ABSTRACT

Grounded in an intersectional framework, the present study investigated the extent to which racism, gendered racism, and conformity to masculine norms are associated with Asian American men’s muscularity-oriented disordered eating. The study also examined if ethnic identity moderated the association between both forms of racism and muscularity-oriented disordered eating. 220 Asian American men completed an online cross-sectional survey that contained the study questionnaires. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to examine the associations between our predictor variables and muscularity-oriented disordered eating. Gendered racism, conformity to the masculine norms of playboy, heterosexual presentation and self-reliance were positively associated with muscularity-oriented disordered eating, whereas conformity to power over women was negatively associated. Racism and the remaining masculine norms were not associated with muscularity-oriented disordered eating. Ethnic identity did not moderate the association between either form of racism and muscularity-oriented disordered eating. Given that gendered racism was positively associated with muscularity-oriented disordered eating whereas racism was not, researchers and practitioners may consider prioritizing intersectionality in their understanding of Asian American men’s eating pathology. Results emphasize the importance of examining both race and gender in conceptualizing Asian American men’s muscularity-oriented disordered eating.

摘要

本研究以交叉框架为基础，调查了种族主义、性别种族主义和遵守男性规范与亚裔美国男性肌肉发达的饮食失调的关联程度。该研究还检查了种族认同是否会调节两种形式的种族主义和肌肉发达的饮食失调之间的关联。220 名亚裔美国男性完成了包含研究问卷的在线横断面调查。进行分层回归分析以检查我们的预测变量与肌肉导向的饮食失调之间的关联。性别种族主义、遵守花花公子的男性规范、异性恋表现和自力更生与肌肉发达的饮食失调呈正相关，而服从对女性的权力则呈负相关。种族主义和剩余的男性规范与肌肉导向的饮食失调无关。种族认同并没有缓和任何一种形式的种族主义和肌肉发达的饮食失调之间的关联。鉴于性别种族主义与以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调呈正相关，而种族主义则不然，研究人员和从业者可能会考虑在他们对亚裔美国男性饮食病理学的理解中优先考虑交叉性。结果强调了在概念化亚裔美国男性以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调时检查种族和性别的重要性。种族认同并没有缓和任何一种形式的种族主义和肌肉发达的饮食失调之间的关联。鉴于性别种族主义与以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调呈正相关，而种族主义则不然，研究人员和从业者可能会考虑在他们对亚裔美国男性饮食病理学的理解中优先考虑交叉性。结果强调了在概念化亚裔美国男性以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调时检查种族和性别的重要性。种族认同并没有缓和任何一种形式的种族主义和肌肉发达的饮食失调之间的关联。鉴于性别种族主义与以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调呈正相关，而种族主义则不然，研究人员和从业者可能会考虑在他们对亚裔美国男性饮食病理学的理解中优先考虑交叉性。结果强调了在概念化亚裔美国男性以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调时检查种族和性别的重要性。研究人员和从业者可能会考虑在他们对亚裔美国男性饮食病理学的理解中优先考虑交叉性。结果强调了在概念化亚裔美国男性以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调时检查种族和性别的重要性。研究人员和从业者可能会考虑在他们对亚裔美国男性饮食病理学的理解中优先考虑交叉性。结果强调了在概念化亚裔美国男性以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调时检查种族和性别的重要性。
