Does emotional eating interfere with success in attempts at weight control?
Open accessAbstract
Questionnaire responses from a convenience sample were used to test for hypothesized relationships between changes over time in individuals' reported frequency of emotional eating and estimates of their success in attempts to reduce body weight over periods of at least 1 year. Respondents were 187 English adults, whose distribution of estimated Body Mass Indices (BMI) approximately that of the general population. Initial BMI was significantly (p less than 0.001) positively associated with reported frequency of emotional eating. Moreover, respondents indicating initially relatively high levels of emotional eating who reported a reduction in that level were found to lose significantly (p less than 0.01) more reported weight and to be significantly (p less than 0.05) more successful at approaching target weight over the period of the study than respondents who continued to report high levels of emotional eating. Similarly, respondents who reported an increase from initially relatively low levels of emotional eating, while not losing significantly less reported weight, were significantly (p less than 0.05) less successful at approaching target weight than those respondents who continued to report low levels of emotional eating.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
