Compulsive Eating in College Women.
Ondercin, Patricia A.
Journal of College Student Personnel, v20 n2 p153-57 Mar 1979
Compulsive eating (uncontrolled overeating that is not related to hunger) was investigated in 279 college women with the use of a self-report questionnaire. Results indicated a relationship between unpleasant affective states (boredom, depression, anxiety, loneliness, anger), a calming effect of eating, and compulsive eating. Implications for treatment are discussed. (Author)
