Abstract in brief

  • The study examines whether perfectionistic concerns lead to binge eating, are caused by it, or both, by analyzing data from undergraduate women over four weeks.
  • Results suggest that perfectionistic concerns act as a vulnerability factor that predicts increased binge eating, but binge eating does not lead to increased perfectionistic concerns.
  • This supports the idea that perfectionistic concerns are part of the personality traits that predispose women to binge eating, rather than being a consequence of it.]
