Acculturation, Body Image, Self-Esteem, and Eating-Disorder Symptomatology in Adolescent Mexican American Women.
Joiner, Greg W.; Kashubeck, Susan
Psychology of Women Quarterly, v20 n3 p419-35 Sep 1996
Investigated the relationship among acculturation, body image, self-esteem, and eating disorder symptomatology in 120 Mexican-American adolescent women. Findings indicate that acculturation levels were not related to anorexic or bulimic symptomatology, self-esteem, body dissatisfaction or thinness of ideal and attractive figures. Also, lower levels of self-esteem predicted higher levels of anorexic and bulimic symptomatology. (GR)
