Zusammenfassung:The eating behavior of college women scoring within either the above‐average or middle ranges on the Restraint Scale was compared following brief social encounters with male students or other female students, or a no‐encounter control situation. The eating of average restraint women was significantly depressed following interaction with a partner whom the subjects considered attractive. For high restraint women a nonsignificant tendency towards disinhibition of eating following interaction with an attractive other occurred. Personality ratings by partners indicated that high restraint women presented a distinct social persona to male, but not female, strangers in the brief experimental interaction. © 1995 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
