This study explored the effects of participating in a dissonance-based eating disorder prevention program on changes in thin ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, and eating symptoms among White, Asian American, and Hispanic participants.
Participants were (n = 394), 13 to 20-year-old adolescent girls and young women who reported being White (n = 311), Hispanic/Latina (n = 61), or Asian-American/Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (n = 33). The current study used data drawn from the pre- and post assessments of an efficacy trial and an effectiveness trial of this eating disorder prevention program.
The intervention reduced disordered eating behaviors and eating disorder risk factors for all three ethnic groups at post-intervention assessment; there was no evidence of significantly stronger effects in any particular ethnic group.
Results suggest that a cognitive dissonance-based prevention program for eating disorders may be equally effective for Asian American, Hispanic, and White adolescent women.
本研究探讨了参与一项基于认知失调的饮食失调预防项目对白人、亚裔美国人和西班牙裔参与者在瘦身理想内化、身体不满和饮食症状变化方面的影响。
参与者为394名13至20岁的少女和年轻女性,她们分别报告自己是白人(311名)、西班牙裔/拉丁裔(61名)或亚裔美国人/夏威夷人/太平洋岛民(33名)。本研究使用了来自该饮食失调预防项目疗效试验和效果试验的前后评估数据。
干预后评估显示,该干预措施减少了所有三个种族群体的饮食紊乱行为和饮食失调风险因素;没有证据表明在任何特定种族群体中有显著更强的效果。
结果表明,基于认知失调的饮食失调预防项目对亚裔美国、西班牙裔和白人青少年女性可能同样有效。
