Environmental Uncertainty Mediates Binge Eating during Pandemic-Related Stress

In an on-line survey during the CoVid19 pandemic, sample of measures of binge eating (BE), stress, intolerance to uncertainty, impulsivity, rumination, and a delay-discounting task were administered. Environmental uncertainty accounted significantly for elicitation of BE. Anxiety, rumination, and stress management mediate relationships between environmental uncertainty, stress; impulsivity did not.
