Current study aimed to offer structural model regarding role of Self-Concept and Self-Handicapping in eating disorder. Looking at high trend of morbidity and mushrooming number of eating disorder in clinical and non-clinical settings and its antagonistic features among afflicted individuals, and with respect to clinical implication and, theoretical dimensions, conducting current study seemed inevitable. Materials and Methods: This study was descriptive-correlational study. Statistical society of current study consisted of 750 individuals with BMI≥25, who were admitted to nutrition clinic at Sari General Hospital (Sari, Iran). Sample size was specified as 226 according to Krejcie and Morgan Table. We used Beck Self-Concept Test (BSCT) with respect to assessing self-concept, SHS with respect to self-handicapping assessment, EDDS (Eating disorder diagnostic scale) regarding assessment of eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder). With respect to data analyze, SPSS-22 and structural equation modeling and regression model via Lisrel test were used. Results: According to results of current study, self-concept and self-handicapping pose positive and influential roles with respect to anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Conclusion: Eating disorders are one of the leading causes of disturbance especially among women. Various factors are involved in pathogenesis of this disorder. In current study we delineated structural model with respect to Self-Concept and Self-Handicapping and eating disorders.
