“…Table 1 displays the measures used to assess the concurrent, construct (convergent) validity of the EDE‐Q. The measures also underwent simultaneous psychometric evaluation in India (Garbett, Lewis‐Smith, Chaudhry, Uglik‐Marucha, et al, n.d.; Lewis‐Smith, Garbett, Chaudhry, Uglik‐Marucha, et al, n.d.), as per recommendations when there are few existing validated measures in a country (Swami & Barron, 2019). Therefore, the final items for these measures differ from the original scales.…”

“…Consequently, body dissatisfaction items relating to traditionally feminine appearance ideals (e.g., flat stomach) may be less relevant to boys (Darcy et al, 2012; Murray et al, 2017). Concurrent validity of the EDE‐Q was assessed via correlations of the total and subscale scores with two measures of body image (the Weight and Appearance subscales of the Body Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults [BESAA], Garbett, Lewis‐Smith, Chaudhry, Uglik‐Marucha, et al, n.d.; Mendelson, Mendelson, & White, 2001; and the Children's Figure Rating Scale [CFRS], Tiggemann & Wilson‐Barrett, 1998) and a measure of internalization of appearance ideals (Internalization‐General subscale of the Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire [SATAQ‐3], Lewis‐Smith, Garbett, Chaudhry, Uglik‐Marucha, et al, in press; Thompson, van den Berg, Roehrig, Guarda, & Heinberg, 2004). It was hypothesized that the total and subscale scores of the EDE‐Q would be negatively correlated with the total and subscales scores of the BESAA, and positively correlated with the CFRS and the Internalization‐General subscale of the SATAQ‐3.…”

Objective Eating pathology is a salient issue in India, with clinical features reported among adults and adolescents. However, there are currently no validated measures of disordered eating in the Indian context. The present study therefore aimed to validate a culturally appropriate English language version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE‐Q), a widely used measure, among adolescents in India. Method We adapted and examined the factor structure, reliability, and construct validity of the EDE‐Q among an urban sample of 1,413 Indian adolescents (mean age = 13 years; 45% girls). Results In contrast to the original four‐factor model, exploratory factor analysis identified a two‐factor solution for girls and boys, which was verified by confirmatory factor analysis; a “Preoccupation and Control” subscale and a “Weight and Shape Concerns” subscale. The total scale comprised 15 items for girls and 18 items for boys. Test–retest reliability and internal consistency were satisfactory for the girls' and boys' scales (Cronbach's α = .91 for both) and their comprising subscales (αs ≥ .80). Concurrent validity was established through medium‐high significant correlations with measures of body image and internalization of appearance ideals. Combining items common to both versions of the scale led to a psychometrically acceptable model which was largely invariant across both genders, thus facilitating gendered comparison. Discussion Findings indicate the reliability and validity of the EDE‐Q among English‐speaking urban Indian adolescents. This will facilitate further research examining the prevalence and nature of eating pathology among adolescents in India.

“…Some work suggests that media consumption in SSEA countries, especially Bollywood films, is associated with similar patterns of body dissatisfaction as in White counterparts ( Nagar and Virk, 2017 ). Importantly, the SATAQ-IG, as used in the present study, has been found to similarly index body comparisons to media consumption in SSEA media markets ( Lewis-Smith et al, 2021 ). An advantage of the SATAQ-IG scale (specifically within the SATAQ-3) is that it does not denote which appearance ideal (e.g., weight, skin tone, hair color, etc.)…”

“…An advantage of the SATAQ-IG scale (specifically within the SATAQ-3) is that it does not denote which appearance ideal (e.g., weight, skin tone, hair color, etc.) one has internalized and, therefore, captures internalization more broadly than other instruments ( Warren et al, 2013 ; Lewis-Smith et al, 2021 ). On the other hand, this broad measure does not allow for a closer analysis of media type consumed and whether, or how, it may be associated with internalization.…”

Internalization of Appearance Ideals and Not Religiosity Indirectly Impacts the Relationship Between Acculturation and Disordered Eating Risk in South and Southeast Asian Women Living in the United States

ObjectiveStudies that examine disordered eating in samples of Asian individuals living in the United States frequently combine all individuals of Asian descent into a single group, which can obscure important differences between groups and their experiences of acculturation. The goal of the present study was to establish the relation of acculturation, internalization of appearance ideals, and religiosity as predicting body dissatisfaction and disordered eating in women of South and Southeast Asian (SSEA) descent.MethodWomen of SSEA descent (N = 112) aged 18–51 years (M = 23.10, SD = 6.4) completed a battery of questionnaires that inquire about these variables. A path analysis was conducted with acculturation serving as the independent (exogenous) variable, religiosity and internalization of the thin ideal as mediators, and body dissatisfaction and disordered eating as dependent (endogenous) variables.ResultsDirect paths from acculturation to both body dissatisfaction and disordered eating were not significant. Thin ideal internalization completely accounted for the path from acculturation to both endogenous variables; whereas, religiosity did not significantly account for any indirect effect.DiscussionFor SSEA women, internalization of appearance ideals is a potentially greater risk factor for disordered eating than acculturation or religiosity. As this was an atemporal mediation analysis, more work needs to be done exploring predictors of internalization in this population and how that may impact the development of disordered eating.

Obesity is a well-recognized risk factor for adolescent depressive symptoms, but mediating mechanisms of this association have scarcely been studied. This study is unique in examining an indirect pathway of this link via body esteem (BE) prospectively from childhood (8–12 years) to adolescence (13–18 years). In addition, potential gender moderation was examined. This study utilized data from a case–control study comparing 100 children with and without obesity matched on important confounders (age, gender, and socioeconomic status). Our findings provide support for the mediating role of BE in the link between childhood weight status and adolescent depressive symptoms at a 5-year follow-up. This mediation effect did not differ between boys and girls. The findings suggest the relevance of specifically targeting children’s BE in preventive intervention programs among children with obesity to prevent future mental health problems.
