Eating expectancies and hedonic hunger among individuals with bulimia‐spectrum eating disorders who plan binge‐eating episodes

Abstract

Binge planning (BP; i.e., preparatory thoughts and actions to facilitate future binge‐eating episodes) is hypothesized to distract individuals from negative affect and increase the salience of food. Thus, individuals who engage in BP may report greater positive eating expectancies (i.e., beliefs about the outcomes of eating) and hedonic hunger (i.e., desire to eat for pleasure), as BP may increase the likelihood of obtaining these expected outcomes; but empirical tests of this possibility are needed.
