This study aimed to compare the attitudes and psychopathology of eating disorders of Asian and Caucasian university students using a survey method. The study also investigated the relationship between acculturation, attitudes and psychopathology of eating disorders in sub-groups of Asian girls. There were 130 Asian and 110 Caucasian adolescent girls, aged 18-24 who were screened using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI-2) and an Acculturation Index. The Asian group did not have higher mean EAT score than the Caucasian group, but had higher mean score in some sub-scales of the EDI-2. Eating disordered attitudes and psychopathology was not significantly different in the low compared to the high accultured Asian girls. This study suggests that Asian and Caucasian university students in Western Australia are equally susceptible to eating disorders, and that the level of acculturation does not modify the susceptibility of Asian students for eating disorders.
本研究旨在采用调查方法比较亚洲和白种人大学生饮食失调的态度和精神病理学情况。该研究还调查了亚洲女孩亚组中文化适应、饮食失调态度与精神病理学之间的关系。共有130名亚洲和110名白种人青春期女孩参与，年龄在18至24岁之间，她们接受了饮食态度测试（EAT-26）、饮食失调量表（EDI-2）和文化适应指数的筛查。亚洲组的EAT平均得分并不高于白种人组，但在EDI-2的一些子量表中得分较高。与文化适应程度高的亚洲女孩相比，文化适应程度低的亚洲女孩在饮食失调态度和精神病理学方面没有显著差异。这项研究表明，西澳大利亚的亚洲和白种人大学生同样容易患饮食失调症，并且文化适应程度并不会改变亚洲学生患饮食失调症的易感性。
