IntroductionThe prevalence of stress among students is high.This can affect negatively their wellbeing. Moreover, a low self-esteem may lead to more serious issues and damage in the long run.In this study, we tried to explore the eventual links between stress, self-esteem and some personal and social factors.MethodsWe carried out a cross sectional study among 756 students of faculties in Sfax (Tunisia),during the academic year 2017/2018. Each participant filled in a questionnaire which included, among others, thePerceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (SES).ResultsThe average age of students was 21.25. Among the participants, 71.3% were women (N= 539).The average scores SES and PSS were respectively 28.22 (SD= 5.693) and 30.15 (SD=5.967).The level of stress was pathological in 72.6% (N=549) of participants.One hundred and sixty seven participants (22.31%) had a very low self-esteem and 308 (40.7%) of them had low self-esteem.The SES score was not influenced by the following factors: gender (p=0.349),financial situation (p=0.36) and academic performance (p=0.248).There was a significant difference of SES score according to theinstitution (p=0.015).The SES score was negatively correlated to PSS score (p

Book Description
In the past decade, research has demonstrated the relationship between higher levels of self-compassion and lower levels of negative psychological outcomes. More recently, the concept of self-compassion has been explored within the context of various health behaviors. Very few studies have investigated the potential relationship between self-compassion and eating behaviors. Based on literature and the established relationship between negative self-evaluation and abnormal eating behaviors/eating disorders, the current study sought to examine correlations between self-compassion, eating behaviors, and stress in first time college freshmen. The study population consisted of 1478 participants; ages 18-22 years; females = 936 (63%), males = 541 (37%). Participants self-reported measures of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), and the Self Compassion Scale (SCS). PSS score, the overall score and individual subscale scores of SCS, and the three subscale scores of the TFEQ (restraint, disinhibiton, hunger) were examined with Pearson correlations. Results of this study indicate significant (p =

Book Description
Studies examining the relationship between perceived stress and disturbed eating patterns have generally reported a positive correlation between these two variables with higher levels of perceived stress associated with more severe eating disorder symptoms. The term "eating self-efficacy" refers to one's ability to resist temptations to overeat. Most studies have found eating self-efficacy and disturbed eating patterns to be negatively correlated. A review of the literature did not find any research that examines the interrelationships among perceived stress, eating self-efficacy, and disorder eating. The present study examined whether including the variable of eating self-efficacy would affect the relationship between changes in perceived stress and changes in eating disorder symptoms. To investigate the relationship between these variables, participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale, Weight Efficacy Life-Style Questionnaire, and Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire at the beginning and middle of the semester, when perceived stress was expected to be higher. Multiple linear regressions were used to analyze the data. Changes in perceived stress were not correlated with changes in eating disorder symptoms. Higher perceived stress and lower eating self-efficacy correlated with more eating disorder symptoms at both assessments. Perceived stress and eating self-efficacy each independently contributed to the variability of eating disorder symptoms at both assessments. Eating self-efficacy did not affect the positive correlation between perceived stress and eating disorder symptoms. This paper presented and discussed the findings and implications of this study.

Book Description
Self- esteem (SE) has been identified to have a significant impact on eating disorders (ED). Although previous studies have found a relationship between SE and EDs, further investigation in needed because SE and EDs affect gender, age, weight status, and ethnicity heterogeneously. In particular, there is limited research and inconsistent findings on the impact of SE on EDs in youth, males, and African Americans (AAs). This study had six aims: 1) Observe gender and age differences in SE, 2) Examine the impact of weight status on SE, 3) Observe gender and age effects on EDs, 4) Examine the impact of weight status on EDs, 5) Investigate the relationship between EDs and SE in youth, 6) Test mediation and moderation effects of weight, SE, and EDs. There were 215 male and female participants (Mage=13.3) recruited from low-income, predominantly AA urban communities. To assess SE the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used and the Children's Eating Attitudes Test was used to assess eating disorder behaviors. Results from this study revealed that there were no gender and age differences in participants SE. Obese and overweight youth indicated the lowest levels of SE. There was a significant association between SE and EDs. Females had higher levels of EDs and higher rates of obesity than males. Underweight youth had the highest rates of eating pathology compared to other weight categories. Obese and overweight youth had the highest rates of bulimia, anorexia, and oral control related symptoms compared to underweight and normal weight youth. Overall, the relation between SE, weight status, and EDs in the current sample is not a linear relationship and further investigation is warranted.

