Sažetak
In this study eating attitudes and dieting behaviour among female adolescents in seventh and eight grade has been examined using "Eating Attitued Test" and Demografic and Dieting Questionnaire. The wish to be thinner was expressed by 61.9% of the examined adolescents, and 45.5% have already tried to lose weight. Higher levels of eating disturbances have been found in adolescents who perceived themselves as overweight and in those who have been engaged in freequent conversations with mothers about food and dieting, so that the role of mother has been proved to be important in development of dieting behaviour
