Limited research exists on ethnic-racial differences in the objective and subjective experiences of binge eating among women in the United States. The present study examined binge eating related psychopathology in a nationally representative sample of White, Black, Native American, Asian, and Hispanic women.
A subsample of 5,726 women between the ages of 19 and 27 years were selected from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health.
Ethnic-racial differences in binge eating related psychopathology were found. Asians and Native Americans were more likely than Whites to report they would feel embarrassment related to binge eating. Hispanics were more likely than Whites and Blacks to report they would be afraid to start eating for fear of losing control.
Findings suggest that the affective dimensions associated with binge eating are differentially represented among ethnic-racial groups. Implications for treatment and prevention programs are discussed.
关于美国女性暴饮暴食的客观和主观体验中的种族差异，现有研究有限。本研究在一个具有全国代表性的白人、黑人、美洲原住民、亚洲人和西班牙裔女性样本中，对与暴饮暴食相关的精神病理学进行了研究。
从青少年健康全国纵向研究中选取了5726名年龄在19至27岁之间的女性作为子样本。
发现了与暴饮暴食相关的精神病理学方面的种族差异。亚洲人和美洲原住民比白人更有可能报告称，她们会因暴饮暴食而感到尴尬。西班牙裔比白人和黑人更有可能报告称，她们会因害怕失去控制而不敢开始进食。
研究结果表明，与暴饮暴食相关的情感维度在不同种族群体中存在差异表现。讨论了对治疗和预防项目的启示。
