title: On cultural similarities in attitudes toward eating of women students in Pennsylvania and South Korea.
abstract: 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.
