人们认为，追求理想身材的社会压力在饮食失调的发展中起着决定性作用。在一所只有二年级新生的大学里，99名女生联谊会成员、80名非女生联谊会成员和86名一年级新生完成了进食障碍量表-2 （Garner, 1991）、物化身体意识量表（McKinley & Hyde, 1996）和同伴社会压力量表的三个子量表。据推测，在饮食失调、身体物化和社会压力方面，姐妹会成员和有意加入姐妹会的女生比非姐妹会成员和无意加入姐妹会的大一女生得分更高。研究人员还预测，在女性联谊会宿舍生活的时间以及社会压力的程度与身体物化和饮食失调方面的高分呈正相关。结果几乎支持了所有的假设，表明姐妹会吸引有风险的女性，而且住在姐妹会的房子里与饮食失调的可能性增加有关。
Social pressure to conform to the thin ideal is believed to play a decisive role in the development of eating disorders. In this field study at a college with only sophomore rush, 99 sorority women, 80 nonsorority women past their first year, and 86 first-year women completed three subscales of the Eating Disorders Inventory-2 (Garner, 1991), the Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (McKinley & Hyde, 1996), and a measure of peer social pressure. It was hypothesized that women belonging to sororities as well as those who intended to join would score higher than nonsorority and first-year women with no intention to join on these measures of disordered eating, body objectification, and social pressure. It also was predicted that the amount of time spent living in a sorority house as well as degree of social pressure would correlate positively with higher scores on body objectification and disordered eating. Results supported nearly all hypotheses, suggesting both that sororities attract at-risk women and that living in a sorority house is associated with increased likelihood of disordered eating.
