“…Further, as discussed by Rosenvinge and Borresen (1999), recent literature indicating that self-esteem may be subdivided into a subjective/emotional ('self-liking') aspect and a more objective and cognitive ('self-competence') aspect , may further inform our understanding of the functions of self-esteem in adolescent dieting. Their research suggests that targeting the 'self-liking' aspect of self-esteem may be the most fruitful approach to reducing the frequency of disturbed eating patterns among adolescents (Johansen, Jacobsen, Rosenvinge, Perry, & Silvera, 1998;Rosenvinge & Borresen, 1999). As noted by The interaction term is based on mean centred variables in order to reduce the problem of intercollinearity and ease interpretation.…”

Purpose: The study investigates the predictive value of body image, self-esteem and gender for adolescent dieting at ages 15, 18 and 21 and whether adolescents' self-esteem moderates the relationship between body image and dieting. Method: Data stem from the Norwegian Longitudinal Health Behaviour Study (NLHB study): Adult by the Year 2000 ('Voksen i år 2000'). The NLHB study is a 10-year prospective cohort study based on self-completed questionnaires investigating health behaviour and lifestyle patterns among Norwegian adolescents. This paper presents data from Wave II (1992), Wave IV (1995) and Wave VI (1998), thus covering the ages 15, 18 and 21. Analyses are based on the 487 respondents participating at all three timepoints. Results: At all ages included, 25% of the girls reported they had dieted several times over the past year, while the corresponding figure for boys was 5%. Among boys, self-esteem and body image contributed to the same extent in the prediction of dieting, while only body image proved a significant predictor among girls, increasing in importance over time. Interaction between selfesteem and body image was present among young boys (ages 15 and 18) only. Conclusions: Self-esteem and body image play quite different roles in the prediction of dieting among girls and boys. The difference is not only related to strength of association between the variables, but, more importantly, to qualitatively different underlying processes.

“…The second factor,`self-competence', is based on the individual's interpretation of personal performance outcomes, and is more objective and cognitive in nature. Our research (Johansen et al, 1998;Silvera et al, 1998) implies that the effect of improving the`self-liking' aspect of self-esteem would reduce the frequency of disturbed eating patterns.…”

“…An alternative to rejecting the model would be to question the conceptualization and operationalization of the target variables. Some recent studies suggest that to distinguish between positive and negative perfectionism (Slade and Owens, 1998;Terry-Short et al, 1995;Davis, 1997) and to divide general dissatisfaction or self-esteem into self-liking versus self-competence (Tafarodi and Swann, 1995;Johansen et al, 1998), may increase the predictive value of such psychological correlates with respect to eating disorders. Then, to ®nally reject the model, more sophisticated versions should be empirically tested within the realm of a longitudinal design.…”

The present study reports on the prevalence of adolescent anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorders. Also, the hypothesis by Slade (1982) suggesting perfectionism' and`general dissatisfaction' as setting conditions for eating disorders was tested. A total of 678 15-year-old adolescents were screened, and those who scored above 10 on the`drive for thinness' subscale on the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) were interviewed for suspected eating disorders. A gender-and age-matched control group of low scores were also clinically interviewed. The interviewers were blind to whether individuals were suspected of having eating disorders or not. The Setting Conditions for Anorexia Nervosa Scale (SCANS) was used to test the setting condition hypothesis. Other variables included were the EDI subscales`Bulimia' and Body dissatisfaction'. Weight was calculated using the Body Mass Index. For the total material, we found 1.0 per cent with a binge eating disorder, 0.7 per cent with bulimia nervosa, 0.3 per cent with a bulimic subtype of anorexia nervosa and 0.7 per cent with subclinical bulimia nervosa. All subjects were girls. In addition, 3.5 per cent were considered`at risk', of whom we identi®ed 22 girls (3.2 per cent) and two boys (0.3 per cent). High scores on`perfectionism' were unrelated to the presence of eating disorders. Controlling for`body dissatisfaction',`general dissatisfaction', on the other hand, was related to eating disorders and an`at-risk' condition. The prevalence ®gures in this age cohort equal those for older age groups. The weak support to the setting condition hypothesis may point to an inadequate instrument and not necessarily to a theoretically blind alley.
