title: Eating behavior in junior high school females.
abstract: Female junior high school students (N = 175) were surveyed in an effort to ascertain present eating behavior as well as attitudes regarding dieting and concern about body weight. It was found that many subjects appear to have concerns as early as elementary school. Limitations of these findings are discussed as well as implications for further research.
