Self-verification and bulimic symptoms: do bulimic women play a role in perpetuating their own dissatisfaction and symptoms?
Article Abstract:
Bulimic women have serious concerns about body appearance, but are interested in the very feedback that will increase these concerns, according to research designed to test the hypothesis that interest in negative feedback from others is correlated with bulimic symptoms and body dissatisfaction. Interest in negative feedback seems to act as a risk factor for development of later symptoms. Bulimic women invite the very responses they fear as they seek to meet basic requirements for self-confirmation.

Familial antecedents of young adult health risk behavior: a longitudinal study
Article Abstract:
A study of 116 adolescents and young adults indicates a connection between family variables and young adult health risk behavior. Personal and emotional functioning did not mediate the relationships. The study was applied to balanced, traditional, disconnected and emotionally strained families. The results indicate that the family characteristics affect the display of health risk behavior in structured families. The family model did not apply in disconnected families.
