  3. Prevalence  Eating disorders occur in approximately 9% of the total population (Weltzin et al., 2005)  Western countries: Female: 0.3 – 2.2% Male: 0.16% - 0.3% (Hoek and van Hoeken, 2003; Favaro et al., 2004; Keski-Rahkonen et al., 2007)

  4. Prevalence  Poland: Anorexia nervosa 0.8% and 1.8% ( Namysłowska , 1997) Bulimia nervosa Female: 0.34% and 1.5% Male: 0% to 0.70% (Ricciardelli and McCabe, 2004; Bąk , 2008)

  5. Aim of the study  The first purpose was to evaluate eating disorder attitudes and behaviours as well as knowledge about eating disorders in late adolescent women and men.  The second purpose was to assess the relationship between measurable variables in both groups.

  6. Hypotheses H1 : Female adolescents will present more attitudinal and behavioural features of eating disorder psychopathology in comparison with male adolescents. H2 : Female adolescents’ knowledge of issues relevant to eating disorders will be higher than male adolescents’ . H3 : Knowledge about eating disorder psychopathology will be negatively associated with attitudes and behaviours related with eating disorders.

  7. Participants Female Male N = 34 N = 32 Age 20.15 years ( SD = 1.72) 20.92 years ( SD = 2.38) Both groups were screened for the absence of eating disorders (adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa were excluded).

  8. Materials The Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire ( Fairburn and Beglin, 1994) assesses the core attitudinal features of eating disorders psychopathology and is composed of four dimensions:  dietary restraint  shape concerns  weight concerns  eating concerns.

  9. Materials The Eating Disorders Awareness Test (Schmidt et al., 1995) assesses awareness of the risks and maintaining factors of eating disorders.
