A sample of 213 first year psychology students at the University of Waikato (139 women, 74 men) completed a questionnaire on eating attitudes and behaviours. The women students were significantly more likely than the men to erroneously believe themselves to be overweight, to feel dissatisfied with their present weight and to go on diets. Fourteen percent of the women, but only 1% of the men scored more than 30 on the eating attitudes test, a score believed to be indicative of potential eating disorder. The social pressures which result in women's unrealistic expectations of their body size are discussed.
怀卡托大学的213名一年级心理学专业学生（139名女生，74名男生）参与了一项关于饮食态度和行为的问卷调查。相较于男生，女生更有可能错误地认为自己超重，对自己目前的体重不满意，并进行节食。在饮食态度测试中，14%的女生得分超过30分，而只有1%的男生得分超过30分，该分数被认为表明有潜在饮食失调问题。文中讨论了导致女性对自己体型产生不切实际期望的社会压力。
