A Mediational Model of Autonomy, Self-Esteem, and Eating Disordered Attitudes and Behaviors.

Frederick, Christina M.; Grow, Virginia M.

Psychology of Women Quarterly, v20 n2 p217-28 Jun 1996

Findings from a study of the relationships among autonomy deficits, low self-esteem, and eating disorders of 71 college women supported a mediational model in which lack of autonomy was related to decreased global self-esteem, which in turn was associated with bulimia and body dissatisfaction.
