We aimed to explore the potential associations between screen use while eating and intuitive eating and disordered (thinness-oriented and muscularity-oriented) eating behaviors.
Analyses included 600 Chinese adults (50% women; M = 30.67, SD = 8.08) recruited online. The use of four major screen devices was captured, including cell phones, tablets, computers, and TVs. Three types of eating behaviors were examined, namely intuitive eating, thinness-oriented disordered eating, and muscularity-oriented disordered eating. Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted separately for men and women to examine the sex-specific associations between screen use while eating and intuitive eating, thinness-oriented disordered eating, and muscularity-oriented disordered eating.
In both men and women, more screen use while eating was significantly associated with lower intuitive eating, higher thinness-oriented disordered eating, and higher muscularity-oriented disordered eating, above and beyond total screen time and social media use.
We found preliminary evidence for the significant links between screen use while eating and intuitive eating and disordered eating. Given the global increases in screen use, continued research is warranted to further explore the role of screen use while eating in the development and maintenance of intuitive eating and disordered eating.
Much remains unknown regarding screen use while eating and eating behaviors. We found that in both Chinese men and women, more screen use while eating was significantly and uniquely associated with lower intuitive eating, higher thinness-oriented disordered eating, and higher muscularity-oriented disordered eating. Findings highlight the importance of incorporating screen use while eating in future research on intuitive eating and disordered eating.
我们旨在探讨就餐时使用电子设备与直觉性饮食以及紊乱（以瘦为导向和以肌肉发达为导向）饮食行为之间的潜在关联。
分析纳入了600名通过网络招募的中国成年人（50%为女性；M = 30.67，标准差 = 8.08）。记录了四种主要电子设备的使用情况，包括手机、平板电脑、电脑和电视。研究了三种饮食行为，即直觉性饮食、以瘦为导向的紊乱饮食和以肌肉发达为导向的紊乱饮食。分别对男性和女性进行了Pearson相关性分析和分层回归分析，以检验就餐时使用电子设备与直觉性饮食、以瘦为导向的紊乱饮食以及以肌肉发达为导向的紊乱饮食之间的性别特异性关联。
在男性和女性中，就餐时更多地使用电子设备均与较低的直觉性饮食、较高的以瘦为导向的紊乱饮食以及较高的以肌肉发达为导向的紊乱饮食显著相关，这一关联独立于总的电子设备使用时间和社交媒体使用情况。
我们发现了就餐时使用电子设备与直觉性饮食和紊乱饮食之间存在显著关联的初步证据。鉴于全球电子设备使用的增加，有必要继续开展研究，以进一步探讨就餐时使用电子设备在直觉性饮食和紊乱饮食的发展及维持过程中的作用。
关于就餐时使用电子设备与饮食行为，仍有许多未知之处。我们发现，在中国男性和女性中，就餐时更多地使用电子设备均与较低的直觉性饮食、较高的以瘦为导向的紊乱饮食以及较高的以肌肉发达为导向的紊乱饮食显著且独特地相关。研究结果凸显了在未来关于直觉性饮食和紊乱饮食的研究中纳入就餐时使用电子设备这一因素的重要性。
