Emotions, particularly emotion dysregulation, play an important role in the development and maintenance of eating disorders as evidenced by the emphasis given to addressing emotions in a number of psychotherapeutic approaches that have been adapted for the treatment of women with disordered eating. The purpose of this study was to assess the role of emotional intelligence and other emotion regulation variables in the relationship between negative affect and bulimic symptomatology. One hundred fifty undergraduate females were assessed via a packet of self-report questionnaires that included measures of emotion regulation, including emotional intelligence (BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory -- Short Form), alexithymia (Twenty-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale), and coping (Brief COPE Inventory), negative affect (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule -- Expanded Form and Affect Intensity Measure), and bulimic symptomatology (Bulimia Test -- Revised). Results of multiple regression analyses indicated that each conceptual area of interest contributed to the prediction of bulimic symptomatology. In addition, the measures of emotion regulation accounted for significant variance in bulimic symptomatology even after controlling for negative affect. Emotional intelligence and other emotion regulation variables did not moderate the relationship between negative affect and bulimic symptomatology. However, results highlight the role of emotion in disordered eating behaviors and support the negative affect and emotion dysregulation theories of eating disorders.
情绪，尤其是情绪调节障碍，在饮食失调的发展和维持中起着重要作用，这一点在一些为治疗饮食失调女性而调整的心理治疗方法中对情绪处理的重视程度上得到了体现。本研究的目的是评估情商和其他情绪调节变量在消极情绪与暴食症状之间关系中的作用。通过一组自我报告问卷对150名本科女生进行了评估，这些问卷包括情绪调节测量，包括情商（巴昂情商量表简版）、述情障碍（多伦多述情障碍20项量表）和应对方式（简易应对方式问卷）、消极情绪（正负情绪量表扩展版和情感强度量表）以及暴食症状（修订版暴食测试）。多元回归分析结果表明，每个感兴趣的概念领域都有助于预测暴食症状。此外，即使在控制了消极情绪之后，情绪调节测量在暴食症状方面仍占显著方差。情商和其他情绪调节变量并未调节消极情绪与暴食症状之间的关系。然而，研究结果突出了情绪在饮食失调行为中的作用，并支持了饮食失调的消极情绪和情绪调节障碍理论。
