Towards the cross-cultural validation of the eating disorders inventory : a pilot study.Mitchell, Belinda May. January 2004 (has links)
Eating disorders were predominantly perceived to be a white, Western higher socioeconomic
phenomenon. However, as Western cultural values have been embraced, eating disorders appear to
have become prevalent across racial, ethnic and socio-economic groups. In the last decade there
has been an increased interest in assessing eating disorders from a cross-cultural perspective. Many studies have been conducted in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
Relatively few empirical studies have been conducted in South Africa. The Eating Disorders
Inventory (EDI) is an instrument that has been used in eating disorder research and is known to be reliable and valid. Although the EDI has been used in South Africa, its cross-cultural validity has not yet been determined. The purpose of this research is a pilot cross-cultural validation of the EDI to determine if this design would be appropriate for a large-scale validation project. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg,2004.

Acculturation and disordered eating : an exploration of disordered eating practices across cultures.Kramers, Anne Louise. January 2000 (has links)
Research suggests that the eating disorders (anorexia nervosa and bulimia) represent a caricature of the sociocultural values placed on young women to achieve thinness and beauty ideals. Although eating disorders have long been thought to occur only in White, "Western" cultures, more recent research suggests that women from different cultural groups are presenting with unhealthy eating attitudes and behaviours. In South Africa's pluralistic cultural context, the effects ofcontinuous first-hand contact between cultures (acculturation) is an important area of research, especially in light ofthe hypothesised etiological role ofsociocultural factors in eating disorders. The present study aims to address the association between acculturation and disordered eating in a non-clinical sample of nursing students in Pietermaritzburg. Additionally, it aims to contribute to the development of a local acculturation instrument. The South African Acculturation Scale (SAAS) was developed based on the work of Berry (1976), Berry, Trimble and Olmedo (1986) and Berry (1997). The Individualism-Collectivism (INDCOL) scale (Hui, 1988) and the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI, Garner & Olmsted, 1984) were included in the questionnaire profile A pilot study was undertaken on 28 students in the health arena, in order to assess the psychometric properties of the assessment instruments. The results of the pilot study yielded adequate reliability co-efficients for the SAAS, although the INDCOL scale yielded unexpectedly inconsistent results. The formal study adopted a cross-sectional design on a population of 155 nursing students. The sample consisted of37 Blacks, 33 Whites, 11 Indians and 7 Coloureds between 19 and 28 years of age. Additionally, the sample included 49 Blacks, 3 Whites, 11 Indians and 4 Coloureds greater than, or equal to 29 years ofage. The research findings suggest that both Black and White respondents display a propensity towards disordered eating. Black respondents scored higher on measures of the psychological correlates of eating disorders, and Whites scored higher on the attitudinal and behavioural measures of disordered eating. Partial support was obtained for the hypothesis that assimilation and individualist values are correlated to eating disorder pathology. The findings suggest that acculturating young women from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds present with a degree of risk for the development of eating disorders. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc) - University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2000.

Family characteristics of anorexic, bulimic, psychiatric control, and nonpsychiatric control female adolescentsTaylor, Lori Anne 11 1900 (has links)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the
characteristics and interaction patterns in the families of
adolescent eating—disordered patients. Four groups of female
adolescents and their mothers (restrictive anorexic, bulimic
type, psychiatric control, and nonpsychiatric control) were
assessed on a number of self-report instruments: The Family
Environment Scale, Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Work and Family
Orientation Questionnaire, Sex Role Ideology Scale, Food
Fitness and Looks Questionnaire, and Body Esteem Scale.
Support was found for the hypothesis that the families of
bulimic type and psychiatric control subjects are
characterized as more dysfunctional than the families of
restrictive anorexic and nonpsychiatric control subjects. In
particular, restrictive anorexic and nonpsychiatric control
mothers and daughters characterized their families as more
cohesive than did bulimic type and psychiatric control mothers
and daughters. No differences were found amongst the four
groups on expressiveness, conflict, independence,
organization, control, or marital adjustment. These family
interaction data were found to vary with the adolescent’s
level of depression, general psychiatric distress, and
impulsivity, but only for daughters, not for mothers. Little
support was found for the hypothesis that restrictive anorexic
and bulimic type mothers and daughters are characterized as
higher in achievement orientation, traditional sex role
ideology, and weight and appearance orientation than psychiatric control mothers and daughters. There were no
group differences with respect to individual or family
achievement orientation; however, restrictive anorexic and
nonpsychiatric control daughters did have higher school grades
than psychiatric control daughters. No differences in sex
role ideology were found amongst the groups. Restrictive
anorexic and bulimic type daughters, but not mothers, ascribed
greater importance to weight and had more negative attitudes
toward their own weight than psychiatric and nonpsychiatric
control daughters. No group differences were found for
mothers or daughters with respect to attitude toward one’s own
attractiveness or importance ascribed to appearance or
fitness. Potential explanations for lack of congruence with
the theoretical literature are advanced, and the possible
specificity of family pseudocohesiveness and problem denial to
eating disorders is discussed.

Psychosocial Predictors of Eating Disorder Classification: Longitudinal and Cross-Sectional AnalysesTackett, Bailey Price 08 1900 (has links)
There is growing concern for eating pathology and body dissatisfaction in sports; particularly, in sports that emphasize a lean body type. In 325 female collegiate swimmers/divers and gymnasts, we examined psychosocial well-being (i.e., perception of weight pressures, levels of internalization, body satisfaction, dietary intent, negative affect) at the beginning and end of an athletic season and predict their eating disorder classification at the end of their athletic season. Logistic regressions revealed that a model containing all 14 predictors at the beginning and end of an athletic season significantly predicted eating disorder classification at the end of an athletic season. Specifically, in the longitudinal logistic regression, with every one unit of increase on a measure of the pressure felt within the sport environment regarding their weight and every unit increase on a measure of their intentions to diet, respectively, the female athletes were 49% and 89% more likely to be classified in the subclinical/clinical group at the end of their sport season. Surprisingly, with every one unit of increase on a measure of sociocultural pressure to exercise, female athletes were 43% less likely to be classified in the subclinical/clinical group six months later. The cross-sectional logistic regression found that only dietary restraint was significant. Specifically, with every one unit of increase on a measure of their intentions to diet the female athletes were 3.6 times more likely to be classified in the subclinical/clinical group at the end of their sport season. The implications of this study may emphasize the importance of body healthy sport systems to reduce sport specific pressures and dieting among female collegiate athletes. Limitations of this study include self-report measures and longitudinal timeframe was only across one athletic season.
