It is well understood that mood intolerance is a predictor of eating disorder (ED) symptoms. However, it is unclear whether intolerance of specific emotional experiences predicts ED symptoms. The current study used an ecological momentary assessment design to assess associations between the intensity and intolerance of general and body-related self-conscious emotions and facets of restrictive eating. Participants were 151 female undergraduate students (Mₐgₑ = 18.99, SD = 1.30 years) who completed six surveys per day for 10 consecutive days. Participants reported on the intensity and intolerance of general and body-related shame, guilt, envy, and embarrassment and cognitive restraint (thoughts about restrictive eating) and behavioral restriction (act of restrictive eating) facets of restrictive eating. Data were analyzed using multilevel modeling. Based on the between-person findings, participants higher on intensity and intolerance of general and body-related self-conscious emotions experienced higher levels of cognitive restraint and behavioral restriction relative to individuals with lower levels of the emotion intensity and intolerance predictors on average. Based on the within-person findings, experiencing a higher intolerance of body-related self-conscious emotions compared to one's average was particularly important when examining behavioral restriction. Experiencing a higher intolerance of body-related envy was able to predict increased behavioral restriction at the time of the next report. These findings may inform tailored treatment targets for mood intolerance and restrictive eating.
