ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the study was to identify the influence of the group (i.e., teammates) on an individual member's eating and dieting behaviors. Participants - 62 female (M age = 20.56, SD = 1.48) and 69 male (M = 21.43, SD = 2.76) varsity athletes - completed open-ended questions regarding the positive and negative group influences on their eating and dieting behaviors. Results revealed that the majority of the athletes did not perceive the presence of group influence (either positive or negative) on their eating and dieting behaviors. When group influence was perceived to be present, it was generally positive; approximately 30 % of the athletes indicated teammates had had a positive influence, while only 10 % reported teammates had had a negative influence. Finally, greater pressure was experienced with respect to eating behaviors than for dieting behaviors. Implications of the positive and negative group influences on eating and dieting behaviors of athletes are discussed.
