暴饮暴食和酗酒通常被概念化为成瘾行为。由于这些行为在大学本科女生中相对普遍，我们研究了常见的性格变量是否是其发生的基础。335名女大学生完成了自我报告问卷调查，内容涉及她们的饮食和饮酒习惯，以及冲动性、偏差容忍度、自尊、拒绝敏感性、外向-内向、谨慎性和情绪稳定性等性格指标。多元回归分析显示，暴饮暴食或酗酒的女性，但不是两者都有，具有相似的性格特征。这两个群体都表现出高度的冲动性，并赞同社会上的越轨态度;因此，这两个群体都可以被视为“外化者”。“相比之下，承认两种成瘾行为的女性，即，暴饮暴食和酗酒的女性并不是特别冲动或社会偏差，但表现出高度的情绪不稳定（“神经质”）;因此，这些女性可能被认为是“自我掌控者”。“这些发现的理论和临床意义进行了讨论。
Binge eating and alcohol abuse are often conceptualized as addictive behaviors. As these behaviors are relatively common among undergraduate college women, we examined whether common dispositional variables underlie their occurrence. Three hundred and thirty-five undergraduate women completed self-report questionnaires about their eating and alcohol use habits as well as dispositional measures of impulsivity, tolerance of deviance, self-esteem, rejection sensitivity, extraversion-introversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability. Multiple regression analyses showed that women who either binge eat or abuse alcohol, but not both, have similar dispositional characteristics. Both groups exhibited a high degree of impulsivity and endorsed socially deviant attitudes; thus, both groups could be viewed as "externalizers." In contrast, women who admitted to both addictive behaviors, i.e., binge eating as well as alcohol abuse, were not particularly impulsive or socially deviant, but manifested a high degree of emotional instability ("neuroticism"); thus, these women might be considered "internalizers." The theoretical and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
