Maladaptive eating patterns and behaviors are frequently documented in relation to obesity onset and management. To better understand these occurrences, it is important to examine psychological processes that may be guiding these patterns and behaviors. The current study examined the role of psychological inflexibility on emotional eating, food cravings, and disordered eating symptoms among 161 participants (60.9% female, = 31.58, = 10.71) who attended a baseline appointment for a larger randomized-controlled trial for individuals with elevated anxiety sensitivity and obesity. Three separate two-step hierarchal regressions were conducted. Results indicated that greater levels of psychological inflexibility were associated with greater levels of emotional eating, food cravings, and disordered eating symptoms. These findings suggest that promoting psychological flexibility may be a key factor in promoting positive changes in eating behaviors among individuals seeking treatment for comorbid affective vulnerabilities and weight-related behaviors.
