Resumen
FRANCO PAREDES, KARINA et al. Perfectionism in body dissatisfaction, sociocultural influence of the thinness model and symptoms of eating disorders. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.3, pp.829-840. ISSN 1657-9267.
The purpose of this study was to assess if perfectionism components explained body dissatisfaction (BD), sociocultural influences of aesthetic model (SIAM) and symptoms of eating disorders (ED). The sample comprised 30 women with Bulimia Nervosa (BN), 35 women with Eating Disorder not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) and 63 women without ED. A regression analysis showed that concern over mistakes (CM) and doubt about actions explained BD and SIAM in the BN sample; while concern over mistakes only explained SIAM in the EDNOS sample. These findings evidence that two perfectionism components contribute to vulnerability of thinness ideal and BD among women, which constitute two important risk factors for ED.
