Colby, Anne, 1984-. Prevalence of bulimia among college students.

Title: Prevalence of bulimia among college students. 1984.

The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence, correlates, and consequences of bulimia in two samples of college undergraduates. The study included surveys of randomly selected samples of male and female students attending two large universities in the Boston area. The first (University 1) is a prestigious and highly selective institution; the student body of the second (University 2) is more heterogeneous. The data were collected at University 1 in 1982 and at University 2 in 1984. Questionnaires were distributed to 1200 students (800 women and 400 men) at each school. The survey instrument contained questions on demographic and family background, social relationships, athletic activities, academic performance, weight and dieting history, general eating patterns and attitudes, drug consumption (including alcohol and caffeine), family health history, and bulimic and related symptomatology. The response rates were 76% at University 1 (N = 907) and 53% at University 2 (N = 633). In both groups, three-quarters of the respondents were female. A follow-up questionnaire was distributed to all bulimic women and a matched subsample of normal eaters at University 2. In-depth individual interviews designed to explore in detail eating attitudes and behaviors were also conducted with 32 bulimic and normal participants. The Murray Center holds all transcripts of the interviews as well as coded computer-accessible data from the questionnaires.

Zuckerman, Diana M. Self-esteem and life goals of college women and men.

Title: Self-esteem and life goals of college women and men. 1978.

These data were collected to assess the educational goals, career goals, and marital/parenthood plans of students attending a coeducational Seven Sisters college, and to determine the extent to which these goals are related to demographic background, self-esteem, and enrollment in women's studies courses. The sample consisted of 244 women and 62 men who were enrolled in 13 courses, including 6 in the area of women's studies. Of the men and women present in the classes, 95% completed the questionnaires, which took approximately 15 minutes during class time. The 29-item questionnaire consisted mostly of short-answer questions on demographic background, parents' education and occupations, personal traits, educational and career goals, and plans for marriage and children. Self-esteem was assessed by the 10-item Rosenberg Scale. The questionnaire was completed during the first week of classes and again during the last week of classes. The second questionnaire included additional questions about women's studies courses and participation in campus organizations. The Murray Center has acquired the completed raw data.

Zuckerman, Diana M. Sex-role-related goals and attitudes of undergraduates at six colleges and universities.

Title: Sex-role-related goals and attitudes of undergraduates at six colleges and universities. 1976.

These data were collected in order to assess educational goals, career goals, preferred and expected career commitment, and sex role attitudes of undergraduates at six different types of colleges and universities. The students were enrolled at 2 two-year technical colleges in Ohio, two private universities in Ohio and Massachusetts, and two state universities in Ohio and Massachusetts. The sample consisted of 929 male and female students who were volunteers from 40 courses representing 12 different college majors. The sample consisted mostly of white men and women between 18 and 25 years of age. The 61-item questionnaire, which took 10-15 minutes to complete during class time, included multiple-choice and open-ended questions regarding educational and career goals, career commitment, feminist attitudes, personal traits, and demographic data. Sex role attitudes were assessed by the 25-item Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS). Self-concepts in terms of self-described attractiveness, conformity, height, and intelligence were assessed on five-point scales. Self-esteem was measured by the 10-item Rosenberg Scale. The Murray Center has acquired both raw and computer-accessible data for this study.
