Abstract:
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a prevalent eating disorder outlined in the DSM-5. Emotional distress (including stress, anxiety, and depression) stands out as a critical risk factor for developing eating disorders, and specifically BED. Recent studies have identified differentiation of self- a family pattern involving the ability to balance emotions and cognitions, as well as intimacy and autonomy-as a factor that exacerbates emotional distress. This relationship highlights the importance of addressing both emotional distress and family dynamics in understanding BED. While associations have been found between work-related factors and family dynamics with emotional distress, there has been limited investigation into the specific risk factors that are uniquely linked to BED. It was hypothesized that differentiation of self would relate to BED symptoms through the mediation of emotional distress and work stress. A systematic sampling method was applied to select a total of 275 participants for this study, with 60% women and 40% men (aged 20-45, M = 32.71, SD = 7.50). The findings suggest that low differentiation of self may increase vulnerability to BED symptoms by increasing susceptibility to emotional distress, including stress in the workplace. In addition, the analyses indicated that women reported higher levels of BED symptoms, while men reported higher levels of differentiation of self. The study sheds light on the contribution of unregulated family and emotional patterns to BED, providing valuable insights for organizations seeking to promote healthier work environments.
摘要:
暴饮暴食障碍(BED)是DSM-5中概述的一种普遍的饮食障碍。情绪困扰(包括压力,焦虑,和抑郁症)是发展饮食失调的关键风险因素,特别是床。最近的研究已经确定了自我的分化-一个家庭模式,涉及平衡情绪和认知的能力,以及亲密和自主性——作为加剧情绪困扰的一个因素。这种关系强调了在理解BED中解决情绪困扰和家庭动态的重要性。虽然已经发现工作相关因素和家庭动态与情绪困扰之间存在关联,对与BED唯一相关的特定风险因素的调查有限.据推测,通过情绪困扰和工作压力的调解,自我分化将与BED症状有关。采用系统抽样的方法选择了总共275名参与者进行这项研究,女性占60%,男性占40%(年龄20-45岁,M=32.71,SD=7.50)。研究结果表明,自我的低分化可能会增加对情绪困扰的易感性,从而增加对BED症状的脆弱性。包括工作场所的压力。此外,分析表明,女性报告的床症状水平较高,而男性报告自我分化水平较高。这项研究揭示了不受调节的家庭和情感模式对BED的贡献,为寻求促进更健康工作环境的组织提供有价值的见解。
