Table 3.
Evaluating differences in percentages of dietary restraint attempts that were successful between participants with and without LOC eating.
| No LOC (n = 22) | LOC (n = 15) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | % | N | % | X 2 | P | Cramer’s V | |
| Avoidance | 3/5 | 60.0% | 7/15 | 46.7% | - | 1.0 | 0.1 |
| Delaying eating | 19/93 | 20.4% | 25/75 | 33.3% | 2.89 | .089 | 0.1 |
| Limiting eating | 6/6 | 100% | 25/41 | 61.0% | 2.02 | .238 | 0.3 |
| Total | 23/100 | 23.0% | 52/120 | 43.3% | 9.15 | .006 | 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 avoidance of enjoyable foods due to small cell sizes; thus, no test statistic was reported.
