Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine potential sex differences among six of the
subscales in the Eating Disorder Inventory-3 (EDI-3) instrument. These subscales were:
Drive for Thinness, Body Dissatisfaction, Bulimia, Low Self-Esteem, Emotional
Dysregulation, and Perfectionism. Participants consisted of 147 males and 177 females
undergraduate students from two southeastern universities. Results of MANOVA
subscale analyses found no sex differences among any of the scales measured.
Additionally, mean scores on all scales fell into the average range. These results may be
attributed to the possibility that variables beyond sex may predict eating disordered
behaviors.
