The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of perceived sociocultural factors such as physical image and eating-related cognitive distortion on dietary behaviors. The subjects were 406 male and female university students in Seoul metropolitan area. The results of this study were as follows. Body image and eating-related cognitive distortion completely mediated the relation between the perceived sociocultural effect on appearance and dietary behaviors. It means that perceived sociocultural effect on appearance does not directly influence dietary behaviors but indirectly via body image and eating-related cognitive distortion. In particular, body image has an effect on dietary behaviors prior to eating-related cognitive distortion among parameters. In addition, the entire group was divided into male and female groups to examine the differences between them. The results of the male and female groups showed results similar to those of the entire group. It means that perceived sociocultural influences mediated by body image and eating-related cognitive distortion causes dietary behaviors. Therefore, therapeutic approaches on positive body image and reconstruction of eating-related cognitive distortions are very important. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study were discussed.
