Examines inhibitory processes in non-clinical disordered eating behaviors, suggesting potential targets for prevention.
= 172) group. Participants completed two inhibition tasks (Stop-Signal Task, Go/NoGo Task) and self-report questionnaires (BIS/BAS scales, EC scale). Results revealed that individuals with restrictive DEB exhibited increased proactive inhibition, whereas no significant differences were observed for reactive inhibition. No behavioral differences were found for the binge-eating/purging group, though they reported lower self-reported EC. Elevated BIS levels were observed in both DEB groups relative to comparisons. These findings provide preliminary support for inhibitory alterations among non-clinical DEBs and highlight the potential utility of assessing and targeting inhibitory processes in future longitudinal research as part of a broader preventive framework for DEBs.
