*3.3. Correlograms*

Figure 2 presents the correlograms of the correlation matrix between the variables of interest for the obese, overweight, and normal-weight groups separately. The results showed that *HAD Anxiety* and *Depression* scores were significantly positively correlated with the majority of mYFAS symptoms severity among all BMI groups. However, mood and symptom severity scores were more strongly correlated among the obese group than among the other two groups, particularly for *Loss of control* (i.e., *mYFAS\_1*) and *Clinical impairments* (i.e., *YFAS\_9*), with coefficient values around 0.5 for *HAD Anxiety* and 0.6 for *HAD Depression*.

**Figure 2.** Correlograms for each BMI group. (**A**), Correlogram for Obese group (*n* = 57). (**B**), Correlogram for Overweight group (*n* = 147). (**C**), Correlogram for Normal Weight group (*n* = 938). Positive correlations are displayed in blue and negative correlations are displayed in red. The darkness of the color is proportional to the correlation coefficient, such that the strong correlations (i.e., the closest to −1 or 1) are represented in dark boxes. Nonsignificant correlations are displayed in white. HAD Anxiety: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale—Anxiety subscale. HAD Depression: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale—Depression subscale. EMAQ Positive: Emotional Appetite Questionnaire Positive subscale. EMAQ Negative: Emotional Appetite Questionnaire Negative subscale.

IES-2: Intuitive Eating Scale 2; -EPR: Eating for physical rather than emotional reasons; -RHSC: Reliance on Hunger and Satiety Cues; -UPE: Unconditional Permission to Eat. mYFAS\_1: Loss of control; mYFAS\_2: Cut down; mYFAS\_3: Time spent; mYFAS\_4: Impact activities; mYFAS\_5: Withdrawal; mYFAS\_6: Despite problems; mYFAS\_7: Tolerance; mYFAS\_8: Clinical distress; mYFAS\_9: Clinical impairments.

Unlike the findings among the overweight or normal-weight groups, *EMAQ Negative* scores were significantly positively correlated with the *HAD Anxiety* (*r* = 0.49) and *HAD Depression* scores (*r* = 0.42) among the obese group. Regarding intuitive eating (IES-2), the *Reliance on Hunger and Satiety Cues* (*RHSC*) subscale scores were significantly and negatively correlated with *HAD Anxiety*, *HAD Depression*, and *EMAQ Negative* scores among all BMI groups, but the correlation values were the highest among the obese group (*IES-2 RHSC* and *HAD Anxiety* or *HAD Depression*: *r* = −0.44; *IES-2RHSC* and *EMAQ Negative*: *r* = −0.57).
