Latent profiles of emotion dysregulation among individuals with binge-spectrum eating disorders: Associations with eating disorder pathology.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Emotion dysregulation (i.e., a multi-component term comprising nonacceptance of emotional responses, difficulty engaging in goal-directed behaviour, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional awareness, limited access to emotion regulation strategies, and lack of emotional clarity) is a well-established transdiagnostic risk and maintenance factor for eating disorders. To date, there is limited information on how varying scores on subdomains of emotion dysregulation may yield distinct profiles in individuals with binge-spectrum eating disorders (B-EDs), and how these emotion dysregulation profiles may inform resultant symptomatology.

Method

In the current study, treatment-seeking individuals with B-EDs (n = 315) completed the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation
