2. Summary

Lisa and Owen (2008) investigate if eating disorders occur on a continuum of behavior by testing and surveying 261 undergraduate women. The goal of this research is to study eating disorder continuum by measuring self-esteem, perfectionism, and eating disorder behavior. This also includes the finding of validated evidence on the measure of eating disorder behavior, and QEDD. The survey indicates…
