Neural
The variance of most Eating Inventory (EI) variables is primarily explained by unique environmental influences (E), with E explaining 71% of the variance in external locus for hunger (HUN) and 69% in strategic dieting behavior of restraint (RES).
Practitioners should consider the significant role of unique environmental factors when addressing eating behaviors.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The variance of most EI variables was primarily explained by E, which most strongly influenced external locus for HUN and strategic dieting behavior of RES (explaining 71% and 69% of variance, respectively).
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving twins, which allows for strong conclusions about genetic and environmental influences.
