Sirus Alipoor, Ali Moazami-Goodarzi, Maryam Zarra-Nezhad and Lale Zaheri

Abstract: This study aims at investigating the relationship between eating attitudes and body image dissatisfaction. Among the female students of psychology from Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, during 2008, 140 students were selected through random sampling. This research was conducted in a field work fashion using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) and the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). The data collected were analyzed using correlational statistics. Results suggested that there is a significant positive correlation between the eating attitudes and body image dissatisfaction. Thus, students who are overly dissatisfied with their body shape are at a higher risk for an eating disorder.
