PsycInfo turns up three references. Perhaps the middle one is the original?Coric, D., & Murstein, B. I. (1993). Bulima nervosa: Prevalence and psychological correlates in a college community. Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment & Prevention, 1, 39-51.
Murstein, B. I., & Christy, P. (1976). Physical attractiveness and marriage adjustment in middle-aged couples. Journal of Personality & Social Psychology, 34, 537-542.
