“…There were also no differences between Polish and Vietnamese women in terms of the intensification of restrictive behaviors and the pursuit of thinness. These results have been confirmed by other studies describing the importance of body dissatisfaction for the development of typical behaviors in eating disorders, such as in the Swedish studies by Forsén Mantilla and Birgegard [74], the Polish studies by Izydorczyk et al [32,75], and the Brazilian studies by de Carvalho, Alvarenga and Ferreira [49]. On the other hand, Rodgers and Melioli [51], in a review of 67 studies (emphasizing the important role of social media (i.e., the internet) and not taking into account psychological factors in these studies), indicated a significant relationship between the body image and behaviors related to the development of eating disorders in many countries in Europe, America, Australia, and Asia.…”

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.

“…For example, Sanchez-Ruiz ( 39 ) studied the direct and indirect impact of sociocultural variables and mass media on the eating behavior of young adults (143 women and 101 men, aged 18–31 years), and the results confirmed that mass media pressure was an important predictor of this behavior. In another study ( 34 ), 514 Polish men and women were studied, and the results show that the pressure to conform to sociocultural body image and physical appearance standards had the most profound and direct influence on the development of restrictive eating behavior, appearing to negatively affect women's body image. Information searches on body image in mass media had the strongest and most direct impact on the development of bulimic eating behavior in/among women.…”

A more holistic approach to treatment and prevention focuses on identifying the multiple risk and protective factors for eating disorders. However, there is a lack of research verifying the nature of the relationship between patterns of bonding with parents, sociocultural attitudes toward appearance, body image, and their role in developing or preventing eating disorders. The main aim of the study was to verify whether there is a specific set of risk or/vs. protective factors/measures for behaviors and dispositions related to the development of eating disorders. The study group consisted of 134 young Polish females (M = 14.92; SD = 1.349), with an average body mass index. The variables were measured using the Parental Bonding Instrument, the Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire-3, The Multidimensional Body–Self Relations Questionnaire, and the Eating Disorder Inventory 3. Stepwise regression analysis was applied. Statistical analysis showed that bonding with parents (including maternal overprotection), body image (including overweight pre-occupation, fitness evaluation, health orientation, and self-classified weight), and sociocultural attitudes toward appearance (such as searching for information, pressures, and internalization) are predictors of eating disorder risks. On the other hand, maternal and paternal care (aspects of patterns of bonding with parents), positive fitness evaluation, positive appearance evaluation, and satisfaction with one's body were found to be the most significant protective factors. The results may improve prevention and intervention aimed at increasing protective factors.

“…Após a aplicação de testes de atitudes alimentares (EAT-26) foram encontrados os seguintes resultados: desejo de corpo magro, menor nível de autoestima, maior número de contas em mídias sociais e maior importância dada às redes sociais. Esses resultados obtidos confirmam uma cobrança sobre as mulheres, sobretudo as mais jovens, que são ensinadas a manter um ideal de beleza muitas vezes inalcançável (Madureira, 2018) Segundo Izydorczyk et al (2020) a mídia influencia majoritariamente as mulheres mais jovens, sobretudo no final da adolescência. A variável mais significativa é a busca pela magreza em meninas com idade entre 12 e 15 anos e 21 e 29 anos seguida da insatisfação corporal que ocorre predominantemente entre os 12 a 15 anos.…”

“…Pela internet são escolhidos modelos e atitudes necessárias para se chegar ao sucesso e, ao mesmo tempo, quem não se identifica com esses modelos, automaticamente está fora do padrão estabelecido, logo, se tornando mais propenso a insatisfação corporal. A rejeição das singularidades causa um sofrimento psíquico e consequências extremas que podem refletir no comportamento alimentar (Izydorczyk, Sitnik-Warchulska, Lizińczyk, & Lipowska, 2020). Desta forma, o ato de comer deixa de ser influenciado apenas pelo âmbito social e ganha um novo integrante que é a normatização do belo propagado nas mídias (Vianna & Novaes, 2019).…”

“…O distanciamento entre os padrões sociais e os corpos naturais propaga a incessante busca pelo corpo exibido nas mídias de massa, seja uma imagem corporal magra para as mulheres, seja corpos musculosos para homens (Pilgrim & Bohnet-Joschko, 2019) A relação entre a insatisfação corporal promovida e os transtornos alimentares vem da obsessão pela imagem e pelo peso que são refletidos em restrição alimentar, muitas vezes severa para manutenção de um corpo magro. Além disso, pode ocorrer atitudes purgativas, seja através do uso de medicamentos que provocam vômitos, seja pelo uso de laxantes, tudo isso visando o emagrecimento (Izydorczyk et al, 2020).…”

O mundo virtual é uma realidade dos adolescentes em todo o mundo. Consequência disso, é um meio em que pode ser um facilitador de sintomas de transtornos alimentares. Os distúrbios da alimentação ocorrem por alterações psíquicas e comportamentais e afetam a saúde, principalmente em indivíduos jovens. O objetivo da revisão sistemática é compreender quanto as mídias de massa interferem nos distúrbios alimentares. Foram encontrados 27 artigos nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e SciELo nos últimos 10 anos após critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Os resultados obtidos foram a prevalência dos transtornos alimentares em adolescentes do sexo feminino, em segundo lugar, a persuasão e subversão das mídias de massa sobre um público sem um poder de criticidade. E também, reflexos desses distúrbios na insatisfação corporal e baixa autoestima advindos dos corpos utópicos sustentados pela sociedade e veiculados pela internet. A dinâmica encontrada é a socialização dos jovens no contexto de criação de corpos perfeitos e modelos ideais, sobretudo em mulheres adolescentes, que sofrem a pressão do patriarcado. Com isso, os sofrimentos psíquicos se expandem para a insatisfação corporal e por fim, as estratégias de comunicação e marketing atuam ativamente sobre essa vulnerabilidade desse grupo social. Assim, analisou-se que as redes sociais ampliam a propagação de transtornos alimentares com isso, é necessária uma regulamentação do uso das redes sociais e educação midiática para que a criticidade seja estimulada nos jovens juntamente com apoio psicológico.
