The extant literature suggests that peer victimization is a risk factor for eating disorders. This study examined the relationships between peer victimization, occurring prior to and during college and three types of eating disorder symptoms (bulimic symptoms, dietary restraint, and drive for muscularity) in undergraduate men and women. Participants completed self-report measures using an online system at two time points approximately eight weeks apart. Multiple hierarchical regression analyses revealed that pre-college peer victimization was associated with higher levels of drive for muscularity and bulimic symptoms. Peer victimization occurring during college predicted increases in all three types of subsequent eating disorder symptoms. Finally, bulimic symptoms, but not dietary restraint or drive for muscularity predicted increases in future peer victimization. The findings expand the understanding of the bidirectional relationship between peer victimization and eating disorder symptoms among college m...

大学生的同伴受害和饮食失调症状

现有文献表明，同伴受害是饮食失调的危险因素。这项研究检查了大学前和大学期间同伴受害与大学男女之间三种饮食失调症状（暴食症状，饮食约束和肌肉运动）之间的关系。参与者在大约八个星期的两个时间点使用在线系统完成了自我报告措施。多元层次回归分析显示，大学前同伴受害与肌肉和暴食症状的较高驱动力有关。在大学期间发生的同伴受害预计会导致随后的三种进食障碍症状的增加。最后是脓毒症症状 但饮食限制或肌肉发达的驱动力并不能预测未来的同伴受害会增加。这些发现扩大了对同龄人受害与进食障碍症状之间双向关系的理解。
