Eating Attitudes and Trauma in Third-Generation Holocaust Survivors Survey Responses

A 2026 cross-sectional study surveyed 236 Israeli respondents aged 18–50 on eating attitudes and Holocaust trauma transmission. The dataset includes responses from 130 third-generation Holocaust survivors and 106 non-third-generation participants to the EAT-26 questionnaire and a custom survey. It was authored by Goni Biran and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze gender differences in eating attitudes based on reported higher EAT-26 scores among women.
• Compare perceptions of parental feeding styles between third-generation and non-third-generation Holocaust survivors.
• Investigate the relationship between reported childhood feeding styles and adult eating attitudes.

Strengths

• Includes responses from 236 participants, providing a substantive sample size.
• Clearly defines two comparison groups: 130 third-generation and 106 non-third-generation Holocaust survivors.
• Utilizes the standardized EAT-26 questionnaire alongside a custom instrument.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and convenience sampling bias inherent to the collection method.
