Background

An interesting debate in the literature is about the role of race/ethnicity not only as a risk factor for eating disorders (EDs), but also as a moderator of the relations between other risk factors and ED symptoms. The following research question was explored: Does race/ethnicity moderate the relations between the implicit belief that high-fat food is shameful and ED symptoms?

Methods

About 15,000 (N = 14,964) volunteers (67.7% White, 7.7% Asian, 7.4% Hispanic, 6.9% Black) completed the Implicit Association Test (IAT) measuring the implicit associations between high-fat (vs. low-fat) food and shameful (vs. acceptable) on the Project Implicit mental-health website (https://implicit.harvard.edu) between 2011 and 2017. ED symptoms and demographics were measured via self-report.

Results

Race/ethnicity moderated (beta = 0.087, p = .002) the relations between IAT and ED symptoms, adjusting for BMI, age, sex, education, such that the IAT was related to ED symptoms among Whites (r = 0.113, p < .001), Hispanics (r = 0.086, p = .004), and Asians (r = 0.097, p = .001), but not Blacks (r = 0.056, p = .071).

Discussion

Although the effect size was small, findings imply that some ED risk factors may vary among racial/ethnic groups. Future studies should use prospective designs to examine whether implicit biases actually represent a risk factor for ED symptoms and whether this varies by race/ethnicity.

高脂食品与羞耻的内在联系及其与饮食失调症状的联系:种族/民族的调节作用

背景

文献中有趣的辩论是关于种族/民族的作用,不仅作为饮食失调(ED)的危险因素,而且还作为其他危险因素与ED症状之间关系的调节者。探索了以下研究问题:种族/民族是否缓和了高脂食品可耻的内在信念与ED症状之间的关系?

方法

约15,000名(N = 14,964)志愿者(67.7%的白人,7.7%的亚洲人,7.4%的西班牙裔,6.9%的黑人)完成了内隐联想测验(IAT),以测量高脂(相对于低脂)食物与高脂食物之间的隐含联想。在2011年至2017年之间在Project Implicit心理健康网站(https://implicit.harvard.edu)上感到可耻(相对于可接受)。ED症状和人口统计学是通过自我报告来衡量的。

结果

种族/民族缓和了IAT与ED症状之间的关系(β= 0.087,p = .002),并针对BMI,年龄,性别,教育程度进行了调整,以使IAT与白人中的ED症状相关(r  = 0.113,p  < .001),西班牙裔(r  = 0.086,p  = .004)和亚洲人(r  = 0.097,p  = .001),但不是黑人(r  = 0.056,p  = .071)。

讨论

尽管影响大小很小,但研究结果表明,某些种族/族裔人群患ED的危险因素可能有所不同。未来的研究应使用前瞻性设计来检查隐性偏倚是否实际上代表了ED症状的危险因素,以及这是否因种族/民族而有所不同。
