Abstract

A total of 241 female college students completed the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) and a battery of other scales measuring tendencies toward psychopathology. Both abnormal eating and ego dysfunction were most strongly associated with depression; lower correlations were obtained with dissociation, fears, obsessions and compulsions, perceptual aberration, and magical ideation. Panic disorder was associated with abnormal eating but not ego dysfunction. There appears to be no specific association between eating disorder and dissociation.
