Abstract :

A sample of 389 University students completed the Eating Attitude Test (Garner & Garfinkel, 1979) and Young’s Schema Questionnaire (2001). The results of stepwise regression analysis showed that the symptoms of eating disorders among males were predicted by maladjusted beliefs about mistrust/abuse, dependence/failure, and entitlement. But the symptoms among females were predicted by maladjusted beliefs about entitlement, vulnerability to harm, and enmeshment/undeveloped self.
