“…Although it is known that dietary restriction resulting in malnutrition has notable effects on personality function (Keys, Brozek, Honschel, Mickelson, & Taylor, 1950), it is unlikely that physiological deprivation influenced personality in this study since the current mean BMI of our sample was in the upper end of the recommended range and higher total TFEQ scores were correlated with higher current BMI. In addition, work by other authors suggests that restrained eaters in general are not in a frank deficiency state (Tuschl et al, 1989). That SD, a character trait denoted by self-efficacy, is low in women with high total TFEQ, susceptibility to hunger, and disinhibition is not entirely surprising.…”

“…Restrained eaters eat less kilocalories per day, eat fewer meals, and have longer average intermeal intervals than unrestrained eaters (Tuschl, Laessle, Kotthaus, & Pirke, 1989). Restrained eaters also display a tendency for disinhibition of restraint and triggering of overeating following consumption of high-calorie, or perceived high-calorie, foods (Polivy, 1976;Spencer & Fremouw, 1979;Ruderman & Wilson, 1979;Woody, Constanzo, Leifer, & Conger, 1981).…”

Objective This study investigated non‐binge eating behavior in bulimia nervosa, restrained and unrestrained eaters. Method: Nine females with bulimia nervosa, 12 female restrained eaters, and 13 female unrestrained eaters were administered the Eating Disorder Inventory‐2 (EDI‐2), the Body Shape Questionnaire, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale, and the Revised Restraint Scale (RRS). All subjects were videotaped during a midday meal and their eating behavior was subsequently rated using the Eating Behaviour Rating Scale (EBRS). Results: EBRS ratings were higher for bulimic than for unrestrained subjects. Restrained subjects' ratings did not differ from those of either bulimic or unrestrained subjects. EBRS scores were positively correlated with RRS and EDI‐2 total scores. Conclusions: Bulimic subjects display aberrant eating behavior, and the extent to which subjects engage in maladaptive eating behavior is related to the degree of eating pathology. These results support the utility of the EBRS as a useful index of eating behaviors in clinical and nonclinical populations. © 1998 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Eat Disord 24: 185–192, 1998.
