![]() ![]() These cultural factors need to be addressed when treating disordered eating among Asian/Asian America women.Ĭontrary to the previously held assumption that disordered eating is a White female phenomenon, disordered eating is as prevalent, if not more, in females with Asian heritage as it is in European Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities ( Cummins, Simmons, & Zane, 2005 Franko, Becker, Thomas, & Herzog, 2007 Shaw, Ramirez, Trost, Randall, & Stice, 2004). The Asian value of conformity to norms was directly associated with restricted eating. ![]() Structural equation modeling analysis results indicated that the Asian value of honoring family through achievement and intergenerational family conflict were indirectly associated with both binge eating and restricted eating via thwarted psychological needs, but not via anxious parental attachment. Two-hundred forty-four Asian and Asian American women participated in an online survey. Psychological needs thwarting and anxious parental attachment were the indirect psychological factors through which the cultural factors predicted disordered eating. Asian values of honoring family through achievement and conformity to norms, and intergenerational family conflict due to acculturation gap were the cultural predictors. I tested a path model that integrated cultural and psychological factors as predictors of disordered eating among Asian and Asian American college women.
