Table 4 displays the Pearson correlations for genotype/allele variables, impulsivity, dietary restraint, and binge eating.

Thus, examining both the MEBS Binge Eating and DEBQ Emotional Eating scales allowed us to ensure that findings were robust and consistent across binge eating measures and constructs.
