| Abstract: | Self-regulation is a topic of interest in many areas of well-being, including eating pathology.In previous research, both positive and negative relationships between self-regulation of eating behaviour (SRoEB) and well-being have been found. A factor that could give more insight into these conflicting results is perfectionism. Perfectionism is a personality trait that has been found to be correlated with both SRoEB and well-being. In this study, it was researched whether and how SRoEB influences well-being, and whether perfectionism moderates this relationship. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was executed to measure the three variables. Participants were students with mainly Dutch or German nationalities aged 18-26 (N=132). After analysing the data, a positive linear effect of SRoEB on well-being was found. However, no significant moderation was found for perfectionism on the relationship between SRoEB and well-being. In future research, it is of importance to gain more knowledge about factors that underly the dysfunctional properties of high SRoEB, in order to better understand and help individuals with disordered eating or eating disorders. |
