“…While previous studies have reported correlations between eating pathology and lower levels of conscientiousness (Ellickson-Larew et al, 2013) or with both conscientiousness and agreeableness (Claes et al, 2006;Ghaderi & Scott, 2000;MacLaren & Best, 2009), this study did not identify significant relations between these two Big Five traits and ED symptoms. This may be because of genuine gender differences and/or symptom severity, since the majority of existing studies on personality and EDs among women included clinical samples (Claes et al, 2006;Ghaderi & Scott, 2000;MacLaren & Best, 2009).…”

“…Overall, these studies have identified higher levels of openness (Cassin & von Ranson, 2005) and neuroticism (Brookings & Wilson, 1994;Geissler & Kelly, 1994;Janzen, Saklofske, & Kelly, 1993;Roberts & Good, 2010), and lower levels of conscientiousness (Ellickson-Larew, Naragon-Gainey, & Watson, 2013;Ghaderi & Scott, 2000) and agreeableness (Ghaderi & Scott, 2000) as significant predictors of EDs in women. Weak to nonexistent relationships have been identified between extraversion and ED symptoms among both clinical (Diaz-Marsa, Carrasco, & Saiz, 2000) and nonclinical samples of women (Cassin & von Ranson, 2005;Finlayson et al, 2002;Geissler & Kelly, 1994;Gual et al, 2002).…”

Men remain largely underrepresented in the eating disorder literature and few studies have investigated risk factors for disordered eating among men. The current study examined associations between Big Five personality traits and eating disorder symptoms in a sample of college men (N = 144). Participants completed the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale and Ten Item Personality Inventory online. Results suggested that openness was positively associated with purging-type behaviors and that emotional stability was positively related to symptoms of anorexia nervosa and global eating pathology. Findings highlight the prevalence of eating disorder symptoms among college men and suggest that these symptoms are associated with a different constellation of personality traits than is typically reported among women. Implications for targeted prevention and intervention programs and future research are discussed.

Objective Stressful experiences can dramatically affect eating. The relatively sudden, global emergence of the COVID‐19 pandemic served as a massive stressor to virtually all people, regardless of infection status. This study hypothesized that actual and perceived stressors from the onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic, in the categories of recurring disruptions, environmental threat, and social isolation would be positively associated with increased self‐reported eating in the United States. Methods Over 1100 English‐fluent adults (52.8% women) living in the United States were recruited for a cross‐sectional online survey about eating, COVID‐19 consequences, and stress experiences. Linear regressions examined associations between perceived stress on five eating measures, and individual differences in personal/work situations, perceptions, and adverse experiences during the pandemic. Results Anxiety, worry, and stress over, rather than direct consequences of, COVID‐19 were most consistently associated with self‐reported increased eating. Largely, these fell into the stressor categories of environmental threat and social isolation, not recurring disruptions. Body mass index and current self‐reported eating pathology symptoms were also consistently associated with these outcomes. Conclusions These correlational findings suggest specific stressors have pronounced influences on eating behavior of US adults. Remotely deliverable stress mitigation strategies should be explored to attenuate increased eating.
