Book Synopsis Body Image and Disordered Eating Patterns in African-American College Women by : Amazing Grace L. Danso

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 Adolescence Mental Health in School and University by : Iman Permana
Download or read book Adolescence Mental Health in School and University written by Iman Permana and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-29 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A school, whether run by the government or a private institution, is established to prepare adolescents for adulthood. In some regions, some religious societies have established a comprehensive educational institution supported by their religious competencies requirement in their curriculum, along with the national curriculum. Adolescence is a period of life that ranges from 10 to 19 years old and expands from school to the early phase of university. Adolescents are considered highly susceptible to mental health issues. Anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, and suicidal attempts have been shown to increase before the age of 24. There is a myriad of factors that can contribute to the development of mental health disorders in this context, including family, parenting style, and bullying from peers/teachers. Failing to address contributing factors may hinder adolescents from fulfilling and sustaining healthy and productive adult lives.

Download or read book Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters written by Courtney E. Martin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-04-17 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why does every one of my friends have an eating disorder, or, at the very least, a screwed-up approach to food and fitness?" writes journalist Courtney E. Martin. The new world culture of eating disorders and food and body issues affects virtually all -- not just a rare few -- of today's young women. They are your sisters, friends, and colleagues -- a generation told that they could "be anything," who instead heard that they had to "be everything." Driven by a relentless quest for perfection, they are on the verge of a breakdown, exhausted from overexercising, binging, purging, and depriving themselves to attain an unhealthy ideal. An emerging new talent, Courtney E. Martin is the voice of a young generation so obsessed with being thin that their consciousness is always focused inward, to the detriment of their careers and relationships. Health and wellness, joy and love have come to seem ancillary compared to the desire for a perfect body. Even though eating disorders first became generally known about twenty-five years ago, they have burgeoned, worsened, become more difficult to treat and more fatal (50 percent of anorexics who do not respond to treatment die within ten years). Consider these statistics: Ten million Americans suffer from eating disorders. Seventy million people worldwide suffer from eating disorders. More than half of American women between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five would pre fer to be run over by a truck or die young than be fat. More than two-thirds would rather be mean or stupid. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any psychological disease. In Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters, Martin offers original research from the front lines of the eating disorders battlefield. Drawn from more than a hundred interviews with sufferers, psychologists, nutritionists, sociocultural experts, and others, her exposé reveals a new generation of "perfect girls" who are obsessive-compulsive, overachieving, and self-sacrificing in multiple -- and often dangerous -- new ways. Young women are "told over and over again," Martin notes, "that we can be anything. But in those affirmations, assurances, and assertions was a concealed pressure, an unintended message: You are special. You are worth something. But you need to be perfect to live up to that specialness." With its vivid and often heartbreaking personal stories, Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters has the power both to shock and to educate. It is a true call to action and cannot be missed.
Book Synopsis Self-silencing, Eating Behaviors, and Relationship Satisfaction in African-American and White College Women by : Sarah Helenka Shouse
Download or read book Self-silencing, Eating Behaviors, and Relationship Satisfaction in African-American and White College Women written by Sarah Helenka Shouse and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suppression of expressing one's thoughts, feelings, and needs, or self-silencing, appears to have impact on the mental health of women (Jack, 1991 ; Jack & Dill, 1992) This study was based on feminist developmental theory and examined self-silencing in its relationships with eating behaviors and relationship satisfaction through the influence of moderating and mediating variables. Using a sample of African-American and White college women, individual and cultural differences were examined as possible factors that may protect from the negative impact of suppressing one's voice. Additionally, this study examined how emotional awareness and control influence the relationship between self-silencing and eating behaviors, and between self-silencing and relationship satisfaction. More similarities than differences were found between African-American and White women. Both groups reported relatively equal amounts of self-silencing behavior and this act correlated with eating behaviors and relationship satisfaction. Specifically, the women who engaged in higher levels of self-silencing reported more disordered eating behaviors, the less intuitive eating, and less relationship satisfaction. However, the relationship between self-silencing and disordered eating in African-American women was tentative. The results further showed that high-levels of self-silencing impede women's ability to eat intuitively. When women voiced their thoughts, feelings, and needs, they were more likely to engage in healthy eating behaviors. Researchers have recognized the importance of identifying predictors of intuitive eating, as this construct is more than just the absence of disordered eating (Tylka, 2006). Additionally, emotional awareness helped to explain intuitive eating behaviors, accounting for a unique amount of the variance of women's reported levels of this construct. An interaction between self-silencing and emotional awareness was found, suggesting that the expression of their subjective experiences was more important when women have clarity and insight into affective states, as the interaction of these variable detracted from positive eating behaviors. Implications for the finding were discussed.
Download or read book Fat Talk written by Mimi Nichter and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teen-aged girls hate their bodies and diet obsessively, or so we hear. News stories and reports of survey research often claim that as many as three girls in five are on a diet at any given time, and they grimly suggest that many are “at risk” for eating disorders. But how much can we believe these frightening stories? What do teenagers mean when they say they are dieting? Anthropologist Mimi Nichter spent three years interviewing middle school and high school girls—lower-middle to middle class, white, black, and Latina—about their feelings concerning appearance, their eating habits, and dieting. In Fat Talk, she tells us what the girls told her, and explores the influence of peers, family, and the media on girls’ sense of self. Letting girls speak for themselves, she gives us the human side of survey statistics. Most of the white girls in her study disliked something about their bodies and knew all too well that they did not look like the envied, hated “perfect girl.” But they did not diet so much as talk about dieting. Nichter wryly argues—in fact some of the girls as much as tell her—that “fat talk” is a kind of social ritual among friends, a way of being, or creating solidarity. It allows the girls to show that they are concerned about their weight, but it lessens the urgency to do anything about it, other than diet from breakfast to lunch. Nichter concludes that if anything, girls are watching their weight and what they eat, as well as trying to get some exercise and eat “healthfully” in a way that sounds much less disturbing than stories about the epidemic of eating disorders among American girls. Black girls, Nichter learned, escape the weight obsession and the “fat talk” that is so pervasive among white girls. The African-American girls she talked with were much more satisfied with their bodies than were the white girls. For them, beauty was a matter of projecting attitude (“’tude”) and moving with confidence and style. Fat Talk takes the reader into the lives of girls as daughters, providing insights into how parents talk to their teenagers about their changing bodies. The black girls admired their mothers’ strength; the white girls described their mothers’ own “fat talk,” their fathers’ uncomfortable teasing, and the way they and their mothers sometimes dieted together to escape the family “curse”—flabby thighs, ample hips. Moving beyond negative stereotypes of mother–daughter relationships, Nichter sensitively examines the issues and struggles that mothers face in bringing up their daughters, particularly in relation to body image, and considers how they can help their daughters move beyond rigid and stereotyped images of ideal beauty.

