Abstract

This study presents an initial effort to develop disordered eating pathology (DEP) prevention program with an emphasis on maternal involvement. Disordered eating pathology representing a range of behaviors and attitudes, from negative body image to full-blown eating disorder. It appears mainly in adolescent females and related to psychological and familial factors, including maternal modeling of thinness. A sample of 118 Israeli girls (11-12) was divided into three groups: participants in the program in parallel with their mothers, participants without their mothers, and control. Participants completed self-report questionnaires. Groups were tested three times: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up. For those girls who participated in parallel with their mothers, higher self-esteem was associated with fewer pathological diet behaviors. Findings deepen understanding of the risk factors involved in the development of DEP. The main study contribution is the important role mothers play in preventing DEP among their daughters.

母亲参与女儿自尊和节食行为的作用。

本研究介绍了为制定饮食紊乱病症（DEP）预防计划所做的初步努力，重点在于母亲的参与。饮食失调病理学代表了从负面身体形象到全面饮食失调的一系列行为和态度。它主要出现在青春期女性身上，与心理和家庭因素有关，包括母亲以瘦为美。118名以色列女孩（11-12岁）被分为三组：与母亲同时参加该计划的参与者、没有母亲参加的参与者和对照组。参与者填写自我报告问卷。对各组进行了三次测试：干预前、干预后和后续测试。对于那些与母亲同时参与的女孩来说，较高的自尊与较少的病态饮食行为有关。研究结果加深了人们对 DEP 发病风险因素的了解。这项研究的主要贡献在于，母亲在预防其女儿出现病态饮食行为方面发挥了重要作用。
