Abstract

Introduction

Personality traits can give a fuller understanding for eating behaviors, such as food choice, (un)healhty eating.

Objective

To examine eating styles with a multidimensional perspective considering cognitive, affective and conative (or behavioral) components of eating styles in emerging adulthood, and how they may be related to the Big Five and impulsivity traits.

Methods

Self-reported questionnaires were used to explore the association between the eating styles, Big five traits and facets of impulsivity among young French adults (n = 450; Mean Age = 20.84 years; SD = 2.4, with 79.6% of women).

Results

On the basis of cluster analysis, six eating styles were identified: Healthier, Uninhibited, Dysregulated, Stress-related, Restrictive and Ethical restraint eaters. Results suggest that Uninhibited eaters reported lower scores on Conscientiousness and higher scores on Negative and Positive urgency. The Dysregulated group had lower scores on Extraversion, and high scores on Neuroticism, Negative urgency and Lack of premeditation. Restrictive eaters showed low levels of Openness and Lack of premeditation. The Ethical restraint style was characterized by low scores on Agreeableness and Positive urgency. The ability or inability to cope with both emotional distress and positive and negative impulsive behaviors was related to young adult's eating cognitions and behaviors.

Conclusion

Considering the existence of subtypes of eaters and separate associated personality-related traits, an individual differences perspective (e.g., age, gender, disposition to control one's emotional experiences) should be incorporated.

多维饮食概况与初成年期人格特征相关:聚类分析方法
性格特征可以让我们对饮食行为有更全面的了解,比如食物的选择,(不)健康的饮食。目的从多维的角度考察初成年期饮食方式的认知、情感和创造性(或行为)组成部分,以及它们与大五人格和冲动特征之间的关系。方法采用自述式问卷调查法,探讨法国年轻人饮食方式、五大特征与冲动各方面之间的关系(n = 450;平均年龄20.84岁;SD = 2.4,女性占79.6%)。结果在聚类分析的基础上,确定了6种饮食方式:健康饮食、不受抑制饮食、失调饮食、压力相关饮食、限制性饮食和伦理约束饮食。结果表明,不受约束的进食者在尽责性方面得分较低,在消极和积极紧急性方面得分较高。失调组在外向性方面得分较低,而在神经质、消极紧迫感和缺乏预谋方面得分较高。限制性饮食者表现出较低的开放性和缺乏预谋。伦理约束风格的特点是亲和性和积极紧迫性得分较低。应对情绪困扰和积极、消极冲动行为的能力或无能与青少年饮食认知和行为有关。结论考虑到食用者亚型的存在以及与之相关的独立人格相关特征,应纳入个体差异视角(如年龄、性别、控制情绪体验的倾向)。
