Note. MEBS = Minnesota Eating Behavior Survey; binge eating = MEBS binge eating subscale score; a = genetic path estimate; c = shared environmental path estimate; e = non-shared environmental path estimate; ${\text{β}}_{\text{x}}$ = linear moderator of genetic path estimate; ${\text{β}}_{\text{Y}}$ = linear moderator of shared environmental path estimate; ${\text{β}}_{\text{Z}}$ = linear moderator of non-shared environmental path estimate; ${{\text{β}}_{\text{x}}}^2$ = nonlinear moderator of genetic path estimate; ${{\text{β}}_{\text{Y}}}^2$ = nonlinear moderator of shared environmental path estimate; ${{\text{β}}_{\text{Z}}}^2$ = nonlinear moderator of non-shared environmental path estimate. Estimates are followed by 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. Confidence intervals that do not overlap with zero indicate statistical significance (bolded) at p < .05. In the “Full” model, genetic, shared environmental, and non-shared environmental estimates are allowed to vary both linearly and nonlinearly across levels of the moderator (i.e., estradiol). The best fitting model is listed below the full model.
