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.