Book Description
Currently, increasing scholarly attention is being given to eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating. A bulk of the research on the issue has focused on Caucasian women. As a result, the body of research may be limited in its generalization to other racial and ethnic groups. This study, therefore, sought to study disordered eating among African-American college women. Two models based on research questions were tested. The first focused on how body mass index (BMI) impacted disordered eating, while the second focused on how the difference between perceived actual and ideal body image impacted disordered eating. Self-esteem was tested as a mediating factor for both models. Data were collected from a total sample of 21 African-American women from a large, private university on the east coast. Findings suggested that African-American college women had high self-esteem and a perceived actual and ideal body image that were similar. Results also demonstrated a low prevalence of eating disorders among this population, even though more than half of participants demonstrated a potential risk for developing an eating disorder. These findings have implications for counseling and student care centers by shedding light on typical attitudes about body image within this demographic and the eating behaviors that follow as a result.

Book Description
BackgroundThe eating disorders (ED) are real addictive behavior that may causes real suffering for the patient and affect his self-esteem. AimsTo estimate prevalence rate of ED.To investigate dysfunctional eating behaviors and relationships between ED and low self-esteem.Methods:A 47-item anonymous online survey was conducted among college students (N=42), via Facebook, on February 2018 designed to record some sociodemographic and clinical data.We used the u201cEating Attitudes Testu201d (EAT26) and the u201cRosenberg self-esteem scaleu201d to evaluate ED and self-esteem.Results: The mean age of participants was 17 years, with a sex ratio of 0.75. Body mass index average was 21.21 kg/m2 (it ranged between 17.11 and 30.08 kg/m2 ). 7.2% of students have overweight or obesity. Regular physical activity was reported by 38.1% of them. According to Rosenberg self-esteem scale, 81% of subjects were classified as low or very low self esteem with a mean score of 27.16. The prevalence of ED in students was 33.3% with mean score of 15.71. . This prevalence of ED is higher among girls than boys (37.5% vs 27.8%, p =0.508). BMI score was higher in eating disorder group but the relationship was not significant. Low or very low self esteem were frequent among eating disorder group (64.3%) but the relationship was not significant with the EAT-26 scores (p=0.052).Conclusions:Our study highlighted the psychological distress which could accompany eating disorder and suggest that an earlier focus on self-esteem may be warranted in the treatment of ED.

Book Description
Research indicates athletes participating in competitive sports may be at a higher risk for developing an eating disorder than non-athletes (Costin, 2007). A variety of factors may lead to an eating disorder. This study looked at the relationship between the susceptibility to eating disorders, self-esteem, and body image and Division I, Division II, and Division III female collegiate student-athletes, and it considers whether competition level was a factor for developing an eating disorder. In this study, Division I, Division II, and Division III female athletes were asked to complete a questionnaire that included three subscales of the EDI-2, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Body Cathexis, in order to determine the eating and exercising attitudes of female student-athletes. The study's findings showed that there was not a relationship between a student-athletes' competition level and their susceptibility to eating disorders; however, there was a relationship between student-athletes' self-esteem level and body image satisfaction level and their susceptibility to eating disorders. It is recommended athletic departments test their student-athletes' levels of self-esteem and body image in order to set up appropriate interventions programs for athletes who may be susceptible to eating disorders due to their self-esteem levels and/or body image satisfaction levels.
