Eating Behaviours Nov 05, 2020
Wu YK, Zimmer C, Munn-Chernoff MA, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between food addiction and body dissatisfaction among college students: the mediating role of eating expectancies. The current study investigated five eating expectancies (i.e., eating helps manage negative affect, eating is pleasurable and useful as a reward, eating leads to feeling out of control, eating enhances cognitive competence, and eating alleviates boredom) as potential mediators between food addiction and body dissatisfaction in 738 college students (mean age = 19.21 ± 1.63, 61.4% female). Data imply the requirement to address the influence of expecting eating to lead to feeling out of control in interventions for co-occurring food addiction and body dissatisfaction among college students.
