The Relation of Attachment, Impulsivity and Compulsivity with the Binge Eating Behavior in the Female Undergraduates

Objective：The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships among binge eating behavior and attachment, impulsivity and compulsivity of the female undergraduates in Korea. Methods：205 female undergraduates completed the Bulimia Test-Revised for binge eating behavior, Revised Adult Attachment Scale for quality of attachment, Self-report Attachment Style Scale for attachment pattern, BAS/BIS (Behavioral Activation System/Behavioral Inhibition System) Scale for impulsivity and Padua-ICMA Scale for compulsivity. Results：As to the attachment quality, high score in ‘fear of rejection’ and high ‘intimacy’ were related to the binge eating behavior. As to the impulsivity and compulsivity, high score in BAS-drive, BASfun seeking, BIS and ICMA were related to binge eating behavior. But ‘dependability’ of attachment and BAS-reward responsiveness of impulsivity were not significantly related to binge eating behavior. Conclusion：‘Fear of rejection’ and ‘intimacy’ were positively correlated with the binge eating behavior. Impulsivity and impaired control over mental activity were positively correlated with the binge eating behavior.
