The dependent variables in this case are the stressors, regulations, Command climate, sexual preference, medical issues that arise from the eating disorder and previous eating habits of the individual. The construct of the study is valid as it has withstood peer review and actually references other works on the subject. Internal validity appears to be valid because of the strong correlation between the Dependent and Independent variables. External validity is strong as well as this study can be applied to all the military services and any institution that places these kind of restraints on their members i.e. College wrestling
