Obesity is a significant health concern among college populations, and trauma-exposed students are particularly at risk for behaviors associated with weight gain. There is need for further understanding of factors that may contribute to increased obesity among this population. Participants included 139 trauma-exposed college students with obesity (76.3% females; = 25.4 years, = 8.07). The current cross-sectional study examined distress tolerance in terms of expectancies of eating to help manage negative affect and to lead to feeling out of control among trauma-exposed college students with obesity. Results indicated that lower perceived distress tolerance was associated with greater expectancies of eating to help manage negative affect and to lead to feeling out of control. These findings suggest that distress tolerance may be a clinically significant target for treatment in order to better understand and treat expectancies of eating among trauma-exposed college students with obesity.
肥胖是大学生群体中一个严重的健康问题，而经历过创伤的学生尤其容易出现与体重增加相关的行为。因此，需要进一步了解可能导致这一人群肥胖的因素。
参与者包括 139 名肥胖的经历过创伤的大学生（76.3%为女性；=25.4 岁，=8.07）。本横断面研究考察了经历过创伤的肥胖大学生在预期饮食以帮助管理负性情绪和导致失控感方面的痛苦耐受力。结果表明，较低的感知痛苦耐受力与更高的预期饮食帮助管理负性情绪和导致失控感有关。这些发现表明，痛苦耐受力可能是治疗的一个重要临床目标，以便更好地理解和治疗经历过创伤的肥胖大学生的饮食预期。
