The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between eating behavior dimensions and psychopathological symptoms among Portuguese undergraduate students.
We studied 258 participants (62.4% women) regarding eating behavior dimensions (emotional, external and binge eating, flexible and rigid control of eating behavior, and eating self-efficacy), psychopathological distress (as assessed by the Brief Symptom Inventory), and body mass index. In addition to studying bivariate associations between eating behavior dimensions and psychopathological subscales and indexes, what we believe to be a novel analytical approach, considering simultaneously the effects of the overall level of psychopathological distress and the relevance of specific symptoms on the eating behavior dimensions.
Emotional, external, and binge eating had positive correlations with psychopathological symptomatology, whereas eating self-efficacy was negatively associated.
Multivariate analysis showed that the overall level of psychopathological distress (combined with body mass index, among women) had a larger effect on eating behavior than the relevance of specific symptoms.
本研究旨在探讨葡萄牙大学生饮食行为维度与精神病理症状之间的关系。
我们研究了 258 名参与者(62.4%为女性)的饮食行为维度(情绪性、外显性和暴食、饮食行为的灵活和刚性控制,以及饮食自我效能)、精神病理困扰(通过简明症状量表评估)和体重指数。除了研究饮食行为维度与精神病理亚量表和指标之间的双变量关联外,我们还采用了一种新颖的分析方法,同时考虑了整体精神病理困扰水平以及特定症状对饮食行为维度的相关性的影响。
情绪性、外显性和暴食与精神病理症状呈正相关,而饮食自我效能呈负相关。
多变量分析表明,整体精神病理困扰水平(与女性的体重指数相结合)对饮食行为的影响大于特定症状的相关性。
