Journal of College Student Development, v44 n5 p644-52 Sep-Oct 2003

In an investigation of Heatherton and Baumeister's (1991) theory of binge eating, 207 female undergraduate students were grouped as binge eaters (BE) or non-eating-disordered (NED) for analyses. The BE group scored significantly higher than the NED group on avoidance coping and substance use when depression was not controlled; however, after controlling for depression, only substance use remained significant.
