This study examined the relationships among body perception, anxiety, psychological flexibility, and abnormal eating habits of college students. Data was collected through a self reported structured questionnaire from 289 Korean college students using convenient sampling methods from April 20 to June 30, 2013. Multiple linear regression revealed the subjective body perception (${\beta}$=0.28, p<.001), ideal body image (${\beta}$=-0.15, p=.004), anxiety (${\beta}$=0.21, p<.001), and psychological flexibility (${\beta}$=-0.13, p=.032) to be significant predictors of abnormal eating habits of college students. These variables accounted for 26% of abnormal eating habits (F=17.42, p<.001).
