title: Towards the prevention of dieting-induced disorders: modifying negative food- and body-related attitudes.
abstract: This study investigated the extent to which negative attitudes that focus on the body and on eating could be modified within the context of a group discussion about how other young women's attitudes might be changed. The findings suggest that facilitated group discussion would be a useful tool for changing attitudes and behavioral intention in a preventive intervention aimed towards dieting-related disorders.
