Abstract	Objective: Disordered eating is highly prevalent on college campuses and is associated with a host of negative outcomes. To better understand the nature of disordered eating, it is important to examine motivational processes that guide eating behavior. Participants: Participants were a diverse sample of 1,589 college students (80.4% females; M[subscript age]=22.2 years, SD = 5.27). Methods: This study examined anxiety sensitivity, a transdiagnostic vulnerability factor, as a predictor of eating expectancies. Results: Results indicated that higher levels of anxiety sensitivity was associated with greater levels of expectancies of eating to help manage negative affect, expectancies of eating to alleviate boredom, and expectancies of eating to lead to feeling out of control. Results were observed over and above variance accounted for by gender, race/ethnicity, and negative affectivity. Conclusions: These findings suggest that college students with higher anxiety sensitivity may have a greater risk for maladaptive eating expectancies. (As Provided).
