The purpose of this investigation was to examine whether African-American women who exhibit high body dissatisfaction were more assimilated to European-American culture and exhibited more sociocultural risk factors (drawn from the eating disorders literature) than African-American women who exhibit low body dissatisfaction. The participants were 34 African-American women between the ages of 18 and 40 years old who were from the eastern coast of the United States, southern California, and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (EDI-2), Racial Identity Attitude Scale Form B (RIAS-B), and the Personal Interpersonal Cultural Interview (PIC) were administered to all participants. Frequencies, means, standard deviations, Chi-squares, Mann-Whitney U, and <italic> t</italic>-tests were used to analyze the data. The participants were divided into two groups based on their scores on the Body Dissatisfaction subscale of the EDI-2. The groups were also compared on the RIAS-B and PIC. None of the participants obtained scores which met the DSM-IV criteria of an Eating Disorder. The groups did not significantly differ on their levels of ethnic identity, the majority of the participants were at either the Immersion-Emersion or Internalization stages of racial identity development. Negative self evaluation of body weight, beauty and intelligence; teasing by family members and people in the neighborhood; adolescent pregnancy; involvement of both biological parents in child raising; presence of European-American child caregivers; family pressure to attend college; privacy concerns; and weight reduction history and patterns were all found to significantly differentiate between high and low body dissatisfaction groups. Significant findings were discussed. Items not found to differentiate between the groups were used to describe the normative experience of African-American women.
