There is an increasing incidences of eating disorders and social anxieties among student population. The present study investigated the relationship between social anxiety and eating disorders among undergraduate students (N = 150) aged 19-30 using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS; Liebowitz, 1987) and Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q; Fairburn & Beglin, 2008). Results indicated a positive and significant relationship between overall and subscale scores. This suggests that social anxiety may be a risk factor for eating disorders. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.
