Features of self-attitude and intra-family relationships of girls at risk of developing eating disorders

The features of self-attitude and intra-family relationships of girls with a high risk of developing eating disorders (ED) were studied. In total, 60 17-18-year-old girls took part in the study, 30 of them with a high risk of developing eating disorders (M = 17,8; SD = 0,41), 30 with a low risk of developing eating disorders (M = 17,97; SD = 0,18). During the study, the following methods were used: socio-demographic questionnaire, «Test of food installations (EAT-26)» (adapted by Meshkova T. A., Mitina O. V., 2023), methodology «Scale of assessment of eating behavior» (O. A. Skugarevsky et al., 2011), «Methodology of self-attitude research» (Pantileev S. R., Stolin V. V.), Questionnaire «Analysis of family anxiety» (E. G. Eidemiller, V. Justitskis), questionnaire «Teenagers about parents» (adapted by L. I. Wasserman, I. A. Gorkovaya et al.). It was found that girls at high risk of developing ED are characterized by lower indicators of «self-worth», «selfacceptance», «self-attachment», «openness», «reflected self-attitude» and significantly higher indicators of «conflict» and «self-blame». In the perception of the father's attitude, «hostility» and «inconsistency» prevail, and in the perception of the mother's attitude, «hostility» and «directionality» prevail. The emotional component of intra-family relationships of girls with a high risk of developing ED is characterized by the experience of «guilt», «tension» and «anxiety». The article also presents the results of a correlation analysis of the self-attitude of girls at risk of developing ED, their perception of father and mother and the emotional component of the relationship.
