Abstract

Mindful eating concerns an awareness of our dietary habits, while its absence is typically associated with anxiety, negative affect and bingeeating. The objective of this study was to analyze these variables in a sample of 216 individuals, divided in four groups: students who practicedsport regularly, university athletes, yoga practitioners and persons suffering from obesity. They were assessed by a semi-structured interview andthe questionnaires MEQ, BES, PANAS and BAI. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, ANOVA and multipleregression. Results demonstrated that people who have less awareness of their eating habits are generally more overweight, more anxious and havehigher levels of negative affect, while they demonstrate less control over their eating habits. Moreover, these variables can predict binge eating.The model obtained was significant (p < .001) and its predictive capacity through R square corrected was .51. This means that the model predictsa 51% of binge eating from mindful eating, body mass index, anxiety and negative affect.

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.
