饮食失调与发展中国家正在经历快速的社会转型有关，包括参与全球市场经济和大量的媒体曝光。伯利兹的圣安德烈斯是一个有许多与饮食失调跨文化发展相关的风险因素的社区，尽管当地关注女性的美丽，但它对以前记录的模式表现出了显着的抵抗力。本文利用纵向的以人为中心的民族志与青春期女孩，探讨为什么这个社区出现特殊的文学。首先，社区美和身体形象的理想和实践进行了阐述。然后，提出保护性民族心理学是年轻女性快速社会文化变革的关键调解因素。最后，饮食失调行为的可能的新生案例进行了讨论，根据其独特的现象学：也就是说，必须做更多的经济机会，在旅游业和个人的痛苦或渴望瘦少。密切，意义为中心的检查饮食和身体形象的做法，可能有助于理解和预防饮食失调的青少年正在经历快速的社会变革的情况下，全球化和移民。
Eating disorders have been associated with developing nations undergoing rapid social transition, including participation in a global market economy and heavy media exposure. San Andres, Belize, a community with many risk factors associated with the cross-cultural development of eating disorders, has shown remarkable resistance to previously documented patterns, despite a local focus on female beauty. Drawing on longitudinal person-centered ethnography with adolescent girls, this article examines why this community appears exceptional in light of the literature. First, community beauty and body image ideals and practices are explicated. Then, a protective ethnopsychology is proposed as a key mediating factor of the rapid socio-cultural change among young women. Finally, possible nascent cases of eating disordered behavior are discussed in light of their unique phenomenology: that is, having to do more with economic opportunity in the tourism industry and less with personal distress or desire for thinness. Close, meaning-centered examination of eating and body image practices may aid understanding and prevention of eating disorders among adolescents undergoing rapid social change in situations of globalization and immigration.
