To what extent does body dissatisfaction influence eating disorders?

In order to find the

answer to this question we worked with a non-probabilistic sample by convenience, made

up of 30 participants, students of the "Universidad Politécnica Salesiana" belonging to the

3rd semester psychology course. They were administered the "Body Dissatisfaction" scale

and the "EATING ATTITUDES TEST" (EAT-26). It was found that body dissatisfaction in

university students positively influences the development of eating disorders. This fact is

supported by the strong correlation between these two psychological criteria that are free of

sample illusion because at a significant level their correlation is > 0.05.
