The number of person with eating disorders are increasing almost all over the world. The exact cause of eating disorder is difficult to determine. Feeling of shame caused by negative judgments on one’s body has positive correlation to the emergence of pathological eating behavior. Furthermore the position of body shame as a variable in research on eating disorders is still inconsistent in some studies, consequently it is placed as a mediating variable to self-objectification. This study attempted to see whether there is a direct correlation between body shame and eating disorders using meta-analysis procedure. The analysis of sampling error and measurement error made on 34 studies from 21 articles. The result of the analysis showed that body shame and eating disorder are strongly correlated (r=0.547) with α = 0.05.
