The aim of the current study was to investigate (a) the relationship between eating attitudes and depression and (b) the differences between male and female university students eating attitudes and depression. The participants of the study included 127 female and 142 male Turkish university students.
Data on depression and eating attitudes of students were collected by using the Turkish version of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Eating Attitudes Test (EAT).
Significant correlation coefficients were found between depression and eating attitudes scores of the students. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between eating attitudes scores of females and males. However, findings also revealed that gender did not lead to any significant difference in the depression levels of university students. With regard to the MANOVA no significant association emerged between eating attitudes and depression as a function of gender and age. Results of the study were discussed in the light of cultural context.
本研究旨在调查（a）饮食态度与抑郁之间的关系，以及（b）男女大学生饮食态度和抑郁之间的差异。该研究的参与者包括127名土耳其女大学生和142名土耳其男大学生。
通过使用贝克抑郁量表（BDI）土耳其语版和饮食态度测试（EAT）收集学生的抑郁和饮食态度数据。
发现学生的抑郁与饮食态度得分之间存在显著的相关系数。结果表明，女性和男性的饮食态度得分存在显著差异。然而，研究结果还显示，性别在大学生抑郁水平上并未导致任何显著差异。关于多变量方差分析，饮食态度与抑郁之间未出现因性别和年龄而产生的显著关联。根据文化背景对研究结果进行了讨论。
