Abstract: Burgeoning research on the adolescent (e.g., middle-school) years suggests that this is a particularly vulnerable period for the development of maladaptive eating patterns. Prior research has established a link between perceptions of maternal parenting practices and adolescent onset of problematic eating behaviors. The authors hypothesized that adolescents' internalized psychological distress accounts for this relation, and they tested this hypothesis via a longitudinal, mediational study of 73 adolescent girls followed from 6th to 8th grade. Results of structural equation modeling using latent variables supported the hypothesis, identifying a time-ordered process that emphasizes the significance of the mother-adolescent relationship and the importance of targeting counseling interventions at improving parenting practices and helping adolescents to regulate negative affect as a means of preventing the development of maladaptive eating.

2. Differential Social Comparison Processes in Women with and without Eating Disorder Symptoms (EJ741188)
Corning, Alexandra F.; Krumm, Angela J.; Smitham, Lora A.
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v53 n3 p338-349 Jul 2006
2006-07-00
Descriptors: Females; Eating Disorders; Social Cognition; Self Esteem; Comparative Analysis; Social Theories; Hypothesis Testing; Predictor Variables; Self Concept; Body Composition
Abstract: On the basis of predictions from social comparison theory (L. Festinger, 1954) and informed by findings from the social comparison and eating disorder literatures, hypotheses were tested regarding the social comparison behaviors of women with eating disorder symptoms and their asymptomatic peers. Results indicated differentiating social-cognitive processes for these groups. First, a greater tendency to engage in everyday social comparison predicted the presence of eating disorder symptoms. Second, social comparisons of one's own body to images of other women's bodies using a range of shapes and sizes also differentiated these 2 groups, with more self-defeating self-appraisals predicting the presence of eating disorder symptoms. Finally, self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between body-related social comparisons and eating disorder symptom status. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for research and practice. Note:The following two links are not-applicable for text-based browsers or screen-reading software.

3. Self-Esteem as a Moderator between Perceived Discrimination and Psychological Distress among Women (EJ775246)
Corning, Alexandra F.
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v49 n1 p117-126 Jan 2002
2002-01-00
Descriptors: Psychology; Females; Self Esteem; Gender Bias; Emotional Problems; Social Theories; Stress Variables
Abstract: The relationship between perceived discrimination and psychological distress was investigated within a social comparison theory framework. Predictions of a variant of social comparison theory--relative deprivation theory--as well as predictions from the stress-buffering literature pertaining to the moderating effects of self-esteem were tested using samples primarily composed of European American women. Results regarding the theorized self-protecting roles of personal self-esteem (Study 1) and collective self-esteem (Study 2) indicated mixed support for personal self-esteem and consistent support for collective self-esteem as moderators of the discrimination-distress relationship. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for theory, practice, and research pertaining to the impact of discrimination and social stigma.

4. The Inseparability of "Career" and "Personal" Counseling. (EJ477103)
Betz, Nancy E.; Corning, Alexandra F.

Opinion Papers; Journal Articles
N/A
Descriptors: Career Counseling; Career Development; Counseling Techniques; Holistic Approach; Individual Counseling; Racial Differences; Sex Differences
Abstract: Argues that "career" and "personal" counseling should not be viewed as different types as counseling because holistic philosophy of counseling emphasizes helping "whole" persons whose lives contain many roles; research in implications of gender and race for career development further demonstrates inseparability of career and personal lives; and there are numerous commonalities in "career" and "personal" counseling process.
