Behavioral and Psychological Traits of Weight-Conscious Teenagers: A Comparison of Eating-Disordered Patients and High and Low-Risk Groups.
Mallick, M. Joan; And Others
Adolescence, v22 n85 p157-68 Spr 1987
Studied adolescent girls who were eating-disordered (N=41), athletes (N=87), or students (N=120) to determine their menstrual, dieting, and exercise patterns and their self-images. Found that eating-disordered subjects had extremely low scores on emotional tone and social relationships, suggesting that these dimensions may distinguish the eating-disordered from so-called high-risk groups such as athletes.
