“…Stronger identification with the female identity also was shown to correlate with DE, although not independently from perceived perfection pressure from women (fSPP) and urgency. These findings extend on previous studies showing that strength of identification (in‐group affect) with the female identity may relate to DE (Hesse‐Biber et al ., ), and adds to the clinical literature on the relationship between impulsivity, perfectionism, and DE (Pavey & Churchill, ).…”

“…While early studies suggested that self-control (and its facets) was a personality trait, more large scale investigations have suggested that self-control is far more context sensitive than initially believed (Hagger, Chatzisarantis, Alberts et al, 2016;Lurquin, Michaelson, Barker et al, 2016). Impulsive eating especially appears to be a specific response to context (Haynes, Kemps & Moffitt, 2016a, 2016bPavey & Churchill, 2017). For example, one study showed that when participants who scored lower on self-control scales believed that their peers had a norm of eating less, they were better able to resist the temptation of sugary pastries (Robinson et al, 2016).…”

Socially prescribed perfectionism (SPP) is often considered as a key risk factor for disordered eating (DE). However, current conceptualizations of SPP largely assume that this perfectionism pressure is non‐specific (i.e., a global pressure), despite research indicating that for females experiencing DE, female‐dominated groups impose this pressure (as a perceived norm). Furthermore, this relationship may be mediated by a negative reaction to this pressure, in the form of impulsivity (or negative urgency). To date, no research has investigated whether the relationship between SPP and DE is mediated by negative urgency, nor has there been research clarifying how in‐group identification relates to DE, independent of SPP and negative urgency. To address these gaps, we assessed these variables in 147 female dieters (Mage = 25.12 years, SD = 3.08) using a cross‐sectional design. Consistent with our hypotheses, negative urgency fully mediated the link between female‐based SPP and disordered eating, while female‐based in‐group affect (identification) was predictive of disordered eating (although the latter relationship was not sustained in a multiple regression model). These findings suggest that the SPP from other women may relate to DE through increasing negative urgency, and that the link between in‐group (female) affect and DE may be better explained by SPP's link to DE.

“…Affiliating oneself with the female identity also was shown to correlate with DE, although not independently from perfectionism and urgency. These findings extend on previous studies showing that strength of identification (in-group affect) with the female identity may relate to DE (Hesse-Biber et al, 2006), and adds to the clinical literature on the relationship between impulsivity, perfectionism, and DE (Pavey & Churchill, 2017). We also believe that understanding how perfectionism pressure relates to impulsivity may lead to better clinical outcomes for reducing DE.…”

A Social Clinical Perspective on Perfectionism in Disordered Eating Behaviour

All over Australia, disordered eating rates are increasing. Decades of research have indicated that perfectionism is a key risk factor for disordered eating behaviour. While there remains some debate about the specific facets of perfectionism, there is general agreement that perfectionism can be delineated based on the perceived source: self-oriented perfectionism (i.e., “I must be perfect”) and socially prescribed perfectionism (i.e., “They require me to be perfect”). Conceptually, this overlaps with social psychology. Specifically, this mirrors traditional social identity approaches of how individuals integrate personal identity content with social identity content. However, to date no research has used a social psychological approach to understand how perfectionism comes about, how it may lead to disordered eating behaviour, and thereby imply how social psychology could aid in therapeutic approaches to reduce perfectionism. In this thesis, I argue that self-oriented perfectionism and socially prescribed perfectionism are analogous to personal identity content and social identity content. Across five papers, I present evidence for this social identity approach to perfectionism in disordered eating. Firstly, I present the Consolidated Perfectionism Model to explain how self-oriented perfectionism and socially prescribed perfectionism can be considered from a social identity perspective, integrating cross cultural, clinical, and sociocultural perspectives on perfectionism in disordered eating. Secondly, I present qualitative evidence suggesting that self-oriented perfectionism is absorbed through intrapersonal factors, and socially prescribed perfectionism is in fact a self-control norm transmitted through “fat talk.” Third, through two correlational studies, we find that perfectionism pressure does appear to relate to thin ideal beliefs, but in another study, low self-control was related to disordered eating above body dissatisfaction. Fourthly, I present data that suggests socially prescribed perfectionism relates to disordered eating through negative urgency (a facet of self-control), indicating that disordered eating behaviour is driven by a negative reaction to socially prescribed perfectionism norms present within the immediate social environment. Fifth and finally, I present evidence that we can reduce socially prescribed perfectionism by manipulating the context of health messages to counter perfectionism. We conclude by discussing how this new perspective can add to therapies designed to reduce perfectionism. This thesis adds to social psychological theory by further presenting evidence that the social identity approach has utility in changing toxic group-based beliefs. However, it also has implications for clinical psychology, by presenting evidence that the use of explicit social psychological frameworks may add to traditional clinicalapproaches. Overall, this thesis presents strong evidence for the use of social psychology approaches to clinical disorders, especially in disordered eating.

“…Overweight and obesity are a serious burden on both the individual and society, endangering health and increasing the risk of mortality, which has reached epidemic proportions in developed countries and affects around 46% of the world's population over the age of 19 (1). According to the results of the 2014 Hungarian Diet and Nutritional Status Survey, almost two-thirds of adults are overweight and 28.2% of men and 31.5% of women are obese (2).…”

Background: Obesity is a significant risk factor for mental health. Depression and obesity appear to have a bi-directional relationship in which a number of mediating factors may play a role, such as body dissatisfaction. Unrealistic messages related to image may contribute to depression in individuals with excess weight through body image dissatisfaction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of appearance-related sociocultural attitudes in the development of two common comorbid psychological characteristics of obesity, namely, body image dissatisfaction and depression. Methods: The sample of the cross-sectional survey consisted of participants in an inpatient weight loss treatment (n = 339, 19% men). The mean age was 50.2 (SD = 13.47) years, the mean BMI was 38.6 (SD = 7.58) kg/m2. Measures: self-reported anthropometric data, Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3, Body Shape Questionnaire – Short form 14, CES-D Depression Scale. Results: Results of path analysis revealed many weak but significant indirect paths between appearance-related sociocultural attitudes and depression through body image dissatisfaction (χ2 = 688.23, df = 35, p < .001; CFI = .995; TLI = .973; RMSEA = .039, 90% CI: .00 – .08; SRMR = .013). The model explains 31.8% of the variance of body dissatisfaction and 23.3% of the variance of depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Assessing the extent and causes of body image dissatisfaction and depression, and striving to reduce them can be a valuable addition of weight loss programs.
