β¦ Synopsis
This study examined interpersonal problem solving, relationship conflict, and social support among women with and without subclinical eating disorders. Thirtyβnine women scoring above the clinical cutoff on the Eating Attitudes Testβ26 (D. M. Garner & P. Garfinkel, 1979) and 39 matched controls completed selfβreport Relationship Quality, Perceived Social Support, Depression, and Interpersonal Problem Solving inventories. Contrary to predictions, groups did not differ on relationship conflict and social support measures. As hypothesized, disordered eating symptoms were associated with less effective problem solving in eating and weight and interpersonal relationship situations. The discussion focuses on implications for counseling interventions among college women.
