On cultural similarities in attitudes toward eating of women students in Pennsylvania and South Korea.
This study compared attitudes toward eating among 226 women undergraduates at universities in Pennsylvania and South Korea. Analysis indicated that both groups (ns = 111 and 115, respectively) had similar percentages (21% and 18%, respectively) of respondents with scores suggesting symptomatology of eating disorders. Mean differences between groups on the Eating Attitudes Test-26 were not significant. Implications for research are discussed.
