The relationship between adolescent girls' eating-disordered behaviors and communication with their parents was investigated in a prospective study over a four-year time period using Latent Growth Modeling (LGM) analysis. The sample consisted of 109 adolescent girls varying in the extent of disordered eating behaviors and attitudes and their parents, drawn from a suburban Minnesotan school district. Assessment instruments completed by the adolescents included the Eating Disorder Risk Inventory (EDRI) and the adolescent form of the Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale (PAC). Their parents completed the parent form of the PAC. Two kinds of results were noteworthy. First, a linear model with heterogeneous measurement errors was the best fit for the EDRI and all PAC scores except for the adolescent form of the communication with their mothers (ACOMM), of which the best-fitting model was the quadratic with homogeneous measurement errors. Second, the multivariate analyses showed that the intercepts of EDRI and each of the PAC scores were significantly and negatively associated, suggesting that girls with high EDRI scores the first year were likely to have low communication scores with their parents at the same time period, from the perspectives of both the girls and their parents. The slopes of the EDRI and ACOMM were significantly and negatively related, showing that over the years, girls with increasingly disordered eating were likely to indicate a decrease in the perceived quality of communication with their mothers. The intercept of the EDRI scores was significantly and positively related to the slope of the adolescent communication with their fathers (ACOMF), indicating that girls who had high eating disorder symptoms the first year tended to perceive increased positive communication with their fathers at later years, and vice versa. There were no significant relationships among latent factors between the EDRI and the parent form of the PAC scores. Based on these results, it is concluded that adolescent girls' disordered eating is significantly associated with a change in perceived communication with their mothers and fathers, but this relationship is significant only in the perception of the girls, and not in the perception of their mothers and fathers.
