Meule A, Richard A, Schnepper R, et al. - In the current study, researchers investigated 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. Self-report measures assessing the use of emotion regulation strategies and emotional eating were completed by participants. Compared with controls, both patient groups stated using more dysfunctional and less functional emotion regulation strategies. Eating more than usual in response to negative emotions but less than usual in response to positive emotions were reported by the BN group. In contrast, eating more than usual in response to positive emotions and less than usual in response to negative emotions were reported in the AN group. The AN group had more dysfunctional emotion regulation related to eating less in response to negative emotions. The BN group showed less functional emotion regulation related to eating less when being happy. Findings thereby emphasize the necessity for differentiating different eating outcomes and different emotional states when examining emotion effects on food intake.
