Overall,
I found the literature review to be helpful and somewhat difficult. This
assignment helped in that it asked us to take our research a step further and
not only organize the information but also compare the sources. I also found it
to be a little challenging because in all honesty, I feel that I did not take
each week prior to this as serious. I did my research and found the sources,
however I did not think about analyzing the information or taking notes in
detail.
After
completing my literature review I feel that I better understand my topic. I
found that there is a significant difference between what individuals with
eating disorders belief are the causes compared to that of individuals without
eating disorders. I also learned that there are a large amount of factors which
can lead adolescents into eating disorders. The factors vary from family
conflict to media exposure, and peer influence. Now that I have gained more
information as to possible causes for falling into eating disorders, I would
now like research possible methods of prevention.
