An Evaluation of a Theoretical Model Predicting Dieting Behaviors: Tests of Measurement and Structural Invariance across Ethnicity and Gender
Boie, Ioana; Lopez, Anna L.; Sass, Daniel A.
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v46 n2 p114-135 Apr 2013
This study evaluated a model linking internalization and dieting behaviors in a sample ("n" = 499) of Latina/o and White college students. Analyses revealed that the scales were invariant across ethnic and gender groups and generally supported the invariance of the proposed model across these groups. Analyses also revealed no ethnic mean differences between the constructs, but females did score higher than males on most constructs. (Contains 5 tables and 3 figures.)
