This research focused on one such disorder: bulimia nervosa. Bulimia nervosa is characterized by binge eating followed by purging, either self-induced vomiting or excessive doses of laxatives (Mitchell & Pyle, 1985). Bulimia occurs primarily in white females from affluent families, with the college-aged population being a high-risk group (e.g., Crandall, 1988; Gordon, 1990; Nagel & Jones, 1992). Previous research has not, however, examined the combined effects of many sociological variables--such as sorority membership, satisfaction with social life, and race--that may be connected with bulimia. We examined the combined effects of these variables to provide insight into how better to understand bulimia and, therefore, to find preventative techniques that best combat all of the causes of bulimia.
