“…These models account for the multilevel structure of the data (multiple observations [Level 1] nested within participants [Level 2]). Since distributions of DEBs were highly skewed, we assumed a gamma distribution and a log link for all models in line with previous literature (Goldschmidt, Smith, Lavender, Engel & Haedt‐Matt, 2019; Parker, LeMay‐Russell, Schvey, et al ., 2022; Sala, Linde, Crosby & Pacanowski, 2021). Because these types of models do not allow for dependent variables to contain values of zero, a constant of 1 was added to each individual DEB value.…”

“…Nonetheless, the present study sought to overcome several general methodological limitations of previous EMA studies on affect and DEBs in adolescents and young adults. We investigated a large sex‐ and weight‐diverse sample from the general population, rather than focusing on small to moderately sized samples of female college students (Heron, Scott, Sliwinski & Smyth, 2014; Sala, Linde, Crosby & Pacanowski, 2021; Solomon‐Krakus, Uliaszek & Sabiston, 2022) or participants with overweight/obesity (Egbert, Haedt‐Matt, Smith, Culbert, Engel & Goldschmidt, 2020; Goldschmidt, Smith, Crosby et al ., 2018; Ranzenhofer, Engel, Crosby et al ., 2014).…”

Experiences of tension and difficulties in emotion regulation have been linked to eating pathology in clinical samples and are targeted in respective treatment approaches. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of tension on engagement in disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) and potential moderating effects of trait emotion regulation in young people from the general population. A subsample of 971 adolescents and young adults from an epidemiological cohort study reported on levels of tension and four different DEBs (skipping eating, restrained eating, eating large amounts of food, loss‐of‐control‐eating) via ecological momentary assessment (EMA), as well as on trait emotion regulation via questionnaire. In multilevel models, momentary tension did not predict levels of subsequent DEBs. However, higher average levels of tension across the EMA period predicted higher levels of all DEBs. No interactions with emotion regulation emerged. Individuals experiencing overall higher levels of tension appear to be more prone to engaging in DEBs.
