OBJECTIVE
The authors evaluated the validity of familial enmeshment (extreme proximity in family relationships) as a risk factor for eating disorders across cultural value orientations. They tested the hypothesis that although familial enmeshment may be a risk factor for eating disorder pathology for (1) participants of non-Asian descent or (2) culturally independent participants, enmeshment will not be a risk factor for (1) participants of Asian descent or (2) culturally interdependent participants.
PARTICIPANTS
255 undergraduate women participated.
METHODS
Participants completed questionnaires on cultural value orientations, enmeshment, and eating disorder pathology.
RESULTS
As hypothesized, enmeshment was related to eating disorder pathology in non-Asian American and culturally independent participants, but not in Asian American and culturally interdependent participants.
CONCLUSIONS
Depending on cultural values, enmeshment may or may not be a risk factor for eating disorders. This study highlights the importance of examining risk factors in the appropriate cultural framework when considering college student mental health.
目的
作者评估了家庭纠缠（家庭关系中极度亲密）作为跨文化价值取向的饮食失调风险因素的有效性。他们检验了以下假设：尽管家庭纠缠可能是（1）非亚裔血统参与者或（2）文化独立参与者饮食失调病理的风险因素，但对于（1）亚裔血统参与者或（2）文化相互依存参与者而言，家庭纠缠并非风险因素。
参与者
255名本科女性参与。
方法
参与者完成了关于文化价值取向、家庭纠缠和饮食失调病理的问卷调查。
结果
正如假设的那样，家庭纠缠与非亚裔美国人和文化独立参与者的饮食失调病理有关，但与亚裔美国人和文化相互依存参与者无关。
结论
根据文化价值观，家庭纠缠可能是也可能不是饮食失调的风险因素。本研究强调了在考虑大学生心理健康时，在适当的文化框架中检查风险因素的重要性。
