The purpose of the study is to develop and to study validities and reliabilities of translated version of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) developed by Garner et al.1. The subjects of the study were 35 female anorexics before psychosomatic treatment (AN group) (average age 20.5±5.3,average duration 4 years). The control subjects were as follows : 26 female anorexics on psychosomatic treatment (ANDT group) (average age 21.1±6.5,average duration 3.5 years), 414 healthy female control subjects (FN group) (average age 18.8±2.4).2,20 out of 40 items were extracted by a good and poor analysis (t-test). Using the 20 items, three meaningful factors, namely food obsession (F1), dieting (F2) and phodia of obesity (F3) were factors analytically extracted.3. To study the validity of the factors and their combined EAT (EAT-20), correlational study was conducted between the scores of F1,F2,F3 and EAT-20 and clinical scales of the Kyushu University Medical Index (KMI). Followings were significant : F1 and KMI Obsessive-compulsive neurosis scale; F2 and KMI Obsessive-compulsive neurosis scale ; F1 and KMI Hypochondria scale; F1 and KMI Depression scale. A correlation between F3 and past percent maximum body weight was significant.
