Significance Of Characteristic Psychological Indicators For Eating Disorders To Student Achievement Expectations And Student Success In Discrete University Student Populations, Susan L. Raab

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

Eating disorders are known to prevail in populations of college-aged women. Estimates of female university students who suffer from the disorder range from 4 to 20%, although cause and treatment are as yet controversial, deleterious effects have been documented. Selected psychological traits have commonly been found in individuals with eating disorders, affording an opportunity to profile these traits for potential dedication of effective individuals. Because these inventories are lengthy, time-consuming, and costly, the administration of these inventories is not feasible for large-scale screening. An alternative method of screening college students might be desirable.

The incidence of eating disorders have never …
