Abstract
Two studies developed and validated a 10-item measure to assess pro-anorexia attitudes which correlated positively with self-objectification and negatively with eating disorder symptomatology. It had strong internal consistency reliability. This tool may be useful to researchers who wish to model—and to clinicians who wish to prevent—maladaptive eating attitudes.
