Оқырман сұрағы: Таиландта анорексия да кездеседі ме?

Құрметті Уильям,

Even snel gekeken op het web en inderdaad, er is onderzoek naar gedaan! Ook in onze praktijk van New Counseling Service (www.ncs-counseling.com) hebben we regelmatig te maken met Thaise vrouwen met Anorexia. Wij verlenen psychologsiche hulp aan Thai zowel als aan buitenlanders.

Objective: To examine eating disorder attitudes and psychopathology among female university students in Australia and Thailand.

Method: Participants were 110 Caucasian Australians, 130 Asian Australians and 101 Thais in Thailand. The instruments included the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) and the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI).

Results: Eating disorder attitudes and psychopathology scores in the Thai group were found to be highest. The Asian Australian group did not have significantly higher scores on the EAT-26 than the Caucasian Australian group, but had higher scores in some subscales of the EDI-2. That the Thai group had the highest scores in susceptibility to developing an eating disorder and eating disorder psychopathology may be partially explained in sociocultural terms, with pressure to be thin more extreme in Thailand than in Australia. The evidence suggested that unhealthy eating disorder psychopathology is not limited to Western societies but is already present in Thai and other Asian societies.

Keywords:attitudes, EAT, eating disorders, EDI, ethnicity, psychopathology
