Abstract

Prospective studies have found inconsistent relations between social support deficits and future increases in eating disorder symptoms. Furthermore, no prospective study has tested whether elevated eating disorder symptoms predict a future erosion of social support. Accordingly, the current study investigated the prospective reciprocal relations between perceived social support from both parents and peers and eating disorder symptoms in adolescent girls. In this study, 496 adolescent girls reported perceived social support and completed an eating disorder diagnostic interview annually for 7 years. Deficits in perceived peer, but not parental, support predicted future increases in eating disorder symptoms (p = .019, partial r = -.10). Furthermore, initial eating disorder symptoms predicted future reductions in perceived peer support (p = .016, partial r = -.11) but not parental support. Interestingly, these relations became nonsignificant when we controlled for negative affect and body mass index, suggesting that comorbid mood disorders and elevated body weight might partially drive these relations. Although both relations were small in magnitude, these results suggest low perceived peer support is a risk factor for future escalations in eating disorder symptoms and that elevated symptoms may contribute to a further erosion of peer support, creating a cyclical relation that maintains eating pathology. Conversely, high levels of perceived peer support could serve as a protective factor against future increases in eating pathology. These findings should advance interpersonal theories of eating pathology and inform the design of more effective prevention programs. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

社会支持与饮食失调症状之间的预期互惠关系。
前瞻性研究发现,社会支持不足与未来饮食失调症状的增加之间存在不一致的关系。此外,没有前瞻性研究测试饮食失调症状的升高是否预示着未来社会支持的侵蚀。因此,本研究旨在探讨来自父母和同伴的社会支持与青春期女孩饮食失调症状之间的预期互惠关系。在这项研究中,496名青春期女孩报告了感知到的社会支持,并在7年的时间里每年完成一次饮食失调诊断访谈。缺乏同伴的支持,而不是父母的支持,预示着未来饮食失调症状的增加(p = 0.019,部分r = - 0.10)。此外,最初的饮食失调症状预示着未来同伴支持的减少(p = 0.016,部分r = - 0.11),但不预示父母支持的减少。有趣的是,当我们控制负面情绪和体重指数时,这些关系变得不显著,这表明共病性情绪障碍和体重升高可能部分推动了这些关系。虽然这两种关系都很小,但这些结果表明,低感知同伴支持是未来饮食失调症状升级的一个风险因素,而症状的升高可能会导致同伴支持的进一步削弱,从而形成一种维持饮食病理的循环关系。相反,高水平的同伴支持可以作为防止未来饮食病理增加的保护因素。这些发现将促进饮食病理学的人际理论,并为设计更有效的预防方案提供信息。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,版权所有)。
