Abstract

Objective: According to self-determination theory, satisfied basic psychological needs can be a protective factor for psychopathology, including eating disorders and anxiety symptomatology. However, most research has focused on adolescent and adult populations, with less work examining perceived basic psychological need satisfaction from parents in younger samples who report anxiety and disordered eating. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate whether basic psychological need satisfaction from parents was associated with disordered eating in preadolescents and whether anxiety mediated this relation.Method: A total of 211 preadolescents were recruited from primary schools across south Wales (mean age = 10.27 years, age range = 9-11 years; 49.3% female). Children completed self-report questionnaires on their basic psychological need satisfaction when with parents, as well as disordered eating and anxiety symptoms.Results: It was found that higher needs satisfaction was associated with lower disordered eating and anxiety, with stronger relations found in girls compared with boys. Furthermore, anxiety was found to mediate this relationship.Conclusions: Results suggest that basic psychological needs satisfaction may play an important role in the early emergence of co-occurring disordered eating and anxiety symptoms in boys and girls. The importance of considering anxiety symptoms in future work investigating needs satisfaction in the context of disordered eating and eating disorders is discussed.

不良饮食行为与基本心理需求满足:青少年焦虑症状的中介作用。
目的:根据自我决定理论,基本心理需求的满足可以成为包括饮食失调和焦虑症状在内的精神病理学的保护因素。然而,大多数研究都集中在青少年和成年人群体中,较少研究报告焦虑和饮食失调的年轻样本从父母那里感知到的基本心理需求满意度。这项横断面研究旨在调查父母的基本心理需求满意度是否与青少年的饮食失调有关,以及焦虑是否在这种关系中起中介作用:从威尔士南部的小学共招募了 211 名学龄前儿童(平均年龄 = 10.27 岁,年龄范围 = 9-11 岁;49.3% 为女性)。孩子们就与父母在一起时的基本心理需求满意度以及饮食失调和焦虑症状填写了自我报告问卷:结果发现,较高的需求满意度与较低的饮食失调和焦虑有关,其中女孩与男孩的关系更为密切。结论:研究结果表明,基本心理需求满足程度越高,饮食失调和焦虑程度越低:结论:研究结果表明,基本心理需求的满足可能在男孩和女孩早期出现饮食失调和焦虑症状的过程中起着重要作用。本文讨论了在未来研究饮食紊乱和饮食失调背景下的需求满足时考虑焦虑症状的重要性。
