The current study evaluated whether difficulties regulating emotions explained unique variance in binge eating and examined which types of emotion regulation difficulties are most strongly associated with binge eating. The Eating Disorders Diagnostic Scale and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale were completed by 695 undergraduates. Hierarchical regression results indicated that difficulties regulating emotions accounted for a significant amount of the variance in binge eating over and above sex, food restriction, and over-evaluation of weight and shape. Results also indicated that greater difficulty identifying and making sense of emotional states, and limited access to emotion regulation strategies were primarily responsible for the link between emotion regulation difficulties and binge eating. This supports a model of binge eating that includes emotional vulnerability and a deficit of skills to functionally modulate negative moods.
本研究评估了情绪调节困难是否能解释暴饮暴食中的独特差异，并探究了哪些类型的情绪调节困难与暴饮暴食关联最为紧密。695名本科生完成了饮食失调诊断量表和情绪调节困难量表。分层回归结果表明，情绪调节困难在性别、食物限制以及对体重和体型的过度评估之外，还在暴饮暴食的差异中占显著比例。结果还表明，识别和理解情绪状态的更大困难以及情绪调节策略的有限使用，是情绪调节困难与暴饮暴食之间联系的主要原因。这支持了一种暴饮暴食模型，该模型包括情绪易感性以及功能性调节负面情绪的技能缺陷。
