The present study is building off preliminary results in a previous study on college athletes in which positive religious coping moderated the relationship between disordered eating symptoms and competitive attitudes in NCAA Division II athletes (DeVere, 2021). However, further research is needed to gain a greater understanding of the factors impacting college athlete mental health outcomes. College athletes are at increased risk for both disordered eating and eating disorders given the unique stressors they face. Within this population, it is important to conceptualize eating disorders on a continuum, which allows for greater understanding and inclusion of the holistic experience of NCAA athletes. One athlete stressor is the mindset towards competitiveness and their motivation for striving for success, conceptualized as insecure strivings. The current study tested potential moderators of the relationship between competitiveness and DE-ED, namely the effect of religious coping. NCAA athletes at multiple institutions completed an online survey on disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, insecure strivings, and religious coping. Data was cleaned and analyzed in SPSS. Correlations and Model 1 of the PROCESS macro for SPSS v.4.2 written by Andrew Hayes (2017) for moderation analyses were run. Results suggested that disordered eating behaviors, disordered eating attitudes, and negative religious coping (religious struggle) were all associated with insecure striving in the hypothesized directions. No significant moderators were found for hypothesized relationships. The results of this study should be utilized to better understand the nuances of disordered eating attitudes and behaviors in college athletes and the cognitive, interpersonal, and spiritual factors that impact their mental health outcomes. Future research should evaluate college athletic department's psychological support for their athletes and how programs can be improved to engender increased positive outcomes for college athletes.
