Longitudinal Effects of Adolescent Girls' Pubertal Development, Perceptions of Pubertal Timing, and Parental Relations on Eating Problems.
Swarr, Amy E.; Richards, Maryse H.
Developmental Psychology, v32 n4 p636-46 Jul 1996
Examined both concurrently and longitudinally the influence of pubertal development, perceptions of pubertal timing, and experience with parents on the development of eating problems in normal adolescent girls. Found that adolescent girls' positive relationships with both parents were related to healthier eating. Results suggest that the interaction of these factors are important for understanding eating problems in early childhood. (AA)
