Objective. To investigate media and cultural influences in eating disorder development in African-American adolescent females. Method. Fifty-seven participants were recruited through churches and community organizations to complete a questionnaire. Results. Mainstream sociocultural identification was associated with more eating disorder behavior in African-American females; cultural ethnic identification was not significantly associated with eating disorder behavior in African-American females, mainstream sociocultural identification, cultural ethnic identification, and body dissatisfaction significantly predicted eating disorder behavior; and cultural ethnic identification was positively correlated with mainstream sociocultural identification. This study provides support for the importance of eating disorder prevention interventions that focus specifically on African-American girls.
目的。探讨媒体和文化对非裔美国青少年女性饮食失调发展的影响。方法。通过教会和社区组织招募了57名参与者来完成一份问卷。结果。主流社会文化认同与非裔美国女性更多的饮食失调行为相关；文化种族认同与非裔美国女性的饮食失调行为无显著关联，主流社会文化认同、文化种族认同和身体不满显著预测饮食失调行为；文化种族认同与主流社会文化认同呈正相关。本研究为专门针对非裔美国女孩的饮食失调预防干预措施的重要性提供了支持。
