We assessed the contributions of personality and family environment to variations in self-reported eating attitudes and behaviors. Female college undergraduates (N = 137) completed the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI; Costa & McCrae, 1985), Family Environment Scale (Moos & Moos, 1986), Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI; Garner & Olmsted, 1984), and revised Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26; Garner, Olmsted, Bohr, & Garfinkel, 1982). Correlation and multiple regression analyses showed that among the personality variables, NEO-PI Neuroticism and Extraversion made the largest unique contributions to the EDI subscales and EAT-26. The family-environment measures made significant contributions to those, EDI subscales that are reflective of broader emotional and interpersonal problems, rather than eating disorders per se. Suppression effects were found for NEO-PI Extraversion and Neuroticism, underscoring the need for researchers to assess comprehensive sets of etiologic factors--and associations among them--to properly interpret complex predictor/criterion relationships.
我们评估了人格和家庭环境对自我报告的饮食态度及行为差异的影响。137名女性本科大学生完成了大五人格量表（NEO-PI；科斯塔和麦克雷，1985年）、家庭环境量表（莫斯和莫斯，1986年）、饮食失调量表（EDI；加纳和奥姆斯特德，1984年）以及修订版饮食态度测试（EAT-26；加纳、奥姆斯特德、博尔和加芬克尔，1982年）。相关性和多元回归分析表明，在人格变量中，大五人格量表中的神经质和外向性对饮食失调量表各子量表及EAT-26的独特贡献最大。家庭环境测量对那些反映更广泛情绪和人际问题而非饮食失调本身的饮食失调量表子量表有显著贡献。发现大五人格量表中的外向性和神经质存在抑制效应，这突出表明研究人员需要评估全面的病因因素集及其之间的关联，以便正确解释复杂的预测因素/标准关系。
