Given that most eating disorders develop in adolescence and early adulthood, early life experiences are said to play a key role in the aetiology of eating disorders. There are well-documented relationships between early maladaptive schemas and eating disorders, early maladaptive schemas and temperament and temperament and perceived parenting style. The present study aimed to test a hypothesis that perceived parenting style predicts temperament, which predicts early maladaptive schemas, which predict eating disorder symptoms in young people.
An online survey measured perceived parenting style, temperament, early maladaptive schemas and eating disorder symptoms in 397 people with disordered eating between the ages of 18 and 29. Path analysis was used to investigate the relationship between these elements.
The results found support for this hypothesis. Perceived maladaptive parenting ratings for mothers were a stronger predictor of temperament, and only two temperament factors were adequate predictors of early maladaptive schemas.
Overall, the present study found preliminary support for a linear relationship where perceived parenting style predicts temperament, which predicts early maladaptive schema levels, which predicts eating disorder symptoms. The present study was the first to propose and test this model; however, further research is required to confirm the nature and extent of this relationship.
鉴于大多数饮食失调症在青春期和成年早期出现，据说早年经历在饮食失调症的病因中起关键作用。早期适应不良图式与饮食失调症之间、早期适应不良图式与气质之间以及气质与感知到的养育方式之间存在有充分文献记载的关系。本研究旨在检验一个假设，即感知到的养育方式可预测气质，气质可预测早期适应不良图式，而早期适应不良图式可预测年轻人的饮食失调症状。
一项在线调查测量了397名年龄在18至29岁之间饮食失调者的感知养育方式、气质、早期适应不良图式和饮食失调症状。采用路径分析来研究这些因素之间的关系。
结果支持了这一假设。母亲的感知适应不良养育评分是气质的更强预测指标，只有两个气质因素是早期适应不良图式的充分预测指标。
总体而言，本研究初步支持了一种线性关系，即感知到的养育方式可预测气质，气质可预测早期适应不良图式水平，而早期适应不良图式水平可预测饮食失调症状。本研究首次提出并检验了该模型；然而，需要进一步研究来证实这种关系的性质和程度。
