To investigate the role of perfectionism in the development of disordered eating behaviours.
382 female university students completed the Hewitt & Flett MPS and the EAT-40 at baseline, and 1 year after (T1) and 206 2 years later (T2).
Perfectionism at baseline was significantly associated with long-term abnormal eating attitudes/behaviours. Self-Oriented Perfectionism (SOP) and Socially Prescribed Perfectionism (SPP) were significant predictors of disordered eating behaviours. Regression analysis revealed that SOP at baseline was predictive of Diet Concerns and overall eating disturbance (EAT total score), at T1 and T2. SPP was a significant predictor of Social Pressure to Eat at T1 and T2 and of Bulimic Behaviours only at T1.
Our findings contribute to a more clear understanding of the association between perfectionism and eating disorders. SOP and SPP were prospectively associated with abnormal eating attitudes/behaviours and SOP was found to be predictive of diet concerns and overall eating disturbance.
探讨完美主义在饮食失调行为发展中的作用。
382名女大学生在基线、1年后(T1)和2年后(T2)完成了休伊特和弗利特的多维完美主义量表(MPS)以及进食态度测试40项问卷(EAT - 40)。
基线时的完美主义与长期异常的饮食态度/行为显著相关。自我导向型完美主义(SOP)和社会规定型完美主义(SPP)是饮食失调行为的显著预测因素。回归分析显示,基线时的SOP可预测T1和T2时的节食担忧和总体饮食紊乱(EAT总分)。SPP是T1和T2时进食社会压力的显著预测因素,且仅在T1时是暴食行为的显著预测因素。
我们的研究结果有助于更清楚地理解完美主义与饮食失调之间的关联。SOP和SPP与异常饮食态度/行为存在前瞻性关联,且发现SOP可预测节食担忧和总体饮食紊乱。
