The aim of this research was to examine the moderating contribution of the perception of parenthood on the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and symptoms of eating disorders in women in young adulthood. One hundred and forty women between the ages of 18 and 25 participated in the research. As part of the research, the participants filled out the Questionnaire on Adverse Childhood Experiences, the Eating Habits Questionnaire, and the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire. Considering the theories and findings known so far, it was expected that women who were exposed to adverse experiences in childhood, depending on the perception of warmth or coldness of their mother's or father's behavior, would report more or fewer symptoms of eating disorders in young adulthood. The research set up two models that attempt to explain the development of eating disorder symptoms in young women; one related to adverse childhood experiences and the perception of the father's behavior, and the other to adverse childhood experiences and the perception of the mother's behavior. The results of the research showed that exposure to adverse experiences in childhood, as well as the perception of the mother's behavior, is a significant predictor for the onset of eating disorder symptoms. The perception of the father's behavior did not significantly contribute to the emergence of feeding symptoms in young women. Also, it was shown that there is a significant moderating effect of the perception of the mother's behavior on the relationship between exposure to adverse experiences in childhood and the appearance of symptoms of eating disorders, while the same was not found with the perception of the father's behavior. Finally, the contribution of predictors and moderators in both models, the one for the mother and the one for the father, significantly explain the symptoms of eating disorders in women in young adulthood and contribute to a better understanding of this area.
