Note: MEBS binge eating = the binge eating subscale of the Minnesota Eating Behavior Survey; OBE = objective binge eating; daily OBE = whether a person experienced objective binge eating on a given day; EE = emotional eating subscale of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ); NA = negative affect on the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS); DERS = Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale total score; maladaptive = use of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (rumination, self-criticism of emotions, and expressive suppression); adaptive = use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal, situation modification, acceptance of emotions, and social sharing); suppress = expressive suppression; criticize = self-criticism of emotions; reappraise = cognitive reappraisal; change = situation modification; accept = acceptance of emotions. Daily variables were averaged across the 49 days of the study for between-person correlations. Correlations significant at p <.05 are bolded.
