The Relation of Eating Disorder with Body Dissatisfaction and Emotion Regulation in Female University Students in Iran
Downloads
Background: The aim of the present study was to predict eating disorder on the basis of body dissatisfaction and emotional regulation.
Methods: The participants were 200 female students (age range: 25 to 45 years) who were selected using convenience sampling from among the students of Karaj University in Iran. The instruments used consisted of Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q). The Pearson correlation and stepwise regression methods, with inter and stepwise methods, were used during data analysis.
Results: The results of this study revealed that eating disorder has a strong relationship with body dissatisfaction and emotion regulation. In addition, both body dissatisfaction and emotional regulation predicted eating disorder, but body dissatisfaction, compared to emotion regulation, predicted more eating disorders in female students.
Conclusion: This study suggests that eating disorder can be predicted with both emotion regulation and body dissatisfaction.
