Latent Profiles of Appetitive and Emotion-Related Impulsivity Traits
Description
Dataset of a latent profile analysis (LPA) study that classified eating styles based on appetitive and emotion-related impulsivity traits, in a non-clinical sample of 232 adults who completed a series of online questionnaires. We expected the following classes to emerge: (1) High Impulse and Appetite Self-Regulation (lowest emotion-related impulsivity, highest food avoidance, and lowest food approach); (2) Impulse Dysregulation and Appetite Self-Regulation (higher emotion-related impulsivity and food avoidance, but lower food approach); (3) Impulse Self-Regulation and Appetite Dysregulation (lower emotion-related impulsivity, lowest food avoidance, and highest food approach); and (4) Impulse and Appetite Dysregulation (highest emotion-related impulsivity, lower food avoidance, and higher food approach). Results of LPA analyses on the dataset without multivariate outliers (N = 223) identified four eating styles: Resilient Eaters (23.30%), showing the lowest food responsiveness and emotion-related impulsivity; Moderate Eaters (46.27%), with the highest food avoidance and higher behavioral emotion-related impulsivity; Hedonic Eaters (14.03%), exhibiting the highest enjoyment of food and lower emotion-related impulsivity; and Impulsive Eaters (16.40%), with the highest food responsiveness and emotion-related impulsivity.
