Since the 1970's there has been prevalence of eating disorders in especially among adolescent and young women, notably university students. While eating disorders are multidetermined, sociocultural factors have been particularly implicated, among them, pressures to be thin and successful. In developing countries and among ethnic minorities in Western societies, increasing numbers of women, especially achievement-orientated, Westernised young women from upwardly mobile families, have also been found to be at risk for developing eating disorders. This study seeks to establish the prevalence of eating disorders in a sample of South African university students, to investigate the presentation of eating disturbance in African and coloured students, and to establish the extent of body shape dissatisfaction. 2015-07-14T08:55:22Z 2015-07-14T08:55:22Z 1994 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13449 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
