Perceived control, religious belief, and the eating disorders.

Perceived control, religious belief, and the eating disorders. - 138 p.

Director: Jerome L. Short.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--George Mason University, 2002.

This study examined the relationships between perceptions of control (God-mediated control, exaggerated internal control, and external control; and self-efficacy over eating behavior), religious belief and participation, and eating disorder symptoms. Stice and associates (1994, 1996, 1997, 1998) proposed a model of eating disorder onset in which negative affect and dietary restraint precede the onset of bulimic symptoms. By adding additional predictor variables (religiosity and perceived control), the current study tested a more comprehensive model of how the risk and protective factors influence eating disorder and psychological symptoms. The participants included 127 female students at George Mason University who reported dieting during the past year. The students received course credit for their participation. The study participants completed a packet of self-report confidential questionnaires regarding demographic variables, eating behavior, religious belief and practice, perceived control, general psychiatric symptoms, and questions related to body image. The study used a within-group, correlational design to investigate the relationship between the predictor variables and the outcome variables. Eating disorder symptoms and general psychiatric symptoms were the dependent (outcome) variables, while the control and religiosity variables were the independent (predictor) variables. It was hypothesized that participants who reported a more internal locus of control, and stronger religiosity and more religious participation, would endorse fewer eating disorder symptoms and general psychiatric symptoms. It was also hypothesized that the addition of the current study variables to the Stice et al. Dual-Pathway Model would explain more variance in eating disorder symptoms. The findings indicated that most of the religiosity variables (intrinsic religious orientation, strength of faith, God-Mediated control, and total time spent in religious activities) are negatively correlated with eating disorder symptoms. Likewise, the control variables (general external control, exaggerated internal control, eating self-efficacy, and time spent dieting) are negatively correlated with eating disorder symptoms. In the hierarchical regression model, the Stice et al. Dual-Pathway Model variables (negative affect, perceived socio-cultural pressure, ideal body internalization, body dissatisfaction, and dietary restraint) accounted for significant variance in eating disorder symptoms. The addition of three control variables (general external control, exaggerated internal control, and time spent dieting) accounted for small but statistically significant incremental variance in eating disorder symptoms. The results supported the robustness of the Stice et al. Dual-Pathway Model, as well as suggesting that control and religiosity factors be considered in future research, and in the prevention and treatment of eating disorders.