Book Synopsis Disentangling the Role of Self-esteem on Eating Disorders in African American Youth by : Carly A. Wagner

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self- esteem (SE) has been identified to have a significant impact on eating disorders (ED). Although previous studies have found a relationship between SE and EDs, further investigation in needed because SE and EDs affect gender, age, weight status, and ethnicity heterogeneously. In particular, there is limited research and inconsistent findings on the impact of SE on EDs in youth, males, and African Americans (AAs). This study had six aims: 1) Observe gender and age differences in SE, 2) Examine the impact of weight status on SE, 3) Observe gender and age effects on EDs, 4) Examine the impact of weight status on EDs, 5) Investigate the relationship between EDs and SE in youth, 6) Test mediation and moderation effects of weight, SE, and EDs. There were 215 male and female participants (Mage=13.3) recruited from low-income, predominantly AA urban communities. To assess SE the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used and the Children's Eating Attitudes Test was used to assess eating disorder behaviors. Results from this study revealed that there were no gender and age differences in participants SE. Obese and overweight youth indicated the lowest levels of SE. There was a significant association between SE and EDs. Females had higher levels of EDs and higher rates of obesity than males. Underweight youth had the highest rates of eating pathology compared to other weight categories. Obese and overweight youth had the highest rates of bulimia, anorexia, and oral control related symptoms compared to underweight and normal weight youth. Overall, the relation between SE, weight status, and EDs in the current sample is not a linear relationship and further investigation is warranted.

