Abstract	This study evaluated a model linking internalization and dieting behaviors in a sample ("n" = 499) of Latina/o and White college students. Analyses revealed that the scales were invariant across ethnic and gender groups and generally supported the invariance of the proposed model across these groups. Analyses also revealed no ethnic mean differences between the constructs, but females did score higher than males on most constructs. (Contains 5 tables and 3 figures.) (As Provided).
