METHODOLOGY
A total of 339 female models (professional fashion models) and female non-models (university students) participated in an anonymous online survey. Measures used in the online survey included the Eating Attitudes Test, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Appearance Self-Esteem Scale, Physical Appearance Comparison Scale, and the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire. All of these tests are frequently used, validated, and sound psychological assessment tools. Upon completion of the data collection, statistical analyses were performed. Using SPSS 15.0, t tests, chi square tests, analyses of covariance, and correlation analyses were conducted.
