Abstract

This study investigated the moderating effect of insecure attachment on variables that contribute to disordered eating. Our data suggests that anxious attachment positively moderates body dissatisfaction’s association with restrictive eating, but negatively moderates negative affect’s impact on restrictive eating behaviors.
