athletes, although again most of this research has focused on females and used a discontinuum model of disordered eating and a unidimensional perspective of perfectionism. The present study examined the degrees of disordered eating and perfectionism among college students, comparing sex (males and females) and athletic status (athletes and non-athletes), using a continuum model of disordered eating and a multidimensional approach to perfectionism. This study surveyed 322 college-aged students, 101 female non-athletes, 100 male non-athletes, 53 male athletes, and 68 female athletes. Data analyses revealed that total and maladaptive perfectionism scores significantly varied across the three disordered eating categories, while adaptive perfectionism did not vary across the categories. Results also indicated a statistically significant difference between males' and females' frequencies in the categories of disordered eating (asymptomatic, symptomatic), although the differences between athletes and non-athletes and between male athletes, female athletes, male non-athletes, and female non-athletes were not statistically significant. Finally, data analyses revealed no statistically significant interactions on total, maladaptive, or adaptive perfectionism between or among sex, athletic status, and disordered eating categories; however there were significant main effects for disordered eating category on both total and maladaptive perfectionism. The results of this study lend evidence to the perspectives of perfectionism as a multidimensional construct and the continuum model of disordered eating with college students. Strengths and limitations of this study along with suggestions for future research and clinical applications are discussed. I would like to take this opportunity to thank several individuals for the support, knowledge, and guidance they have provided me throughout my doctoral training and the dissertation process. First, I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Jeffrey Daniels, PhD, for his willingness to serve as my dissertation chair for the last steps of my dissertation. I deeply appreciate his efforts, thoughtfulness, and quick response to emails; without his guidance, I would not have been able to complete this document. I would also like to thank Roy Tunick, EdD, for his guidance in the first part of my dissertation, including the proposal of my dissertation. I would also like to express my sincere thanks to James Bartee, PhD, for his constant guidance, support, encouragement, and belief in me, not only through the dissertation process, but also in my overall doctoral training. I would also like to thank my other committee members, Jack Watson, PhD, Ed Jacobs, PhD, and Deborah Hendricks, EdD, for their helpful suggestions and valuable feedback. I am particular appreciative of Dr. Hendricks' willingness to step in and serve as my statistician committee member at the very last stage of my dissertation. Her enthusiasm to share her expertise in statistical analysis and her availableness ...
