摘要

Individuals satisfy their energy needs through food intake. Recent evidence suggests that there may be many factors influencing food intake and eating patterns. The following are some of the factors that can be examined in terms of hedonism and self-efficacy. Aim of the present study is to examine the relationships between individuals’ attachment styles and their levels of dieting self-efficacy and hedonic hunger, to address all three concepts. In this cross-sectional study, which involved a total of 421 undergraduate students, sociodemographic information, Dieting Self-Efficacy Scale (DIET-SE), Power of Food Scale (PFS), and Three-Dimensional Attachment Styles Scale (TDASS) scale were collected from participants in person in the form of self-reports. The study consisted of 67.5% women, and the average age of participants was 22.15 ± 5.28 years, and the average Body Mass Index (BMI) was 23.17 ± 4.09. In women, hedonic hunger is higher than in men (p < 0.001). While there was no significant difference in dietary self-efficacy between genders (p > 0.05), multiple regression analysis showed that TDASS subscales and PFS together explained a significant proportion of variance in DIET-SE (p < 0.001; dj. R² = 0.158). Individuals with anxious-ambivalent attachment (r = 0.115, p = 0.018), the PFS score was significantly higher than in individuals with secure attachment (r = 0.098, p = 0.045). These results provide evidence that dietary interventions should be tailored to attachment style, internal and social factors, and individuals’ self-efficacy, and their impact on individuals’ overall eating patterns should be considered.
