“…Eating disorders are common on college campuses, especially among female students (Golden, 1986). Since both anorexia nervosa and bulimia are increasing in prevalence in the college population (Halmi et al 1981), it is necessary to have diagnostic instruments that identify women with eating disorders and those at risk to become anorexic or bulimic.…”

SynopsisEating Attitudes Test (EAT) scores of forty female college students were compared to their electrodermal activity (EDA) responses when offered a plate of chocolate chip cookies. A significant positive correlation was detected between the EAT scores and the skin conductivity measures associated with the presentation of food. Women with the highest EAT scores also exhibited the greatest sympathetic nervous system responses to a plate of cookies. This finding supports the conclusion that the EAT is capable of identifying individuals who are preoccupied with food or anxious about eating.

“…Talleyrand (2002) explored the relationship between perceived racism, racial identity development, and disordered eating in a sample of African American non-college women. Participants completed the Black Racial Identity Attitudes Scale (Helms, 1990), Schedule of Racist Events (Landrine & Klonoff, 1996), Compulsive Eating Questionnaire (Golden, Buzcek, & Robbins, 1986), Emotional Eating Scale (Arnow, Kenardy, & Agras, 1995), and Restraint Scale (Herman, 1978). Findings suggested that experiences with racism and strong identification with European American culture directly influence eating disorder symptomatology.…”

Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to weight management that encourages people to eat desired food in response to internal signals of hunger and satiety (Tribole & Resch, 1995; Tylka, 2006). Avalos and Tylka (2006) developed a model of intuitive eating based on the objectification theory (Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997) and theory of unconditional acceptance (Rogers, 1961; Rogers, 1964). Their model provided an adequate to excellent fit to data obtained from samples of young, mostly European American, college women and explained approximately 43% of variance in intuitive eating (Avalos & Tylka, 2006). The present study extended the work of Avalos and Tylka (2006) by exploring the model intuitive eating with a sample of African American college women. In addition, the present study extended the work of Avalos and Tylka (2006) by integrating culturally relevant variables (e.g., racial and ethnic identity) within the model to determine whether the addition of culturally relevant models accounted for additional variance in intuitive eating. Using path analysis procedures with a sample of 130 African American college women, the original model and culturally relevant alternative versions of the model provided an adequate to poor fit to the data. Although models provided an adequate to poor fit to the data, several of the proposed paths were upheld and the models accounted for a sizeable portion of the variance (e.g., approximately 35%). Results of the present study provide empirical support for several propositions underlying a model of intuitive eating (Avalos & Tylka, 2006) and previous iv research (Augustus-Horvath, 2008; Avalos & Tylka, 2006) that suggests several, but not all, model paths may extend and generalize to more diverse samples of women. v
