“…Emotional eating in females was also negatively associated with the discrepancies of BMI and body shape. These results indicate that restrained and emotional eating were associated with a drive for thinness in females, which is consistent with previous reports [10, 32, 33]. Among the present study’s male participants, restrained eating was negatively associated with the discrepancies in weight, BMI, and body shape, similar to the present results for the females.…”

PurposeWe investigated the relationship between eating behavior measured by the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (DEBQ) and perception of body shape, examining the current physical status and ‘ideal’ physical parameters in females and males.MethodsThe participants, 548 Japanese university students (age 19.2 ± 0.9 years, mean ± SD; 252 males, 296 females), completed a questionnaire which asked for their current physical status (e.g., weight and height), their ideal physical parameters, their perception of their current body shape, their ideal body shape, and their eating behaviors.ResultsThe ideal weight and ideal body mass index (BMI) were significantly higher than the current weight and BMI in the males, but significantly lower in the females. Among the females, the ideal body shape was smaller than their perception of current body shape. The DEBQ scores for restrained, emotional, and external eating were higher in the females than the males among the normal-weight participants, and among the underweight participants, the restrained eating and external eating scores were higher in the females than the males. Restrained eating was negatively associated with the discrepancy between the current and ideal weight, BMI, and body shape in both the males and females. Emotional eating was negatively associated with the discrepancy in current/ideal BMI and body shape only in the females.ConclusionsAt least in Japanese university students, the gender differences in ideal body shape are related to eating behavior.

“…Emotional eating was assessed with the Emotional Eating scale from the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ; van Strien, Frijters, Bergers, & Defares, ) modified with permission to refer to that day. The Emotional Eating scale correlates strongly with measures of binge eating (e.g., the Bulimia scale of the Eating Disorders Inventory; van Strien, ) and palatable food consumption in laboratory settings (van Strien, ), and differentiates between women with and without binge‐eating disorder after controlling for weight status (Schulz & Laessle, ). Internal consistency is excellent (average α = .90 in the current study; Klump et al, ).…”

Background Low emotion differentiation (the tendency to experience vague affective states rather than discrete emotions) is associated with psychopathology marked by emotion regulation deficits and impulsive/maladaptive behavior. However, research examining associations between emotion differentiation and dysregulated eating is nascent and has yet to incorporate measures of clinically significant binge eating. Different measures of emotion differentiation have also been used, impeding cross‐study comparisons. We therefore examined associations between several emotion differentiation measures and binge eating‐related phenotypes across a spectrum of severity. Methods Women (N = 482) from the Michigan State University Twin Registry completed the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) daily for 45 consecutive days. Three measures of negative/positive emotion differentiation (NED/PED) were created using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), average interitem correlation, and average daily variance between negative/positive emotion ratings on the PANAS. Associations between NED/PED measures and emotional eating (EE) and a history of binge eating episodes (BEs) were then examined, controlling for affect intensity and BMI. Results Lower PED was associated with greater odds of BEs across the ICC and average interitem correlation measures, and more EE on the daily variance measure. Findings involving NED were less consistent; lower NED was associated with greater EE and greater odds of BEs using the daily variance measure only. Conclusion Low PED is associated with clinically significant binge eating, and some aspects of NED may also be relevant for binge eating‐related phenotypes. Further research examining the constructs captured by different emotion differentiation measures and their relevance to binge eating is needed.

“…The studies have shown that a high emphasis on weight control is related to poor body image (Hill & Bhatti, 1995;Paxton et al, 1991;Polivy & Herman, 1987;van Strien, 1996;Toro et al, 1989), low self-esteem (Button et al, 1997;Lowe et al, 1996; and depression (Polivy & Herman, 1992). In addition, it is possible that an individual's attitude towards sociocultural thinness ideals explains the concern for weight control.…”
