“…Our finding of a positive association between escape-avoidance coping and binge eating is similar to previous findings of a population-based study on escape-avoidance coping among individuals with current or past DSM-IV eating disorders, including AN, BN, a combination of AN and BN, or eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) (Ghaderi & Scott, 2000) and findings from studies with community adolescent samples on escape-avoidance coping and binge eating (Sierra Baigrie, 2008; Sierra-Baigrie, Lemos-Giráldez, Paino, & Fonseca-Pedrero, 2012). Evidence suggests that escape-avoidance coping serves as a short-term stress relief by immediately disconnecting individuals from the stressful situation (Aldao et al, 2010; Connor-Smith & Flachsbart, 2007).…”

Objective Binge eating behavior is a public health concern due to its negative physical and mental health consequences. Little is known about the interplay of personality traits, coping styles, and binge eating in the general adolescent population. We examined the associations among the combination of neuroticism and impulsivity (NI), maladaptive coping styles (poor problem solving, distraction, and escape-avoidance), and lifetime prevalence of binge eating in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adolescents. We also explored coping as a moderator of the NI–lifetime binge eating association and gender as a moderator of the NI–coping associations and coping–lifetime binge eating associations. Methods We used data from the National Comorbidity Survey: Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A: 2001–2004), a cross-sectional nationally representative study of adolescents aged 13 to 18 years (n=10,028). We studied the associations of NI and coping with lifetime binge eating using multivariate regression models. Results High NI was significantly associated with all three coping styles, especially escape-avoidance (β = 3.96, confidence interval [CI] = 3.62, 4.29, p < 0.001). Gender was a significant moderator of the NI–distraction coping association (β = −0.68, CI = −1.33, −0.03, p = 0.041), indicating a stronger association in males (β = 1.20, CI = 0.81, 1.58, p < 0.001) than females (β = 0.53, CI = 0.02, 1.03, p = 0.042). Lifetime prevalence of binge eating was 1.13 times higher with increased escape-avoidance coping (CI = 1.10, 1.18, p < 0.001). Discussion Our findings indicate significant associations among high NI, increased escape-avoidance coping, and higher lifetime prevalence of binge eating in adolescents. Findings of our study have potential to inform development of interventions that target modification of maladaptive personality traits and coping styles to reduce problematic eating.

“…Consistent with previous empirical evidence that supports the conceptualization of binge eating as a method of coping with negative emotional states [32][33][34]; our study found that for the sample overall, there was both a direct effect of anxiety and an indirect effect of cognitive avoidance, supporting an interpretation of partial mediation. The results from this study are novel, given that to date, many of the studies supporting this theory have extrapolated support for the role of avoidance in their examination of negative emotionality and binge eating behavior [10,27,35,36]; direct tests of the association of cognitive avoidance and binge eating have been less common [37,38].…”

Findings support the "escape from awareness" model of binge eating among women, and suggest that targeting cognitive avoidance in binge eating treatment may be a promising clinical avenue. Future research may benefit from exploring the broader construct of experiential avoidance to determine if the gender differences in cognitive avoidance observed in this study are indicative of a larger pattern of avoidance behavior, and if factors other than cognitive avoidance may have greater relevance for men.

“…of these, one was carried out with males (garcía-grau, Fusté, Miró, saldaña & Bados, 2004), only three address the age range from 13 to 18 years, (Hasking, 2006;sierra & lemos, 2008;sierra-Baigrie, lemos-giráldez, paino & Fonseca-pedrero, 2012) and all except two (pamies & Quiles, 2012;sierraBaigrie et al, 2012) are based on relatively small samples, analyzing a maximum of 417 participants (Fryer, Waller & Kroese, 1997;garcía-grau, Fusté, Miró, saldaña & Bados, 2002;Hernández-cortés & londoño, 2013;sim & Zeman, 2006;Halvarsson-edlund, sjödén & lunner, 2008;Huon et al, 1999). Moreover, we have not found any studies that analyze possible differences in coping and vulnerability to eating disorders in relation to age.…”

Estrategias de afrontamiento y vulnerabilidad a los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria, en chicas adolecentes, en función de la edad Natàlia Mas phD student, Department of personality, assessment, and psychological treatment, Abstract the main goal of the study is to explore the relationship between coping styles and vulnerability to eating disorders in a sample of adolescent girls, according to their age. the sample comprises 1396 girls, aged 13 to 18, who completed the eating Disorders inventory-3 (eDi-3) and the adolescent coping scale (acs). the regression analysis shows that the coping strategy most closely linked to the likelihood of developing an eD in all age groups is Intropunitive Avoidance. the scales of the Intropunitive Avoidance dimension that have the most explanatory power are Tension Reduction and Self-Blame. girls aged 13 and 17 are identified as the highest risk groups. Physical and social changes are proposed as the hypothetical explanation for the difference between age groups. Emphasis is placed on the need for specific prevention programs for adolescents, particularly those at high risk. Resumen el objetivo principal del estudio es explorar la relación entre estilos de afrontamiento y vulnerabilidad a trastornos de alimentación en una muestra de chicas adolescentes, según su edad. la muestra está compuesta por 1396 chicas de entre 13 y 18 años, que respondieron a los cuestionarios eating Disorders inventory-3 (eDi-3) y el adolescent coping scale (acs). los análisis de regresión muestran que la estrategia de af-rontamiento más relacionada con el riesgo de sufrir tca es la Huída Intropunitiva, en todas las edades. las escalas de la dimensión Huida Intropunitiva con mayor poder explicativo son Reducción de la Tensión y Autoinculparse. Las chicas de 13 y 17 años son los grupos identificados de mayor riesgo. Los cambios físicos y sociales se presentan como una explicación hipotética para la diferencia entre grupos de edad. se enfatiza en la necesidad de programas de prevención específicos para adolescentes, especialmente aquellos con mayor riesgo.
