RSES Self-Esteem − .286 a,c .413 b −.329 a,b .220 c

Note. EDE = Eating Disorder Examination, BDI = Beck Depression Inventory, RSES = Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Binge-eating frequency was square-root transformed. All correlations were significant (p < .05), except those correlations between body image constructs and BMI (all p > .05). Different subscripts denote significantly different (p < .05 for difference between Z scores) correlations within each biopsychosocial variable (row); bolded values were significantly different from most other body image constructs. Correlations between each body image construct and BMI were not compared because their correlations with BMI were not significant.
