The present study examined the mediating effects of self-soothing ability and depressive mood on the relationship between family coherence and binge eating behavior. Participants were asked to complete 10 questions selected from the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale III (FACES III), Self-Report Measure of Soothing Receptivity, Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the Bulimia Test Revised (BULIT-R). Data from 430 female university students were analyzed. Results of the study were as follows: First, a positive correlation was found between family coherence and self-soothing ability as well as with depressive mood and binge eating behavior. On the other hand, family coherence and depressive mood, family coherence and binge eating behavior, and self-soothing ability and binge eating behavior showed negative correlations. Second, self-soothing ability and depressive mood appeared to have a fully mediating effect on the relationship between family coherence and binge eating behavior. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
