The mediating role of eating psychopathology in the relationship between unhealthy core beliefs and feeding difficulties in a nonclinical group

Article Abstract:

A study seeks to determine whether maternal eating psychopathology mediates the relationship between unhealthy core beliefs and reports of child feeding difficulties. Results show that the drive for thinness significantly mediates the relationship between maternal defectiveness/shame beliefs and food refusal in mothers of daughters, but not for mothers of sons.
