Results: Our results showed that for female adolescents, binge eating was significantly correlated with age, body
mass index (BMI), Environmental and Emotional Eating. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that
BMI was a significant positive predictor of binge eating; Emotional and Physical Eating accounted for 34% of the
variance. For male adolescents, binge eating was significantly correlated with age, BMI, Boredom susceptibility,
Experience seeking, environmental, Social and Emotional Eating. The most significant variables that contribute
to binge symptoms, were age and BMI (that accounted for 16% of the variance), Experience seeking and Boredom
susceptibility (11%) and emotional eating (18%).
