The Korean version of Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire(SATAQ) was administered to 360 Korean female university students. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a 4 factor model is fit for data, but, scree plot and interpretability of factors supported a 2 factor model. Correlation between SATAQ and other measures of body dissatisfaction and eating disorder symptoms were significant. Mean score of the SATAQ was higher in the present weight-control group, the group with more experiences of weight-control and the high eating disorder symptom group than the no weight-control group, the group with less experiences of weight-control and the low eating disorder symptoms group, respectively. So, the SATAQ seems to be an adequate assessment tool for identification of risk factors and prognostic indicators of eating disorders.
