Abstract

The primary purpose of this study is to identify female high school students' diet behavior and the correlation between psychosocial pressure and abnormal eating behavior. Participants were 320 female high school students of Kyeonggi Province. A total of 55.3% of participants answered that they were on a diet. Even among those who have an average weight, 62.84% of participants were on a diet. Correlation analyses showed statistically significant relationship between the psychosocial pressure and abnormal eating behavior. Among the sub-types of psychosocial pressure, media was highly correlated to spare eating and bulimia. A multiful regression analysis showed that psychosocial pressure could explain just 22% of spare eating. However, in case of bulimia, stress experiences explain 36% of bulimia. In considering so many variables related to abnormal eating behavior, psychosocial pressure affect significantly to abnormal eating behavior. The findings by this study demonstrate psychosocial pressure closely related to abnormal eating behavior. In the future, we should articulate psychosocial pressure on female high school students' eating behavior. Moreover, future research should include behavioral index as a dependent variable. The discussion addressed implications of the findings for future research and for clinical practice.
