Correlations are zero order except the partial correlations (shaded). The partial correlations between stress and drive to eat indices control for age, BMI, education, and income. The partial correlations between stress and rigid restraint also control for flexible restraint and correlations between stress and flexible restraint control for rigid restraint.
