The present study investigated several personality and eating habit variables as predictors of the severity of binge eating and weight deviation. Subjects were 120 normal weight and overweight undergraduate women selected to vary along predetermined dimensions of weight and severity of binge eating. After providing relevant demographic and life history data, they completed a series of self-report questionnaires. Results of a canonical analysis support the independence of binge eating and weight. Two stepwise multiple regressions indicated that anorexic-like eating attitudes, dissatisfaction with body image, and poor self-image were significant predictors of the severity of binge eating while none of the measures was a significant predictor of weight deviation. The amount of stress experienced in the past year was found to be the only significant demographic/historical predictor of binge eating. These findings are discussed with respect to their implications for current understanding of the binge eating phenomenon.
本研究调查了若干人格和饮食习惯变量，作为暴饮暴食严重程度和体重偏差的预测指标。研究对象为120名体重正常和超重的本科女生，她们被挑选出来，在体重和暴饮暴食严重程度的预定维度上存在差异。在提供了相关的人口统计学和生活史数据后，她们完成了一系列自我报告问卷。典型分析的结果支持暴饮暴食和体重的独立性。两个逐步多元回归表明，厌食样饮食态度、对身体形象的不满和不良的自我形象是暴饮暴食严重程度的重要预测指标，而没有一项指标是体重偏差的重要预测指标。过去一年经历的压力量被发现是暴饮暴食的唯一重要人口统计学/历史预测指标。针对这些发现对当前对暴饮暴食现象的理解所具有的意义进行了讨论。
