^*p < 0.05;

^**p < 0.01 denote significant independent association with Risky Eating.

^aEach line represents a separate linear regression model with the K-PEMS motive noted, age, sex, and BMIz as independent variables. Regressions per sex category were conducted when the motive was significant with all participants included.

^bThe Risky Eating variable was created from the sum of “yes” responses to C-BEDS items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 (these pertained to eating when not hungry, loss of control when eating, eating because of negative feelings, eating as a reward, sneaking or hiding food, and getting rid of the food, respectively).

^cAll participants N = 73; female N = 38; male N = 35.

^dC-BEDS item #3 was omitted from the “Risky Eating” dependent variable due to a high correlation between this item and the Coping motive (r = 0.44, p < 0.01).
