The perfectionism model of binge eating : idiographic and nomothetic tests of an integrative model

摘要: Perfectionism is implicated in the onset, course, and remission of disordered eating (Bastiani, Rao, Weltzin, & Kaye, 1995; Bruch, 1979; Cockell et al., 2002; Stice, Tozzi, 2005; Vohs, Bardone, Joiner, Abramson, 1999; references are contained Appendix F on p. 271). Building above research tradition, this dissertation proposed evaluated a model relating perfectionism to binge eating. This new termed Model Binge Eating (PMOBE). According PMOBE, confers vulnerability by generating encounters with magnifying responses specific triggers eating: namely, perceived discrepancies, low self-esteem, depressive affect, dietary restraint. A multi-site, 7-day, web-based structured daily diary study was conducted test PMOBE. Overall, 566 female university students participated, these individuals provided 3509 useable responses. data analytic strategy involving structural equation modeling multilevel generally supported For example, socially prescribed (i.e., perceiving that others demanding perfection oneself) through aforementioned demonstrated acceptable fit. Multilevel mediation also indicated influence self-oriented operated abovementioned (excepting restraint). Support for moderation limited, but suggested relationship between conditional upon is, my knowledge, first examine perfectionism-disordered connection using methodology. Thus, offered unique perspective apart from usual cross-sectional nomothetic pathology. In particular, that, their day-to-day lives, perfectionistic (especially perfectionists) inhabit world permeated putative Although appeared generate “exposure to” triggers, large, it did not seem magnify same (Bolger Zuckerman, 1995, 890). somewhat qualified version PMOBE thus supported, assuming greater importance than conferring environments with, to, triggers. contributed knowledge our understanding precipitants correlates highlighted idea may play an important part
