Book excerpt: The results of my study indicated that the hypothesis of my primary purpose was not statistically supported. The results were approaching significance and may have been improved with a larger sample size. The data also indicated that alternative methods cover a substantial breadth of potential participants. The results also indicated that the hypothesis of my secondary purpose was fully supported. These results indicate that the effect of exercise on eating disorder symptoms is mediated by exercise dependence. Future research can build upon these results by continuing to use the advantages of new and evolving alternative technologies in the recruitment of difficult to reach populations. Through this, future research may also expand on the results of my secondary purpose by recruiting larger and more diverse samples. Because of the negative physical and psychological consequences of eating disorder, prevention efforts are a high research priority.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ours is a society in which thinness, particularly in women, is idealized, even at the cost of health. Adolescent girls and young women are especially at risk of developing eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. The need for wide-spread prevention among at-risk populations is paramount, as these disorders are often difficult to treat and can contribute to a range of physical and mental health problems. Studies have found that a cognitive dissonance-based intervention significantly outperforms other intervention programs and is successful in preventing onset of eating disorders. This facilitator guide outlines a two part group intervention program for adolescent and college-aged girls at risk of developing eating disorders. In the first part of the program, participants critique the thin-ideal through discussion, role-playing, and written exercises. Participants learn skills that increase body satisfaction, decrease unhealthy weight control behaviors, and prevent eating disorder symptoms. The second part of the intervention is designed to help participants make gradual and permanent lifestyle changes to achieve a healthy body weight. It teaches how to eat for energy balance, make healthy food choices, and incorporate physical exercise into a daily routine. This group therapy program is based on 16 years of research and has been completed by over 1000 adolescent girls and young women. It can be effectively delivered by real world providers, such as school counselors, nurses, and teachers. This facilitator guide provides all the information needed to successfully implement the program, including explanation of Cognitive Dissonance theory, session outlines complete with exercises, and recommendations on how to train group leaders and recruit participants.

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.

Book Synopsis Eating Disorders in Sport by : Ron A. Thompson
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 385 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.
Book Synopsis Relations Among Media, Eating Pathology and Body Dissatisfaction in College Women by : Carrie E. Bair
Download or read book Relations Among Media, Eating Pathology and Body Dissatisfaction in College Women written by Carrie E. Bair and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has identified a relation between exposure to thin-ideal magazine and television media images and eating disorder pathology. However, few studies have examined the potential influence of Internet media on eating disorder behaviors and attitudes. This study investigated the associations among appearance-orientated media exposure, body dissatisfaction, eating pathology and thin-ideal internalization in a sample of 421 female undergraduate students. Results indicate that undergraduate women spend significantly more time viewing appearance-oriented sources online, rather than reading appearance-orientated magazines. Appearance-oriented Internet consumption was also more strongly associated with eating disorder pathology than was use of other media (television and magazines). Relations between appearance-orientated media use (all types) and body dissatisfaction was mediated by thin-ideal internalization. These findings are consistent with those of previous research, and highlight the vulnerability individuals high in thin-ideal internalization might have following media exposure. They also suggest that Internet media might be an important topic to include in eating disorders prevention and treatment.

Book excerpt: Despite high reports of body-image related pathology in Latinas, how traditional cultural factors contribute to body dissatisfaction and eating disorder etiology is unknown. Current conceptualizations of eating disorder etiology, developed from studies on predominantly White women, reflect the Anglo-American experience. Examining the negotiation between Latino and American sociocultural ideals and influences is imperative to understanding culture’s impact on body-image pathology. A hierarchical regression will be utilized where acculturation and cultural values will serve as predictors of body dissatisfaction and eating disorder risk in a sample of Latina college students. Failure to understand culturally-specific Latino influences perpetuates under-identification of EDs and comorbidities as well as inability to develop culturally-competent interventions

