The Eating Disorder Inventory-3 (EDI-3) was used to assess emotional over-control (EDI-3-OC) and bulimic tendencies\/binge eating propensity (EDI-3-B). Baseline autonomic tone was evaluated by measuring the logarithmic value of resting SCL (log-SCL). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as an anthropometric correlate. By controlling for gender and age, the Path Analysis showed that baseline log-SCL was negatively associated with emotional over-control (EDI-3-OC) (B = \u22123.08;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .05), which, in turn, was positively associated with bulimic tendencies (EDI-3-B) (B = 0.26;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001). Additionally, emotional over-control (EDI-3-OC) statistically mediated the association between baseline log-SCL and EDI-3-B (Sobel Z = \u22121.90;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .05) (F = 8.80,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001, R\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 0.40). Finally, EDI-3-B showed a positive cross-sectional association with BMI (B = 0.34;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001) (F = 13.63,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001, R\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 0.37). Our findings reveal statistical associations linking baseline autonomic hypoarousal, emotional over-control, and bulimic tendencies in university students. These cross-sectional patterns highlight the interplay between physiological baseline states and cognitive over-control, though longitudinal and experimental stress paradigms are required to establish temporal causality.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00332941261480087","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,25]],"date-time":"2026-08-25T07:08:35Z","timestamp":1787641715000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Path Analysis Linking Baseline Autonomic Tone to Bulimic Tendencies: The Statistical Mediating Role of Emotional Over-control and the Association With Body Mass Index"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4607-4438","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Guidotti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Parma Department of Medicine and Surgery"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Fiduccia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Parma Department of Medicine and Surgery"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosanna","family":"Sanseverino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Parma Department of Medicine and Surgery"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniele","family":"Chirco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Parma Department of Medicine and Surgery"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Carli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Parma Department of Medicine and Surgery"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Pruneti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Parma Department of Medicine and Surgery"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425787"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14656566.2019.1571041"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0954579419000671"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychires.2017.04.009"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0156722"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2021.01.076"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10484-008-9057-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40519-019-00740-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15051173"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000354599"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2009.52"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci10090591"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijo.0801699"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40519-023-01599-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2022.868586"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3758\/BRM.41.4.1149"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40337-018-0210-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_19_1","volume-title":"Biofeedback methods and procedures in clinical practice","author":"Fuller G.
