Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The individual is engaging in binge-eating behavior by consuming a large amount of food in response to feeling depressed about their exam results. However, instead of purging the food through vomiting, they engage in non-purging compensation behavior by spending a significant amount of time on the cycling machine to burn off the calories consumed. This behavior is classified as binge-eating with non-purging compensating behavior.
