Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of anxiety, negative urgency (NU), and temporal discounting (i.e., delay discounting) on loss of control eating (LOCE) and emotional eating (EE). The findings revealed significant associations between higher levels of anxiety and NU with increased instances of LOCE and EE.
