Abstract

We examined contingencies of self-worth as mediators of the relationship between global self-esteem and eating disturbances. Results indicated that self-esteem associated with appearance and competition mediated the association between self-esteem and drive for thinness, whereas those associated with appearance, competition, and virtue mediated the association between self-esteem and bulimic symptoms.
