This study investigated mediating effects of self-esteem(SE), maladaptive perfectionism(MP), and depression(DP) on the relationship between childhood emotional abuse(EA) and bulimic behaviors(BB) among college women. A total sample of 424 college women participated in the study, and the findings included: (a) EA predicted BB via MP or DP; (b), EA predicted BB via each of three double mediating paths, including SE and MP, SE and DP, and MP and DP; (c), EA predicted BB through a sequential mediating path of SE, MP, and DP. These findings suggest that college women with greater EA in childhood showed lower level of SE, higher level of MP, and higher level of DP. In addition, those with lower level of SE reported stronger MP and high level of DP, those with stronger MP reported higher level of DP, and those with stronger MP and higher level of DP tend to binge and purge more frequently for a guilt of binge eating. Research and clinical implications, limitations, and future research direction of this study are discussed in details.
