摘要：AbstractThe sociocultural changes in Eastern Europe might be accompanied by a rise in symptoms of eating disorders among female population. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in eating attitudes and behaviors between nonclinical samples from Romania and Germany, using the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI). The Romanian students showed significantly higher values on five EDI-subscales. The largest effects were observed for the perfectionism and maturity fears subscales, with age and BMI as covariates not influencing these results. The present findings correlate with those of a number of other studies, which showed EDI differences between different countries and cultures.
