Evaluating differences in frequency of dietary restraint and restriction forms between participants with and without LOC eating.
| No LOC (n = 22) | LOC (n = 15) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | % | N | % | X 2 | P | Cramer’s V | |
| Dietary restraint | |||||||
| Attempted avoidance of enjoyable foods | 5 | 1.0% | 15 | 3.9% | 7.2 | .007 | 0.1 |
| Attempted delaying eating | 93 | 18.3% | 75 | 19.5% | 0.1 | .720 | 0.0 |
| Attempted limiting eating | 6 | 1.2% | 41 | 10.6% | 37.5 | .000 | 0.2 |
| Any attempted restraint | 100 | 19.7% | 120 | 31.2% | 14.9 | .000 | 0.1 |
| Dietary restriction | |||||||
| Actual avoidance of enjoyable foods | 3 | 0.6% | 7 | 1.8% | .110 | 0.1 | |
| Actual delaying eating | 19 | 3.7% | 25 | 6.5% | 1.98 | .197 | 0.1 |
| Actual limiting eating | 6 | 1.2% | 25 | 6.5% | 16.9 | .000 | 0.1 |
| Any actual restriction | 23 | 4.5% | 52 | 13.5% | 21.8 | .000 | 0.2 |
†
Bolded statistics indicate significance at p < .05. Cramer’s V interpretation: small ≤ 0.2; medium = 0.3–0.6; large > 0.6.
‡
A Fisher’s exact test was used to examine frequencies of actual avoidance of enjoyable foods due to small cell sizes; thus, no test statistic was reported.
