This study tested a model examining the impact that early affiliative memories (both with family and peers) on eating psychopathology, and whether these links are carried by the mechanisms of external shame and body image-related perfectionistic self-presentation, in a sample of 480 female college students. Path analyses' results revealed that this model accounted for 48% of disordered eating's variance and suggests that the lack of early positive emotional memories is associated with higher levels of shame (feelings of inferiority and unattractiveness), and with higher tendency to adopt body image-related perfectionistic strategies, that seem to explain excessive eating concern and rigid control of one's eating behaviors. This study offers important insights for future research and for the development of intervention programs, by revealing the importance of assessing and targeting shame and perfectionistic strategies and suggesting the importance of promoting adaptive emotion regulation strategies.
本研究在 480 名女大学生样本中测试了一个模型,该模型考察了早期亲和记忆(与家庭和同伴)对饮食病理学的影响,以及这些联系是否通过外部羞耻感和与身体形象相关的完美主义自我呈现机制来传递。路径分析的结果表明,该模型解释了饮食障碍变异的 48%,表明缺乏早期积极的情感记忆与更高水平的羞耻感(自卑感和不吸引力)相关,并且与采用与身体形象相关的完美主义策略的倾向更高,这似乎可以解释过度关注饮食和对自己的饮食行为进行严格控制。本研究通过揭示评估和针对羞耻感和完美主义策略的重要性,并建议促进适应性情绪调节策略的重要性,为未来的研究和干预计划提供了重要的见解。
