Food addiction and personality traits: A three-levels meta-analysis of correlational studies
Background
Epidemiological and clinical studies highlighted that food addiction is a clinically relevant phenomenon. A large number of studies investigated its link with personality traits. However, a systematic overview and a meta-analysis of these results is lacking.
Methods
We systematically searched for studies investigating the link between food addiction and personality traits on several academic databases. For each personality trait, we performed a three-level meta-analysis estimating the strength of its association with food addiction severity. The role of moderators was tested employing meta-regression.
Results
The screening process led to the selection of 37 studies. Most contributions investigate impulsivity or the Cloninger's dimensions with the Impulsive Behavior Scale or the Temperament and Character Inventory respectively. An insufficient number of observations were retrieved to evaluate the association between food addiction severity and some personality traits such as those measured by the five-factor model. The highest effect sizes observed linked food addiction to low levels of self-directedness (r = −0.26), to high levels of both negative (r = 0.33) and positive (r = 0.27) urgency and to attentional impulsiveness (r = 0.31). Age and gender significantly moderated some of the effect sizes.
Conclusions
More research is needed to increase our knowledge regarding the association between food addiction severity and some personality traits. Results suggested that food addiction may be associated to the same personality traits that characterized addictions and eating disorders (e.g. harm avoidance and impulsivity), also revealing its specificity (i.e. the lack of significant association with reward dependence).
期刊介绍:
Eating Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing human research on the etiology, prevention, and treatment of obesity, binge eating, and eating disorders in adults and children. Studies related to the promotion of healthy eating patterns to treat or prevent medical conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cancer) are also acceptable. Two types of manuscripts are encouraged: (1) Descriptive studies establishing functional relationships between eating behaviors and social, cognitive, environmental, attitudinal, emotional or biochemical factors; (2) Clinical outcome research evaluating the efficacy of prevention or treatment protocols.
