摘要：In order to examine the incidence of bulimic symptoms in the student population, a sample of 576 female students of the University of Rijeka completed questionnaire for measuring bulimic symptoms BULIT-22, adapted to the Croatian language. Also used were the adapted measures of the image of one’s own body referring to the cognitivebehavioural, affective and perceptive aspects: questionnaire of general dissatisfaction with body appearance (BSQ; Cooper et al.,1987), scale of anxiety as a feature caused by body appearance (PASTAS; Reed et al., 1991), perception of body appearance stimulated by picture material (CDRS; Thompson and Gray, 1995). A statistically significant correlation was found between bulimic symptoms and general dissatisfaction with the body, as well as persons’ negative emotions regarding their own body parts with a tendency towards obesity. Results indicate that students with distinct bulimic symptoms (5.1%) express greater dissatisfaction with their bodies. As much as 11.9% of the female students demonstrated behaviour which can be considered at subrisk for the incidence of bulimia nervousa. The work discusses the possibility of applying the results in the interpretation of the etiology and treatment of eating disorders.
