It has previously been shown that stress situations reveal an association between perfectionism and unhealthy eating attitudes in nonclinical females. The present study aimed to extend these findings by also measuring psychological and physiological reactions to induced stress. Forty-two female university students completed measures of state anxiety, perfectionism and unhealthy eating attitudes on two occasions: an average day and after a task designed to induce stress. Physiological responses to stress were measured before, and immediately after the task. Whilst Body Dissatisfaction was associated with aspects of perfectionism both at baseline and immediately after the stress task, Drive for Thinness was only associated with Concern over Mistakes and Personal Standards after the task. These findings confirm previous work showing that stress encourages a relationship between disturbed eating behaviours and perfectionism and therefore, have implications for prevention and early intervention programmes for eating disorders.
此前已有研究表明，在非临床女性中，压力情境揭示了完美主义与不健康饮食态度之间的关联。本研究旨在通过测量对诱发压力的心理和生理反应来扩展这些发现。42名女大学生在两个时间点完成了状态焦虑、完美主义和不健康饮食态度的测量：一个平常日以及在一项旨在诱发压力的任务之后。在任务前和任务后立即测量对压力的生理反应。虽然身体不满意在基线时以及压力任务后即刻都与完美主义的各个方面相关，但只有在任务后，追求瘦身才与对错误和个人标准的关注相关。这些发现证实了先前的研究成果，即压力会促使紊乱的饮食行为与完美主义之间产生关联，因此，对饮食失调的预防和早期干预项目具有启示意义。