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.
Book Synopsis Critical Elements that Affect Collegiate Athletes' Risk of Eating Disorder and Performance Perfectionism by : Rachel A. Gaines
Download or read book Critical Elements that Affect Collegiate Athletes' Risk of Eating Disorder and Performance Perfectionism written by Rachel A. Gaines and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined how sexual orientation, gender, collegiate division, and type of sport affected risk of developing an eating disorder and performance perfectionism in collegiate athletes. It was hypothesized that female athletes and Division I athletes would exhibit a higher level of perceived pressures and a higher risk of developing an eating disorder than male athletes and other divisions, respectively. In addition, homosexual athletes and athletes in aesthetic sports would report greater levels of perceived performance pressures and would express greater risk of developing an eating disorder than their counterparts. Methods: Two hundred and seventy-seven collegiate athletes (57 males; 210 females) from Division I (N = 64), II (N = 79), and III (N = 119) colleges and universities participated in this study. Participants completed a demographics questionnaire, Eating Attitudes Test-16, and the Sport-Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale to evaluate the eating attitudes and performance perfection of collegiate athletes. Factorial MANOVAs were used to examine the mean vector scores of perfectionism between genders and divisions I, II, and between sexual orientation and type of sports. Factorial ANOVAs were used to examine mean differences of risk of developing an eating disorder between genders and among athletes in divisions as well as sexual orientation and type of sports. A hierarchical multiple regression was used to predict eating disorders from gender and other independent variables. Results: A significant difference in PS and PPP were found between Divisions I and III athletes. Significant differences in COM, PS, PPP, and PCP were found between athletes in aesthetic and non-aesthetic sports participants. Likewise, significant differences were found for COM, PPP, and PCP based on sexual orientation. Female athletes had a significantly greater risk of developing an eating disorder than male athletes, and they are at a significantly higher risk of developing an eating disorder in non-aesthetic and aesthetic sports than male athletes. A moderate positive correlation between risk of developing an eating disorder and COM and between COM and PCP was found. Gender was found to be a significant predictor of eating disorders in athletes. Conclusion: Extrinsic and personal pressures influence collegiate athletes to pursue perfectionism within sport that could negatively affect psychological, physical, and emotional health. Gender differences in eating attitudes suggest eating disorders remain more prominent in female athletes; however, pathological eating disorders are still present in male athletes. These results suggest that training and awareness programs must be established within athletic departments to reduce discrimination, promote early detection, and create an open environment conducive to all members participating.
Book Synopsis Eating Attitudes and Reasons for Exercise Among Physically Active College Female Students by : Ann Weber (Graduate student)
Download or read book Eating Attitudes and Reasons for Exercise Among Physically Active College Female Students written by Ann Weber (Graduate student) and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disordered eating attitudes and exercise behaviors are important factors when studying the continuum of eating disorders. An individual's attitude toward eating may influence other behaviors and thoughts toward health and exercise. A convenience sample study was used to examine the relationship between eating attitudes, reasons for exercise, and age among 190 physically active female college students ages 18 to 57. Participants completed the Disordered Eating Attitude Scale (DEAS) and Reasons for Exercise Inventory (REI). Level of exercise was self-reported by the participants and categorized as low, moderate, or high according to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Pearson's Correlation determined that DEAS scores were significantly related to exercising to control weight (p=.000) and improve appearance (p=.000). There was no association between level of exercise and DEAS score or between age and DEAS score. This suggests that the college females in the study hold high regard to body image and exercise for non-health related reasons.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body image concerns are extremely widespread in our society and have been linked to psychological problems as well as the development of eating disorders. One difficulty in treating these concerns is that people often delay treatment due to shame or embarrassment. Therefore, a potentially effective means of treatment delivery is through anonymous, computerized interventions offered via the Internet. While few studies have been conducted overall, initial research with computerized psychoeducation and asynchronous programs has been promising. However, no studies have systematically evaluated the efficacy of synchronous communication, and none have been tested within the eating disorder domain. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a synchronous intervention for college-aged women at risk for developing an eating disorder, as defined by high body image concerns. Sixty women (mean age = 18.9 [SD = 2.4], 65% Caucasian, mean BMI = 25.6 [SD = 5.7]) with high body image concerns were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 30) or wait-list control (n = 30) groups. Each week during the 8-week program, participants logged onto a private chatroom and participated in a 1-hour, moderated discussion regarding body image and eating behaviors. The intervention was adapted from cognitive-behavioral techniques and self-directed behavior change theories to improve body satisfaction and problematic eating patterns before full syndrome disorders develop. Treatment components included psychoeducational readings, synchronous support (chat sessions), asynchronous support (message board), homework assignments, and discussion summaries. Assessments were conducted at baseline, post-treatment, and 10-weeks after post-treatment. Participants' indicated high satisfaction with the mode of intervention delivery. A significant interaction was found for eating disorder pathology as measured by the Eating Disorders Examination-Questionnaire Global score (F[2,116] = 4.04, p
Book Synopsis Increasing Help-seeking for Eating Pathology Among Collegiate Athlete by : Shelby Martin

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletes experience elevated risk for eating pathology (EP), but evidence lower levels of help seeking for EP than the general population. Indeed, athletes experience general (e.g., stigma) and athlete- pecific (e.g., "push past physical and mental pain" attitude) barriers to help-seeking. Although general mental health help-seeking interventions have improved help seeking outcomes in athlete samples, no study has developed an intervention to increase EP help-seeking among athletes. The current study examined the effects of a 75-minute mental health literacy and stigma reduction intervention among 107 collegiate athletes (54.2% female) randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. All athletes completed measures of help-seeking stigma, attitudes, intentions, and behavior at baseline, post-intervention, and at six-week followup. At post-intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in attitudes and intentions towards seeking help for EP and general mental health, relative to the control group. No significant differences in perceived social-stigma and self-stigma were found between the groups post-intervention. At six- week follow-up, the intervention group demonstrated higher rates of help-seeking and/or referring a friend for help than the control group. However, sustained improvements in help-seeking attitudes and intentions were not present in the intervention group compared to the control group, apart from EP help-seeking attitudes. Finally, the mechanisms of change underlying the intervention remained elusive; group did not predict post-intervention attitudes and intentions towards EP help- seeking through perceived social-stigma influencing self-stigma. Findings support the effectiveness of a customized intervention to improve EP help-seeking variables among athletes.

Book Synopsis Examining Unhealthy Exercise Among Individuals with Binge Eating and Restrictive Eating by : Shelby J. Martin
Download or read book Examining Unhealthy Exercise Among Individuals with Binge Eating and Restrictive Eating written by Shelby J. Martin and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unhealthy exercise (UE) is a core symptom of eating disorders (EDs) characterized by exercising out of compulsion, obligation, or to counteract the effects of recent food intake on weight/shape. There appears to be two distinct forms of UE that may be differentially associated with eating pathology (i.e., dietary restriction, binge eating). Specifically, compulsive exercise may be more characteristic of anorexia nervosa (AN)/restriction, whereas compensatory exercise may be more characteristic of bulimia nervosa (BN)/binge eating. One factor that may account for the differential presentations of UE among individuals with different core ED symptoms is emotion dysregulation, as research has found that unique emotion regulation difficulties characterize dietary restriction (i.e., primary emotion avoidance) and binge eating (i.e., secondary emotion avoidance,
