Mintz, Laurie B.; Betz, Nancy E.
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v35 n4 p463-71 Oct 1988
Investigated eating disordered behaviors among nonobese, nonanorexic college women (N=643). Classified 3 percent as bulimic, 61 percent as having intermediate form of eating behavior problem, 33 percent as having normal eating habits. Degree of disturbed eating was strongly correlated with lowered self-esteem, negative body image, endorsement of sociocultural beliefs regarding desirability of female thinness, and weight and appearance concerns.
