There was a positive correlation between EMAQPE and Disinhibition, Type of Food, and GH. It was seen that there was a positive correlation between Disinhibition, Type of Food, Guilt, and EEQ and GH. When the correlation table of male athletes is examined, there was a positive correlation between EMAQNE and Disinhibition. Type of Food and EEQ, and Guilt and GH.
