Assessment of disordered eating in females: instrument validation.

The purpose of this study was to validate an instrument capable of assessing 10 dimensions related to disordered eating and weight control behaviors. All subjects were female and ranged in age from 14 to 40. Of these females 68 were bulimics, 12 were compulsive eaters, and 24 eating disorders.

Disordered eating and weight control behaviors among male and female university students.

The purposes of this study were to develop an instrument capable of assessing factors potentially related to disordered eating and weight control behaviors among university students and then to compare male and female students on these factors. A 90 item instrument was developed. Sixty-four items were written by these authors, such that eight items would assess each of eight identified factors related to disordered eating.

ANALYSIS OF REPEATED MEASURES AND OTHER DESIGNS.

For small and balanced analysis of variance problems, standard computer programs are convenient and efficient. For large problems, regression pro- grams are at least competitive with analysis of variance programs; and, when a problem is unbalanced, they usually provide the only reasonable solution. This paper discusses procedures for using regression programs for the computing of analyses of variance.
