This book was released on 2000 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study will examine the relationship between acculturation and the attitudes toward eating disorders in Mexican American girls and young women in the state of New Mexico. this longitudinal repeated measures (2) study will span a 6-year period starting at age 12 (+/-1 year) and ending when the young women reach age 18. The test battery for this study will consist of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale (BAS) for Hispanics. Subjects will participate in testing at 2-year intervals. The female head-of-household, either the mother or guardian, will also accompany the young girls in the every-other-year testing. It is hypothesized that at each year of testing the gap between mother's and daughter's scores on the BAS will get wider, indicating the daughter's increased acculturation to Western cultural ideals.

Download or read book Association Between Acculturation and Intuitive Eating Among Latina Women written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acculturation processes involve adaptation from the culture of origin to the host culture. As a result, foreign born Latinos experience a shift in norms, values, behaviors, and attitudes towards non-Latino (Western) culture when relocating to the United States. Acculturation among Latina women has been associated with behaviors contributing to obesity and may affect dieting behaviors. Behavior change interventions targeting weight loss through diet achieve moderate short term weight loss. Changes, however, are not sustained and disrupt homeostasis. In contrast, intuitive eating offers a non-dieting approach to weight management teaching participants to eat according to physiological hunger and satiety cues. Intuitive eating has been associated with improved physiological and mental health outcomes. A convenience sample of 54 Latina women completed surveys and anthropometric measurements at baseline as part of Valorando Nuestros Cuerpos (Valuing Our Bodies) pilot study. This aim of this study was to assess the relationship between acculturation and intuitive eating among Latina women residing near the United States-Mexico border using a cross-sectional survey. This study examined the relationship between acculturation and intuitive eating using multiple measures of acculturation including Marin's Bi-dimensional Acculturation Scale (BAS), country of birth, years of residence and age at arrival among foreign born, and the Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2). Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients and a multiple linear regression were run to assess the significance of the variables representing acculturation and intuitive eating (IE). Results indicated the majority of the sample was foreign born, overweight or obese, dominant in Latino culture according to the BAS, and relatively high intuitive eating scores. Contrary to the hypothesis, analyses found no significant relationship between acculturation and intuitive eating. However, the relationship between BMI and intuitive eating approached significance. Possible reasons for lack of significance include volunteer bias from convenience sampling, frequent border crossing, and low levels of acculturation. Further research is needed to validate the translation of the complete IES-2 scale into Spanish and to include a group of Latina women with more variance in generations and ethnic groups. Despite a lack of statistical significance, intuitive eating remains a promising approach to weight maintenance for Latina women.

This book was released on 2004-09-10 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican-Americans now constitute two thirds of what has become the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the United States, Hispanics. They have distinct cultural patterns and values that those who seek to serve them competently as clinicians and educators, and those who attempt to study them, need to understand. This is the first comprehensive overview of the psychology of the Chicana/o experience since 1984. Solidly grounded in the latest theory and research, much of which is relevant to other Latina/o groups as well, The Handbook of Chicana/o Psychology and Mental Health is an indispensable source of up-to-date information and guidance for mental health and education professionals, their trainees and students; and for social and behavioral scientists interested in the impact of cultural differences in multicultural settings.

Download or read book Chicana and Chicano Mental Health written by Yvette G. Flores and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirit, mind, and heart—in traditional Mexican health beliefs all three are inherent to maintaining psychological balance. For Mexican Americans, who are both the oldest Latina/o group in the United States as well as some of the most recent arrivals, perceptions of health and illness often reflect a dual belief system that has not always been incorporated in mental health treatments. Chicana and Chicano Mental Health offers a model to understand and to address the mental health challenges and service disparities affecting Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans/Chicanos. Yvette G. Flores, who has more than thirty years of experience as a clinical psychologist, provides in-depth analysis of the major mental health challenges facing these groups: depression; anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder; substance abuse; and intimate partner violence. Using a life-cycle perspective that incorporates indigenous health beliefs, Flores examines the mental health issues affecting children and adolescents, adult men and women, and elderly Mexican Americans. Through case studies, Flores examines the importance of understanding cultural values, class position, and the gender and sexual roles and expectations Chicanas/os negotiate, as well as the legacies of migration, transculturation, and multiculturality. Chicana and Chicano Mental Health is the first book of its kind to embrace both Western and Indigenous perspectives. Ideally suited for students in psychology, social welfare, ethnic studies, and sociology, the book also provides valuable information for mental health professionals who desire a deeper understanding of the needs and strengths of the largest ethnic minority and Hispanic population group in the United States.

This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancing work to effectively study, understand, and serve the fastest growing U.S. ethnic minority population, this volume explicitly emphasizes the racial and ethnic diversity within this heterogeneous cultural group. The focus is on the complex historical roots of contemporary Latino/as, their diversity in skin-color and physiognomy, racial identity, ethnic identity, gender differences, immigration patterns, and acculturation. The work highlights how the complexities inherent in the diverse Latino/a experience, as specified throughout the topics covered in this volume, become critical elements of culturally responsive and racially conscious mental health treatment approaches. By addressing the complexities, within-group differences, and racially heterogeneity characteristic of U.S. Latino/as, this volume makes a significant contribution to the literature related to mental health treatments and interventions.

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.
