Abstract

Eating behaviors are an important public health issue that has large mental health implications. The study explores the determinants of intuitive and disordered eating behaviors among 693 college women using Ryff's psychological well-being, and Beck's anxiety and depression as predictors. Using multiple regression analysis, it was found that high autonomy and low anxiety indicate higher levels of intuitive eating. On the other hand, high environmental mastery, depression and anxiety indicate higher levels of disordered eating behaviors. Suggestions and implications of the findings are discussed in understanding the impact of eating behaviors on mental health of college women.
