Similar results were obtained for the DEBQ Emotional Eating subscale. Regression coefficients for dietary restraint (p's < .001) and impulsivity (p's < .01) were uniformly significant. However, the main effects of risk alleles, as well as 2-way and 3-way interaction effects were not significant. Again, accounting for the effects of BMI did not change the pattern of results (data now shown). Thus, for both MEBS Binge Eating and DEBQ Emotional Eating, interaction effects did not predict a significant proportion of variance over and above the main effects of these variables.
