Weight-related Teasing, Dysfunctional Cognitions, and Symptoms of Depression and Eating Disturbances

Abstract

Although there is evidence that verbal victimization in childhood may be a nonspecific risk factor for a variety of disorders, there may be mediational pathways that are specific to each disorder. In this study, we hypothesized that disorder-specific cognitions would mediate the relation between reports of childhood verbal victimization and undergraduates’ current symptoms of depression and eating disorders. In addition, we hypothesized that a specific type of verbal victimization, weight-related teasing, would be more strongly related to the presence of dysfunctional eating cognitions than depressive cognitions. Both hypotheses were supported, providing preliminary evidence for the hypothesized disorder-specific mediational pathways.

Although the chi-square was significant, this is not uncommon for well-fitting models with large sample sizes (Kline, 2005).

The hypothesized mediation models were also tested with the undereating variables (EDI-2: Drive For Thinness and DEBQ: Restrained Eating) comprising the Disordered Eating Symptoms construct. The results of these analyses were virtually identical to the results presented in the paper.
