“…Despite significant uniformity in appearance ideals, some cross-cultural differences exist [43,44]. In developing countries, both in Europe and Asia, e.g., Poland and Vietnam, the pursuit of thinness is especially significant [17,18,33,[45][46][47][48]. A literature review has confirmed the importance of socio-cultural influences in terms of body image standards promoted by the media on the development of restrictive and/or bulimic eating behaviors [32,[49][50][51][52][53][54].…”

The aim of this paper is to identify psychological factors which are culture specific or common predictors for restrictive and bulimic behaviors towards eating for young women raised in different cultures. The study included 661 young women from Poland (n = 233) and Vietnam (n = 428). Subjects filled-in the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI-3) and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire-Appearance Scales (MBSRQ-AS), and body measurements were collected to calculate anthropometric indices. Women form Vietnam were less satisfied with their appearance than were their Polish peers, but Vietnamese showed a lower level of preoccupation with being overweight and fear of obesity. Intercultural differences indicate that Vietnamese women show greater intensities for psychological variables, connected with restrictive and bulimic eating behaviors, verified in the research model: low self-esteem, personal alienation, interpersonal insecurity, interpersonal alienation, emotional dysregulation, interoceptive deficits, perfectionism and asceticism, and anxiety.
