    Kobal Grum, Darja
    The research goal was to investigate the relationship between personality dimensions, self-esteem and eating behaviour in various circumstances. We were interested in differences between general ... eating behaviour patterns and eating behaviour of people in distress. Participants were 303 adults who filled out five questionnaires on eating behaviour patterns, eating a nd appraisal due to emotions and stress, the big five inventory, contingent self-esteem scale and instability of self-esteem scale. The results show that younger participants are keener to haphazard planning of meals and have higher appraisals of outside stressors and influences. Also, their score in neuroticism and openness were higher, and they expressed higher contingent self-esteem. According to the factorial structure, the factors of eating behaviour and psychological dimensions: coping with stress and extraversion, influence of outside stressors and contingent self-esteem, and eating behaviour patterns. The findings could be promising in further research of personality dimension and eating behaviour habits.
