Abstract

The research try to describes how much has come to affect anxiety and eating behavior by binge eating men and women during the confinement. This research was aimed at 30 self-selected young adults (men and women) aged 20-31 years. Through the Binge Eating Scale (BES), which was developed by Gormally,Black, Daston & Rardin in 1982 (Losada & Marmo, 2013). Similarly, the Inventory of Anxiety Situations and Responses (ISRA), by Juan José Miguel-Tobal and Antonio Cano-Vindel (Tobal & Vindel, 2002), was applied. With this scale, the same 30 participants were evaluated the frequency of anxiety responses or behaviors that they have presented in different situations of daily life, obtaining in the same way the behaviors or responses belonging to the cognitive, physiological and motor system of each of the participants. Finally, it has been made an ad hoc sociodemographic survey, where variables of interest (number of habitual companions in the house, monthly economic income, percentage of daily time on the computer in academic / work activities) were considered, to investigate how the results obtained are related to binge eating and anxiety behavior. Thus, allowing through the answers obtained in BES, ISRA and the variables to be studied, the possibility of elaborating correlation between the responses of BES, ISRA and the variables of interest The results of this investigation are: It has been evidenced that physiological anxiety, motor and eating behavior of binge eating, with the variables studied: number of habitual companions in the house, monthly economic income, percentage of daily time on the computer in academic / work activities have diverged in all the cases studied, so some had a significant correlation and others did not yield a significant value, it is appropriate to recommend more studies where the sample is not self-selected but random.
