Eating behaviors develop in the context of parent-child relationships, and existing research supports a relationship between eating disorders and constructs linked to insecure attachment style. This study seeks to describe the relationship between adult attachment and eating behaviors. Current evidence based treatment for eating disorders is CBT based, which does not necessarily incorporate interpersonal or attachment components in treatment. Given the high mortality and relapse rates in eating disorders, it behooves us to better understand interpersonal components of disordered eating. This study examines the relationships among dimensions of attachment and eating behaviors. The Experiences in Close Relationships-Short Form (ECR-SF) was used to measure Attachment Avoidance and Attachment Anxiety, and the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-18 (TFEQ) was used to measure eating styles (Cognitive Restraint, Uncontrolled Eating and Emotional Eating). Recruitment from social media for an online survey yielded 117 predominately White adult female participants. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine relationships among attachment dimensions and eating styles. The study also assessed whether a relationship exists between these factors and BMI. Attachment Anxiety significantly predicted higher levels of Uncontrolled and Emotional Eating. Attachment Avoidance did not predict any of the TFEQ eating styles, and neither attachment dimension predicted Cognitive Restraint. From the two attachment dimensions and three eating styles placed into the regression analysis, Emotional Eating was the only significant predictor of BMI. The present research suggests utility in adding interpersonal components to treatment of disordered eating. Sampling directed toward lower BMI may yield more results for Attachment Avoidance and Cognitive Restraint.
