Text of Note

This quantitative study, used a correlational design to investigate the relationship between Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and maternal attachment security amongst young adult women. The first hypothesis predicted there would be an overall significant difference between Maternal attachment among the three following PAQ subscales: Affective Quality of Attachment, Maternal Fostering of Autonomy, and Emotional Supportiveness of Mother, amongst those who were found to possibly have BED. Furthermore, it was predicted that those who possibly have BED, would score significantly lower than those who do not possibly have BED in terms of each individual subcategory of the PAQ. Whether a BMI of 30 or higher (obese), significantly affected whether a participant's level of secure attachment in comparison of those who possibly have BED verses those who do not, was also investigated. A statistically significant difference was found between the means of the three subscales of the PAQ. Further testing indicated that the scores for the "Mother as Source of Support" scale was significantly lower than those for the "Mother as Facilitators of Independence" scale, amongst those who possibly have BED. There was no significant correlation for hypotheses two through eight. Linear regression analysis also found no significant correlations found between any of the PAQ scales or the averages of all scales for everyone, amongst those who potentially have BED, and for those who do not potentially have BED. Comparisons of those who potentially have BED, those who potentially have Bulimia Nervosa, and those who do not potentially have either, were also investigated, but the comparisons did not produce any significant results.
