Notes: Types of acculturation noted with a (+) indicate that they theoretically have a positive correlation with thin-ideal internalization whereas types of acculturation with a (-) have a negative association with thin-ideal internalization. Support for Relationship by Type of Acculturation Measured indicates whether study findings lend support (or not) for the relationship between that type of acculturation, thin-ideal internalization, and eating pathology. Spaces marked with a dash (-) indicate that the study did not measure the construct noted in the table.
