AB  - OBJECTIVE: Given that dietary restraint and associated dietary behavior may 
      predispose individuals to frank eating disorders, and that differences in 
      personality profiles have been observed across subtypes of eating disorders, we 
      sought to address whether aspects of restrained eating (cognitive restraint, 
      disinhibition, and susceptibility to hunger) could be distinguished using the 
      Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). METHOD: One hundred and one women aged 
      18-45 selected at random from the community completed the Diagnostic Interview 
      for Genetic Studies (DIGS), the TCI, and the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire 
      (TFEQ). RESULTS: Novelty seeking (NS) was significantly positively correlated 
      with disinhibition. Self-directedness (SD) was negatively correlated with the 
      total TFEQ score, disinhibition, and susceptibility to hunger. Self-transcendence 
      (ST) correlated positively with total TFEQ score and cognitive restraint. 
      DISCUSSION: These findings suggest that individuals with character traits 
      denoting low SD and high ST may be particularly reactive and susceptible to 
      societal messages pertaining to the ideology of slenderness.
