The interaction between affective lability and eating expectancies predicts binge eating Eat. Disord. (IF 2.013) Pub Date : 2021-04-13 Anna Marie L. Ortiz, Heather A. Davis, Elizabeth N. Riley, Gregory T. Smith
ABSTRACT Both affective lability and eating expectancies have been found to predict binge eating. There is the additional possibility that the joint effect of affective lability and eating expectancies incurs further risk: perhaps expectancies for affective relief from eating operate more strongly in those experiencing frequent, rapid shifts in emotion. In the current study, we tested whether such
