“…Considerable research has examined impulsivity and inhibitory control due to their proposed role in loss of control eating (e.g., binge episodes, grazing) and PFC-mediated inhibition of reward-driven eating. Subjective rating of poor self-control is often associated with unhealthy eating behavior (Keller, Hartmann, & Siegrist, 2016; Wang et al, 2015). Healthy young women reporting lower trait self-control consume more chocolate after being exposed to a self-regulatory depletion task (Wang et al, 2015).…”

This article introduces the rapidly growing literature linking cognitive dysfunction to overeating and obesity. Though neural responses to food and food cues can predispose individuals to overeating, these processes are moderated by a series of cognitive factors. Deficits in attentional bias, delay discounting, and episodic memory have clear connections to overeating in both laboratory and real-world settings. New weight loss interventions target these deficits through strategies designed to either directly improve cognitive function or circumvent them by tailoring weight management strategies to individuals’ specific cognitive profile. Future iterations of these interventions should better account for the influence of obesity-related risk factors such as poor sleep, high stress, socioeconomic burden, and prevalent medical risk factors. In so doing, future work may lead to treatment strategies that promote healthy eating and weight for a lifetime.

“…Considering that self-control is closely related to eating behaviors, especially to those behaviors related to food-approach traits (e.g., emotional eating, binge eating, and loss of control overeating; J. He, Latner, Wu, & Fan, 2018; Keller, Hartmann, & Siegrist, 2016), it is possible that Chinese people might have lower levels of the four food-approach traits measured by the Chinese translation of the AEBQ (C-AEBQ). It is also possible that the level of Slowness in Eating of the C-AEBQ might be higher in Chinese compared with Western participants, as Chinese culinary culture regard slow eating as healthy and elegant (Counihan, & Van Esterik, 2012).…”

The current study examined the factor structure, measurement reliability, measurement invariance across genders, and latent gender mean differences, of a new Chinese translation of the Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire (C-AEBQ) in a Chinese young adult sample ( n = 1,068, 52.57% women). The associations between the appetitive traits assessed by the AEBQ and body mass index were also explored. The previously established eight-factor model of the AEBQ was supported in the present sample. The C-AEBQ had strong measurement invariance between genders. Cronbach’s alpha estimates of the eight subscales of the C-AEBQ ranged from 0.76 to 0.97, and the test–retest reliability coefficients of the subscales ranged from 0.50 to 0.77. The C-AEBQ had adequate convergent and divergent validity, as supported by the theoretically expected correlations between C-AEBQ and the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire. Furthermore, Satiety Responsiveness, Slowness in Eating, and Food Fussiness were inversely associated with body mass index. Overall, the C-AEBQ appears to be a psychometrically sound instrument as a comprehensive measure for appetitive traits for Chinese young adults.

“…Research on the association between restraint and BMI/weight outcomes is mixed and thus, the nature of the relationship is, to date, not well understood (Savage et al, 2009;Williamson et al, 1995). Furthermore, very little research has examined associations between the two eating behaviors and dietary outcomes; the few existing studies suggest that high levels of disinhibition are associated with greater intakes of saturated fat, high-sugar and high-salt foods (Contento et al, 2005;Keller, Hartmann, & Siegrist, 2016) and high levels of restraint are related to lower intakes of dietary fat and higher intakes of fruit and vegetables (Contento et al, 2005;Moreira et al, 2005); however, further research with demographically and anthropometrically diverse samples is warranted in this area.…”
