College Students’ Attitudes Towards Disordered Eating and Binge Drinking Relationships
Author: Nicole Libbey
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 21
Book Description
The typical college experience encourages regular alcohol consumption and the pursuit of unattainable beauty standards. As such, college students are skipping meals before drinking with the intentions of avoiding weight gain or increasing the onset of their intoxication. Defined as ‘drunkorexia’ in 2012 by Barry & Piazza-Gardner, the present study measured the frequency of this behavior as well as acceptability of each motive in college populations. The survey was distributed through a social psychology research website and the University research pool, yielding a sample of 462. The sample had a mean age of 20.23, was 68% female, and 60% white. Participants read one of two gender-matched vignettes which described a college student skipping a meal before drinking either to (a) avoid gaining weight (WGA) or (b) increase their intoxication level (II). Acceptability was measured using a10-item semantic differential scale of adjectives describing the target and engagement was assessed using the Drunkorexia Motives and Behavior Scale (Ward & Galante, 2016). We hypothesized that females would be more accepting of the WGA motive and males would be more accepting of the II motive. Contrary to our hypothesis, females were less accepting of drunkorexia than males for either motive. Moreover, the WGA motive was rated more negatively than the II motive by both genders. Being at risk for an eating disorder impacted drunkorexia engagement more than being at risk for an alcohol use disorder. Moreover, those at risk for an eating disorder were more accepting of drunkorexia engagement than those not at risk. Lastly, individuals rating the vignettes the most negatively were also found to have the highest engagement in the behavior, yielding the need for continued research into the consequences of drunkorexia and its perceived acceptability.

Attitudes Toward Eating Disorders and the Role of Body Dissatisfaction in College Women
Author: Katherine A. Daniels
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Anorexia nervosa
Languages : en
Pages : 51
Book Description
Few studies have examined stigma towards people with eating disorders. What research has been done indicates that stigma towards those with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa may be different than stigma of severe mental illnesses, though the nature of this stigma is not clear. Research also indicates that attitudes may be different depending on the type of the eating disorder. In the current study, body dissatisfaction was predicted to be a contributing variable in the formation attitudes towards those with anorexia and bulimia. Results indicate that body dissatisfaction does not play as important role in attitudes towards those with anorexia and bulimia as predicted. However, this study was unique in that video clips of women describing their symptoms were used, as opposed to written vignettes, and this may have influenced the direction of the results.
