Abstract

The present study investigated whether body shame and restrained eating would mediate the relationship between sociocultural pressure, covert narcissism, and binge eating among college students. College students completed Tripartite Influence Scale-Revised (TIS-R), Covert Narcissism Scale (CNS), the Korean version of Objectified Body Consciousness (K-OBCS), and Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26). The results indicated that there were significant positive correlations among sociocultural pressure, covert narcissism, body shame, restrained eating, and binge eating. Through structural equation modeling (SEM), the results showed that sociocultural pressure and covert narcissism have a significant indirect effect on binge eating which is mediated by body shame and restrained eating. Finally, limitations and future research directions were discussed.
