Summary:

Abstract. Objective: to identify the level of anxiety caused by indicators of self-attitude of adolescents and determinants of eating disorder. Material and methods. The study involved 52 adolescents. The methods "Eating Disorder Inventory" and "Taylor's Manifest Anxiety Scale" were used. Results. It was found that in 40.4% of adolescents, the average anxiety prevails with a tendency to a low level of anxiety. High anxiety is observed in 34.6% of adolescents. 50% of the study participants showed a pronounced sign — autosympathy, which reflects the emotional attitude of the subject to himself. Using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient, statistically significant inverse correlations were found: the average level of correlation (r>-0.50) between anxiety and global self-attitude, autosympathy, self-interest, expected attitude from others, self-understanding, and also strong relationship (r>-0.70) between anxiety and self-esteem scale. Using the Kruskal —Wallis /-/-test, significant relationships were found in the level of anxiety and eating behavior. Conclusion. The results of the study revealed the presence of a tendency towards eating disorders among adolescents. There is a relationship between personal anxiety and indicators of self-attitude and eating behavior. High levels of anxiety determine the development of eating disorders in adolescents against the background of low levels of self-attitude scales, except for the "self-accusation" scale.
