Keywords:
body image, eating disorders, adolescenceAbstract
In the current study we aim to analyze the influence of eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia, on teenagers’ self-image and personality. We are going to analyze the direct correlation between the risk of eating behavior disorder and neuroticism – anxiety and the reversed correlation between the risk of eating behavior disorder and body esteem.References
