The interactive role of eating regulation and perceived stress on weight-related outcomes was examined among 319 sophomore year college students (110 males and 209 females). Moderated regressions were used to examine interactions between stress and eating regulation on study outcomes including body mass index (BMI) and body fat. Eating regulation moderated associations between stress and BMI and body fat outcomes. Students reporting high perceived stress, high autonomous eating regulation, low controlled regulation, and low amotivation exhibited higher outcomes (BMI and body fat) than those with similar eating regulation but lower perceived stress. Students with lower autonomous eating regulation and higher controlled regulation had no differences in study outcomes across levels of stress. College students who regulate their eating behaviours for health reasons (specifically showing autonomous regulation) exhibit higher BMI and body fat when they report higher levels of perceived stress. Health promotion programs for college students need to target education efforts towards stress reduction and healthy eating behaviours.
本研究调查了 319 名大二学生（男生 110 名，女生 209 名）的饮食调节和感知压力对体重相关结果的交互作用。采用调节回归分析检验了压力和饮食调节之间在研究结果（包括 BMI 和体脂肪）上的相互作用。饮食调节调节了压力与 BMI 和体脂肪结果之间的关联。报告高感知压力、高自主饮食调节、低控制调节和低动机的学生比具有类似饮食调节但感知压力较低的学生表现出更高的结果（BMI 和体脂肪）。在不同压力水平下，自主饮食调节较低而控制调节较高的学生在学习成绩上没有差异。出于健康原因调节饮食行为的大学生（特别是表现出自主调节），当报告感知压力较高时，其 BMI 和体脂肪较高。针对大学生的健康促进计划需要将教育重点放在减轻压力和健康饮食行为上。
