The current study examined the relationships of motor, nonplanning, and attentional impulsivity to external and emotional eating among restrained eaters. Data were collected from a female college sample of restrained eaters (N=90). Aspects of impulsivity and disordered eating were assessed using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Version 11, the Attentional Control Scale and the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Significant correlations emerged between eating disturbances and different types of impulsivity. The results indicated that restrained eating is associated with motor and attentional forms of impulsivity. Emotional eating appears to be linked to both attentional and motor impulsivity whereas external eating seems to be linked only to motor impulsivity. Future studies should explore which aspects of disinhibited eating among restrained eaters are best predicted by a tendency to act impulsively. (Eat. Weight Disord. 17: e62-e65, 2012).
