Abstract
These two related studies examined the eating habits, weight-related behaviors, and body image issues of college women. In Study 1, college women (!1, = 95) completed measures of demographics, body dissatisfaction, drive for thinness, weight attitudes, and media exposure. From this sample, 41 women were selected for a follow-up interview for Study 2. This research was used in developing a curriculum to prevent eating disorders and increase positive body image in junior high/middle school girls.
