Development and preliminary validation of the cognitive behavioral dieting scale

Article Abstract:

The Cognitive Behavioral Dieting Scale (CBDS) is a reliable method for measuring dieting behavior for nonobese women with some applicability to men possible. The scale measures current dieting and related behavior over a span of two weeks. It is capable of predicting negative calorie balance and calorie intake beyond that predicted by physical variables, such as body mass index and exercise calories. The empirical development of the CBDS to solve problems, such as the lack of an accepted operational definition for dieting behavior and the difference between dieting behavior and dieting restraint, are discussed.

Body image and dieting behaviors among elite figure skaters

Article Abstract:

Researchers examined nutritional factors, body satisfaction, and eating behaviors in 40 junior skaters of national standing. They found that, despite the nutritional status of the skaters being within the normal range according to biochemical measures, the energy intake of the skaters was inadequate. Sixty-five per cent of the 20 females in the sample also reported delayed menarche, and 44% of the women who had reached menarche reported irregular cycles. The results also revealed that the skaters dieted despite indicating satisfaction with their body image.

Effects of body image on dieting, exercise, and anabolic steroid use in adolescent males

Article Abstract:

The influence of body image on dieting, exercise and anabolic steroid use in adolescent males was investigated. The results showed that more adolescent males want to gain weight as compared to those who want to lose weight. Those who wanted to gain weight were typically more satisfied with their body appearance and dieted and exercised less frequently. The number of adolescent males who use anabolic steroids was very low and such use was not related to a desire for weight loss or gain.
