Abstract:
This study investigated the extent to which negative attitudes that focus on the body and on eating could be modified within the context of a group discussion about how other young women's attitudes might be changed. The findings suggest that facilitated group discussion would be a useful tool for changing attitudes and behavioral intention in a preventive intervention aimed towards dieting-related disorders.
