Abstract

Affective symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, shame) are a potent risk factor for binge eating. However, less is known on the role of loneliness as a moderator of affective symptoms and binge eating. This objective of the current study was to investigate main effects and interactions of affective symptoms and loneliness in relation to binge eating in college women. A sample of 556 undergraduate women completed self-report questionnaires of affective symptoms, loneliness, and binge eating. Results revealed significant interactions between each affective symptom variable and loneliness in relation to binge eating, such that loneliness strengthened the positive association of affective symptoms and greater binge eating. The findings of this study demonstrate an important role of loneliness to binge eating among college women, especially those with underlying affective vulnerabilities. More theoretical and treatment-oriented work on the role of loneliness in binge eating is needed to understand mechanisms and interventions/preventions.

孤独是女大学生情感症状与暴饮暴食关联的调节因素。
情感症状(如抑郁、焦虑、羞愧)是暴食的一个重要风险因素。然而,人们对孤独感在情绪症状和暴食之间的调节作用却知之甚少。本研究旨在调查情感症状和孤独感对大学生暴食的主要影响和相互作用。556名女大学生完成了关于情感症状、孤独感和暴食的自我报告问卷。结果显示,每个情感症状变量与孤独感在暴饮暴食的关系上都有明显的交互作用,比如孤独感加强了情感症状与暴饮暴食之间的正相关。这项研究的结果表明,孤独感对女大学生暴饮暴食有重要作用,尤其是那些有潜在情感脆弱性的女大学生。要了解孤独感在暴食中的作用机制和干预/预防措施,还需要更多有关孤独感的理论和以治疗为导向的工作。

期刊介绍: Eating Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing human research on the etiology, prevention, and treatment of obesity, binge eating, and eating disorders in adults and children. Studies related to the promotion of healthy eating patterns to treat or prevent medical conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cancer) are also acceptable. Two types of manuscripts are encouraged: (1) Descriptive studies establishing functional relationships between eating behaviors and social, cognitive, environmental, attitudinal, emotional or biochemical factors; (2) Clinical outcome research evaluating the efficacy of prevention or treatment protocols.
