520 $a Also, other findings suggested that higher levels of body image dissatisfaction are associated with higher levels of depression and increased years of age among this sample.
520 $a Eating disorders have mainly been regarded as disorders of women of Western culture. They have often been labeled in the literature as the White middle to upper-middle class female phenomena (Root, 1990; le Grange, Stone, & Brownell, 1998).
520 $a Implications of these research findings for theory, research, and practice are discussed. In addition, recommendations for future research efforts are suggested.
520 $a The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between eating disordered behaviors and attitudes, body image dissatisfaction, depression, and socioeconomic status among African-American women.
520 $a Until recently, studies regarding eating disorders among ethnic minorities have been limited. This is likely a result of the assumption that eating disorders rarely occur among this population (Nasser, 1997). However, recent studies have indicated a presence of eating disorders and eating disordered behaviors among minority women, especially African-American women.
520 $a Despite recent research indicating an increase in eating disordered behaviors among African-American women, there is still a dearth of research on investigating the etiology and development of eating disorders and eating disordered behaviors among this population.
520 $a Participants were 124 African-American women from two urban areas along the east coast. Each participant completed a demographic information form and five measures that included the Eating Attitudes Test-26, the Eating Disorders Inventory-Body Dissatisfaction Scale, the Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. Information obtained from the demographic form was used to complete the fifth measure, the Hollingshead's Four Factor Index.
520 $a Results of the study indicated that as body image dissatisfaction increases, eating disordered behaviors and attitudes among African-American women also increase. Body image dissatisfaction was found to be predictive of eating disordered behaviors and attitudes among African-American women.
