Although research has pointed to the influence of culture and family in the etiology of eating disorders, Jew studies have examined how these in influences conjoin in this process. This research explores how the family mediates cultural ideas about thinness and how the family conveys these messages to family members. Using a grounded theory approach, open-ended interviews were conducted with 32 White, middle-class women (with and without eating disorders) on the topic of body image and eating problems. In conjunction with this method, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) was also performed to identify family characteristics, and their specific combinations, that were associated with eating disorders. The findings indicate that a critical family environment, coercive parental control, and a dominating discourse on weight in the household are salient conditions. and their specific configurations are discussed in relationship to current theoretical conceptualizations regarding the influence of culture and family in the production of eating disorders.