Book Synopsis Raising Eaters by : Maria Drvoshanov
Download or read book Raising Eaters written by Maria Drvoshanov and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From early childhood, young females are exposed to unrealistic images of women. From the fictionally disproportionate Barbie dolls in the first years of life to diet and plastic surgery ads in adulthood, these unrealistic expectations may lead women to develop poor self-esteem, and possibly disordered eating habits. However, parents also play a crucial role in these behaviors and research has shown that parenting styles impact self-esteem, eating behaviors, and disordered eating patterns (i.e., cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating). Authoritative parenting tends to be the most optimal of Baumrind's parenting styles in producing children with high self-esteem and healthy eating behaviors. While most studies focusing on the effects of parenting styles regarding self-esteem, eating behaviors, and disordered eating patterns have focused on young children and adolescents, the present study focuses on the long-term late effects of parenting style influencing these areas among adult females ages 25 and older through an online study. The current study recruited female participants over the age of 24 (n=192) for an online study assessing the parenting style of their maternal caregiver as well as their current self-esteem, eating behaviors, and disordered eating patterns. It was hypothesized that participants who were reared by maternal caregivers who primarily utilize an authoritarian parenting style would report more disordered eating patterns and demonstrate significant cognitively restrained (overly controlled eating patterns) or uncontrolled (losing control over eating) eating patterns which potentially increases the likelihood of a disordered eating diagnosis such as anorexia nervous, bulimia, and binge eating. This would be in direct contrast to the more optimally reared authoritative counterparts, who are hypothesized to demonstrate significantly lower scores on all three eating patterns and thus potentially resulting in a less prevalent rate of eating disorders being diagnosed. Significant PARENTING STYLE differences were found in respect to self-esteem and cognitive restraint. Participants who reported having an Authoritarian maternal caregiver reported higher levels of self-esteem compared to those raised by an Authoritative maternal caregiver. Additionally, participants who described their maternal caregiver as Authoritarian reported higher rates of being cognitively restrained in their eating compared to the more Authoritative counterparts.

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Self-compassion and Disordered Eating Behaviors by : Angela Danielle Finley-Straus
Download or read book The Relationship Between Self-compassion and Disordered Eating Behaviors written by Angela Danielle Finley-Straus and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of self-compassion has been gathering interest for researchers in recent years, as it appears to offer an array of benefits to wellbeing. This study investigated the potential role of self-compassion as a protective factor against disordered eating behaviors. It also examined the mediating roles of three potential variables: body dissatisfaction, perfectionism and contingent self-worth. Given modern representations of the female ideal, failure to achieve or adequately conform to such standards often poses psychological challenges for women and girls. Self-compassion encompasses kind, mindful self-treatment and may be an ideal protective factor against disordered eating. It has also been linked with lower body dissatisfaction, maladaptive perfectionism, and contingent self-worth. The present study found that dissatisfaction with one's body, as well as a tendency to judge one's personal worth based on appearance fully mediated the relationship between self-compassion and both restrained and emotional disordered eating respectively. Therefore, a self-compassionate attitude may serve as a protective factor against engaging in disordered eating vis-à-vis strengthening young women's abilities to look at their bodies in a more compassionate and unconditionally accepting way.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examines the relationship between the comments received by female adolescents concerning food, weight, and diet and the adolescents' own disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. The subjects in this study were 104 high school students, consisting of 32 9th-, 20 10th-, 32 11th-, and 20 12th-grade female students at a high school in a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas. The subjects consisted of approximately 75% European-American females and between 8-10% each African-American, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific Islander females. An extensive literature search established the need for this study. The following areas were reviewed: importance of weight, appearance, food, and dieting among family members; mothers' body images and eating concerns; weight- or appearance-related teasing; and family and peer pressure to lose weight. This study examined the difference between members of the disordered eating group and the non-disordered eating group in the following areas: (1) number of people making comments to the subjects; and (2) frequency of comments received by the subjects. In addition, an exploration was done in regards to (3) the people endorsed as most influential to the subjects; and (4) the comments which were perceived by the subject as the most influential. Data was analyzed using SPSS 10.0 MANOVA, ANOVA, Chi-square and descriptive statistics. Between group tests showed that there were statistically significant differences between the disordered eating group and the non-disordered eating group in the following areas: (1) number of people making comments encouraging the subject to diet; (2) frequency of negative comments about weight received by the subject; and (3) frequency of comments received encouraging the subject to diet. It is hoped that these findings will be useful in eating disorder interventions among high school adolescents by documenting the negative effects of these comments on adolescents and allowing interventions to be targeted at those social influences most significant to high school girls.
