Texas State University-San Marcos, San Marcos, Texas.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/4304This study examined the relationship between disordered eating behaviors and body weight perception among normal weight college women. Additionally, the demographic variables of relationship status and ethnicity were also explored. These objectives were achieved by examining scores on the Eating Attitudes Test and responses about body weight perception, relationship status, and ethnicity. Analysis revealed that overestimation emerged as a significant predictor of disordered eating symptomatology.Text49 pages1 file (.pdf)enDisordered eating behaviorsBody weight perceptionNormal weight femalesOverestimationCollege womenEating disorders--Risk factorsEating disorders--PsychologyBody image disturbanceCollege students--Health and hygieneThesis
