“…Because of poor eating habits among many adolescents, this research project has attempted to find some explanation for adolescents' eating habits by exploring what relationships exist between nutrition knowledge and eating behavior. Since the public percep-tion is that females are more concerned about their appearance, and consequently are more concious about their food choices, some studies have considered only girls' eating patterns (Searles et al, 1986). Factors that could influence an adolescent's food choices are: nutrition knowledge, physiological needs, body image, food preferences, parental practices, peers, media, social norms, fast foods, and personal experiences (St Pierr & Resmovic, 1982;Johnson & Johnson, 1985;Schwartz, 1985;Shannon & Chen, 1988;Farthing, 1991;Pirouznia, 1995).…”

“…1983) have neither utilized site-specific information obtained in the attitude measurements nor compared attitudinal scores with physical measurements. Where physique has been measured (Striegel-Moore, McAvay, & Rodin, 1986;Searles, Terry, & Amos, 1986), weight or percent overweight is used as a surrogate variable for fatness, visual mass, or regional shape such as hip or waist circumference. Thus, while body dissatisfaction clearly is related to both perceived and actual physique, and can be operationalized with high intra-scale reliability, we remain uncertain about the relative contribution of anatomical referent to individual components of the attitude we call body dissatisfaction.…”

“…Researchers have shown that thinness is promoted in our society as the preferred standard of appearance for females (Garner et al, 1980;Guillen & Barr, 1994;Silverstein et al, 1986). Adolescent females have been shown to be particularly susceptible to this standard because appearance is the major determinant of social acceptance and identity during adolescence (Zakin, Blyth, & Simmons, 1984;Searles et al, 1986;Prokhorov, Perry, Kelder, & Klepp, 1993). Some researchers have found higher rates of body image dissatisfaction, dieting behavior, and eating disorders among adolescent females compared to the rest of the population, and have attributed these findings to adolescent females' greater susceptibility to cultural pressures for thinness (Collins, 1988;Mueller et al, 1995;Searles et al, 1986).…”

“…Concerns about weight and diet are often cited as evidence of cultural pressures for thinness in female adolescents (Lundholm & Littrell, 1986;McBride, 1986;Searles, Terry & Amos, 1986). Evidence indicates, however, that female adolescents are receiving the message about health as well; and in some cases concerns about diet and weight are motivated by health concerns instead of or in addition to concerns about thinness (Nichter, Ritenbaugh, Nichter, Vuckovic, & Aiken, 1995).…”
