Women with abnormal eating habits were asked to
rate their body shape on a scale similar to the
one you see here. As a group, they chose ideal
figures much thinner than what they thought their
current weights were. (Most women say they want
to be thinner than they currently are, but to a
lesser degree than women with eating problems.)
Notice that the women with eating problems chose
an ideal weight that was even thinner than what
they thought men prefer. This is not typical of
most women. In this study, only women with eating
problems wanted to be thinner than what they
thought men find attractive (Zellner, Harner,
Adler, 1989).
