3. Moderate EDR compared to
High EDR

As can be seen from Table 9, there is a significant association between EDR and
inflexibility. It appears that the high and moderate EDR groups are more inflexible than
the low EDR group, this thus confirms hypothesis I (b). Moreover, the effect sizes are
between medium and high.
Hypothesis I (c): The low EDR group will have higher body image acceptance than
the moderate and high risk groups

As can be seen from Figure 4, the low EDR group appears to have a higher median body
image acceptance than both the moderate and the high groups.
