abstract="<b>Objective:</b> Obesity is a significant health concern among college populations, and trauma-exposed students are particularly at risk for behaviors associated with weight gain. There is need for further understanding of factors that may contribute to increased obesity among this population. <b>Participants:</b> Participants included 139 trauma-exposed college students with obesity (76.3% females; <i>M</i><sub>age</sub> = 25.4 years, <i>SD</i> = 8.07). <b>Method:</b> The current cross-sectional study examined distress tolerance in terms of expectancies of eating to help manage negative affect and to lead to feeling out of control among trauma-exposed college students with obesity. <b>Results:</b> Results indicated that lower perceived distress tolerance was associated with greater expectancies of eating to help manage negative affect and to lead to feeling out of control. <b>Conclusions:</b> These findings suggest that distress tolerance may be a clinically significant target for treatment in order to better understand and treat expectancies of eating among trauma-exposed college students with obesity.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
