in the context of eating disorders. Findings from this research contribute to our understanding of eating disorders and app design. Specifically, I present a conceptual understanding of an individuals health journey, which includes the changing nature of app use and the mutual influence between an individual and technology. Then I provide an identification of problematic aspects of design, which challenges the current narrative about weight loss apps. Based on problematic aspects of design, I make design suggestions, which are important for designing future weight loss apps and other similar health technologies to focus more on promoting healthy behaviors. This research emphasizes the need for a fundamental shift in how we think about and design for health within apps.

Download or read book The Role of Peer Groups on Disordered Eating in College Females written by Nancy H. Roffman and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On college campuses, disordered eating appears to be a growing and debilitating problem (Zalta & Keel, 2006). The current study examined the association between peer groups and disordered eating attitudes and behaviors among college students, and whether additional factors such as self-esteem, the importance of peers' opinions to the individual and other aspects of the peer network moderate that relation. Participants were 130 female college students who supplied demographic information and completed questionnaires about their individual eating attitudes and behaviors, their primary peer groups' eating attitudes and behaviors, their own self-esteem, and the extent to which peers' opinions matter to the individual, in addition to questions that queried aspects and characteristics of their peer groups.-- From the author's abstract.
