The primary purpose of this study is to identify the correlation between female high school students' diet behavior and stress experiences that affect abnormal eating behavior. Participants were 278 female high school students of Kyeonggi Province. 51.5% participants answered that they were on diet. Even among those who were below average weight (Body Mass Index below 18.5), 25.4% participants were on diet. Correlation analyses showed statistically significant relationship between stress experiences and abnormal eating behaviors. Among sub-types of stress experiences, individual, school-related and socio-economic stress were significantly correlated to spare eating and bulimia. But family-related stress had no significant relationship with spare eating. Multifulregression showed that stess could explain just 9% of spare eating. But in case of bulimia, stress experiences explain 15% of bulimia. In considering so many variables related to abnormal eating behavior, stress experiences affect significantly to abnormal eating behavior. The findings by this study demonstrate stress experiences closely related to abnormal eating behavior. In the future we should articulate female high school students' stress experiences on the result of this study. Moreover future research should include behavioral index as a dependent variable. The discussion addressed implications of the findings for future research and for clinical practice. (Korean J Str Res 2011;19:213∼220)
