Meule A, Richard A, Schnepper R, et al. - Researchers examined women with restrictive anorexia nervosa (AN) (n = 54), bulimia nervosa (BN) (n = 47), and women without eating disorders (n = 68) for their emotion regulatory function of over- and undereating in response to different emotional states. Compared to controls, both patient groups reported using more dysfunctional and less functional emotion regulation strategies. In response to negative emotions, the BN group reported eating more than usual, but in response to positive emotions, reported eating less than usual. The AN group, conversely, reported eating more than usual and less than usual in response to positive emotions and negative emotions, respectively. The AN group had more dysfunctional emotion regulation related to eating less in response to negative emotions. The BN group had less functional emotion regulation related to eating less when being happy. Findings thereby emphasize the necessity for differentiation between different eating outcomes and different emotional states when examining emotion effects on food intake.
