Using data from 3 samples of working women and men, the present study examines the association between sexual harassment and eating disorder symptoms by studying the processes that may underlie this relationship. The results of structural equation modeling suggest a link between sexual harassment and eating disorder symptoms among women and indicate that this relationship is mediated by psychological distress, self-esteem, and self-blame. Further, sexual harassment was found to predict eating disorder symptoms among women even when experiences of sexual assault were included in the model. No relationship was found between sexual harassment and eating disorder symptoms among men. The theoretical and clinical implications of these results are discussed.
本研究利用来自职业女性和男性三个样本的数据,通过研究可能构成这种关系基础的过程,考察了性骚扰与饮食失调症状之间的关联。结构方程模型的结果表明,女性中性骚扰与饮食失调症状之间存在联系,并表明这种关系由心理困扰、自尊和自责介导。此外,即使在模型中纳入了性侵犯经历,研究也发现性骚扰能够预测女性的饮食失调症状。而在男性中,未发现性骚扰与饮食失调症状之间存在关联。本文还讨论了这些结果的理论和临床意义。
