Methodology
  • The dataset supports a study investigating the mediating role of emotion dysregulation in the association between childhood trauma and food addiction. Participants were recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk and were invited to complete a study investigating how past experiences impact health behaviors. Data were reviewed for quality assurance and 29 participants were excluded due to failure to meet quality control criteria. We also excluded any participants who did not indicate a gender identity (n=3), who indicated a non-binary gender identity (n=1), or who were missing data on primary variables of interest (i.e., childhood trauma, emotion dysregulation, food addiction; n=39) from all analyses. This resulted in a final sample of 310 participants included in analyses. Analyses were conducted in SPSS Version 28 and moderated mediation analyses utilized Model 59 of the SPSS PROCESS macro.
Description
  • This study investigated the mediating role of emotion dysregulation in the association between childhood trauma and food addiction. Participants (n=310) completed self-report measures of food addiction, childhood trauma experiences, emotion dysregulation, and demographic variables. Pearson zero-order correlations were conducted to identify potential covariates. Age, socioeconomic status, BMI, and education were significantly associated with study variables and were included as covariates in analyses. Moderated mediational analyses were used to investigate whether DERS (emotion regulation) mediated the association between the CTQ (childhood trauma) and YFAS2.0 (food addiction) and to explore whether gender identity (men vs women) moderated this association. Emotion dysregulation partially mediated associations between food addiction and childhood trauma. Gender moderated associations between childhood trauma and emotion dysregulation as well as childhood trauma and food addiction. Both moderating pathways were significantly stronger for men compared to women. Results suggest that emotion dysregulation may be an important mediating factor in the association between childhood trauma and food addiction, particularly for men.
