Conceptual model of hypothesized associations among early maladaptive schemas (EMS), emotion regulation difficulties (DERS), contextual factors (perceived stress and social support), eating behavior patterns (emotional overeating [EO], habitual overeating [HO], dietary restraint [DR]), lifestyle indicators (physical activity and sedentary behavior), and adiposity outcomes (body mass index and waist circumference).
Arrows represent associations estimated in cross-sectional data rather than causal effects.
