Overview

Randomized crossover trial examines food choice under negative affect in bulimia nervosa, highlighting emotional impacts on eating behavior.

Key Points

  • Individuals with bulimia nervosa prioritize tastiness over healthiness in food choices more than healthy controls.
  • Under negative affect, both groups showed increased bias towards tastiness, with a stronger effect in those with bulimia nervosa.
  • Using a decision model, we analyzed food choice dynamics influenced by acute negative emotions during a task.
  • Findings suggest that negative emotions can exacerbate binge eating episodes and dietary restriction patterns among individuals with bulimia nervosa.
