Exploring Tailored Virtual Emotion Regulation Approaches for Individuals with Emotional Eating 161 6 Table 3 | Participants’ baseline characteristics This paragraph summarizes the found effects of the exercises on affect and emotion dysregulation. As expected with the tailored assignment based on the first measurement, ANOVA calculations showed significant differences at baseline on all emotion related variables (Table 4). However, Tukey post hoc calculations reveal that only two of three intervention groups significantly differed from each other on all emotion related variables, namely group A and C. Participants from group C experienced significantly more positive affect (p=.002) and significantly less negative affect (p=.048), emotional eating (p=.009) and emotion dysregulation (p<.005), compared to participants from group A. Contrastingly, participants from group B did not significantly differ from group A on any of the emotion related baseline variables. As the assignment of tailored exercises was based on emotion dysregulation scores at baseline, this may explain the small number of participants in group B (n=5), compared to group A (n=41) and C (n=34).
