OBJECTIVE Preliminary data suggest that Asian/Asian American report among the highest rates of loss of control (LOC) eating, yet the psychosocial and sociocultural correlates of LOC eating are currently understudied. The present study sought to examine the link between emotion dysregulation and LOC eating in Asian/Asian American men. Adherence to traditional Asian cultural values and ethnic identity were evaluated as potential moderators. METHODS 266 Asian/Asian American men (Mage = 24.4 ± 3.6y; MBMI = 24.2 ± 5.6 kg/m2) participated in the current study and completed an online survey. RESULTS Negative binomial regression models generally supported the positive link between emotion dysregulation and LOC eating in Asian/Asian American men. However, lack of emotional awareness when distressed was found to be significantly and inversely associated with LOC eating frequency. Adherence to Asian cultural values moderated the association between emotional impulsivity and LOC eating frequency; this link was positive among those with low adherence to Asian values, and negative among those with high adherence to Asian values. Exploration of one's ethnic identity moderated the link between emotional awareness when distressed and LOC eating frequency; the association was flat among men with low exploration of their ethnic identity, and inverse among those with high exploration of their ethnic identity. DISCUSSION Although mechanistic and prospective studies are needed, these findings provide support for the affect regulation model of LOC eating in Asian/Asian American men and suggest that there are culture-specific factors that may be relevant to the development and/or maintenance of this disordered eating behavior.

文化价值观和种族认同是亚裔/亚裔美国男性情绪失调和饮食失控之间联系的重要考虑因素

目标 初步数据表明，亚裔/亚裔美国人报告的饮食失控 (LOC) 率最高，但 LOC 饮食的心理社会和社会文化相关性目前尚未得到充分研究。本研究试图检查亚裔/亚裔美国男性情绪失调与 LOC 饮食之间的联系。对传统亚洲文化价值观和种族认同的坚持被评估为潜在的调解人。方法 266 名亚裔/亚裔美国男性（Mage = 24.4 ± 3.6y；MBMI = 24.2 ± 5.6 kg/m2）参与了当前的研究并完成了在线调查。结果 负二项式回归模型普遍支持亚裔/亚裔美国男性情绪失调与 LOC 饮食之间存在正相关关系。然而，发现苦恼时缺乏情绪意识与 LOC 进食频率显着负相关。对亚洲文化价值观的坚持缓和了情绪冲动与 LOC 饮食频率之间的关联；这种联系在对亚洲价值观认同度低的人中呈正相关，而在对亚洲价值观高度认同的人中呈负相关。对民族身份的探索调节了痛苦时的情绪意识与 LOC 进食频率之间的联系；这种关联在对种族认同探索程度较低的男性中是平坦的，而在对种族认同探索程度高的男性中则相反。讨论 虽然需要机械和前瞻性研究，
