“…Previous studies indicated a relationship between weight preoccupation and self esteem (e.g., Abell & Richards, 1996;Gleason et al, 2000;Lowery et al, 2005;Milligan & Pritchard, 2006;Shea & Pritchard, 2007), as well as between weight preoccupation and gender (e.g., Erol et al, 2006;Johnson et al, 2004;Macedo et al, 2007;Milligan & Pritchard, 2006;Pritchard, 2008a;Shea & Pritchard, 2007).

“…Research has established a relation between gender and certain types of weight preoccupation behaviors (e.g., Erol et al, 2006;Johnson et al, 2004;Macedo et al, 2007;Milligan & Pritchard, 2006;Pritchard, 2008a;Shea & Pritchard, 2007). However, there is also an established relation between self esteem and weight preoccupation (e.g., Abell & Richards, 1996;Gleason et al, 2000;Lowery et al, 2005;Milligan & Pritchard, 2006;Shea & Pritchard, 2007).…”

“…For example, female college students are more likely than are male college students to display dietary control and bulimic behavior and have higher total scores on the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT; Macedo et al, 2007; see also Erol, Toprak, & Yazici, 2006;Milligan & Pritchard, 2006), as well as higher scores on bulimia, body dissatisfaction, and drive for thinness on the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI; Johnson, Crosby et al, 2004;Pritchard, 2008a;Shea & Pritchard, 2007). In fact, female undergraduates express higher levels of body dissatisfaction, body image dysphoria, and are more invested in their appearance than are male undergraduates (Anderson & Bulik, 2004;Muth & Cash, 1997).…”

Pritchard Boise State University Abstract Previous research has established gender differences in self esteem as well as weight preoccupation. In addition self esteem is known to relate to weight preoccupation. However, no studies have examined whether self esteem moderates the relation between gender and weight preoccupation. Five hundred sixty seven undergraduates completed surveys assessing self esteem and weight preoccupation. Results showed significant gender differences in self esteem and weight preoccupation. In addition, the interaction between self esteem and gender had a small but significant effect on weight preoccupation. Counselors should be aware of this when designing programs to treat weight preoccupation in conjunction with low self esteem, especially for women.

Eating and anxiety disorders are more prevalent in females, increase during adolescence, and are associated with early pubertal development. This study examined whether timing of puberty onset is associated with disordered eating and anxiety in a large sample of post-pubertal male and female undergraduate students. Self-report questionnaires assessed timing of puberty, disordered eating, anxiety, alcohol use, personality, and sensation seeking. Females scored significantly higher on measures of disordered eating (binge eating, dietary restraint, eating concerns, and weight and shape concerns) and anxiety (state and trait anxiety) than did males. In addition, early maturing women and men scored significantly higher on measures of disordered eating and anxiety than on-time or late maturing women and men. Measures of alcohol use, sensation seeking, and personality characteristics differed in males and females but did not vary with pubertal timing. Findings suggest that early puberty is associated with disordered eating and anxiety, and this association may be due to an organizational effect of pubertal hormones. Despite important differences in body fat composition, both males and females experiencing early puberty had an increased incidence of disordered eating. The fact that early puberty was associated with increased eating and anxiety symptoms in both sexes suggests that puberty may influence these symptoms through both biological and psychosocial mechanisms.

“…Bu sonuçlar üniversite öğrencileri ile yapılan önceki çalışmalarda, kızlarda %11.9 ile %13.2 arasında, erkeklerde %9.9 ile %12.6 arasında belirtilen yeme bozukluğu oranları ile benzerdi (26)(27)(28)(29) Öğrencilerin yaş grupları ile yeme bozukluğu sıklığı ara- (29,31). Bu sonuç kızların vücutları ile ilgili düşüncelere daha fazla yoğunlaşması ve erkeklere göre kilo kontrolü için egzersiz yapma yerine yanlış diyet uygulamalarını daha fazla tercih etmeleri ile ilişkili olabilir.…”

Üniversite öğrencilerinin yeme tutumu, öz-etkililik ve etkileyen faktörler Amaç: Bu araştırma üniversite öğrencilerinde yeme tutumu, öz-etkililik ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Bu tanımlayıcı araştırma 525 üniversite öğrencisi ile yürütüldü. Veriler tanıtıcı form, yeme tutumu testi (YTT-40) ve öz-etkililik-yeterlik ölçeği ile toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirmesinde, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, ki-kare analizi, Mann-Whitney U testi, Spearman korelasyon analizi ve lojistik regresyon analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin YTT-40 puan ortalaması 17.91±11.10'idi. Kız öğrencilerin YTT puan ortalaması (18.67±11.30) erkek öğrencilerden (16.79±10.73) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksekti (z=-2.39, p=0.01). YTT puanı 30'un üstünde olan öğrenci oranı 18-19 yaş grubunda %7.1, 20-21 yaş grubunda %10.9, 22-24 yaş grubunda ise %17.6 olarak bulundu (x²=7.732; p<0.05). Yeme bozukluğu riski, aşırı kilolu / obez olan öğrencilerde normal kilolu olanlara göre 2 kat daha fazla, zayıf olanlarda ise normal kilolu öğrencilere göre 2.9 kat daha düşük bulundu. YTT puanı 30, 30'un üstünde ve altında olanların öz-etkililik puan ortalamaları arasında fark bulunmadı. Sonuç: Aşırı kilolu / obez olanlar, vücut ağırlığından memnun olmayanlar, diyet yapanlar ve stres durumunda beslenmesinin etkileneceğini belirten öğrenciler yeme bozuklukları açısından riskli bulundu. Anahtar sözcükler: Yeme bozuklukları, öz-etkililik, yeme tutumu, YTT-40, üniversite öğrencileri ABS TRACTThe eating attitudes of the university students, self-efficacy and affecting factors Objective: This research was performed to figure out eating attitudes of students, self-efficacy and factors that influence it. Method: This descriptive research was conducted with 525 university students. The data were collected with an identifier form, eating attitude test (EAT-40) and self-efficacy scale. In order to evaluate data, descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were used. Results: The mean score of the EAT-40 was 17.91±11.10. There was a statistically significant difference (z=-2.39, p=0.01) between the mean EAT-40 score of female students (18.67±11.30) and male students (16.79±10.73). The rate of students with EAT-40 score over 30 were found as 7.1% in the 18-19 age group, 10.9% in the 20-21 age group and 17.6% in the 22-24 age group (x²=7.732; p<0.05). The eating disorder risk of the over weight and obese students was two times more than the students with normal weight, while the eating disorder risk of the weak students was 2.9 times lower than the students with normal weight. There was no difference between the mean self-efficacy score of the ones whose EAT-40 score was over 30 and under 30. Conclusions: The students being overweight and obese, being not happy about their weights, being on a diet and stating that their nutrition would be affected in case of stress were found at risk in terms of the eating disorder.
