Psychosocial stress and negative emotions have been associated with the consumption of highly palatable foods and excess weight. Few studies have examined these variable relationships among young African American women. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship of perceived stress, depressive symptoms, eating behaviors, and body mass index (BMI) among 191 African American women who were 18 to 40 years old. Multivariate analysis indicated that depressive symptoms had a greater impact on highly palatable eating behaviors compared with perceived stress. This study extends understanding of depressive symptoms on eating behaviors among young African American women.

This chapter focuses on the relationship of Spelman women to their education as students and alumnae between the 1880s and the 1920s. The African American women who attended Spelman Seminary incorporated the message of the seminary with values they learned from their families, churches, and community to fashion their own definition of respectable Christian womanhood. Although accepting the school’s message of moral improvement, alumnae perceived it as a means to attain leadership and an opportunity to work for individual and social uplift. Spelman alumnae viewed their cultivation of personal respectability, their work as homemakers and professionals, and their church and club organizations as their responsibility as educated women and as part of their quest for social and racial justice.
