“…Secondly, the used questionnaire for the assessment of adolescents' dietary habits and nutrition knowledge was not fully validated only revised and previously tested on a small group of participants without subsequent statistical analysis. Nevertheless, examined habits and behaviours were relevant because they were previously confirmed as those which might lead to eating disorders and obesity (Miccoli et al, 2018). Furthermore, the accuracy of the self-reported anthropometric data depends on various factors such as frequency of control, and willingness to report accurate data, hence reporting bias cannot be excluded.…”

The potential association between determinants such as nutrition knowledge and dietary habits with obesity development among adolescents of generation Z (Zoomers) was investigated in the presented study. Data regarding meals consumption frequency, snack choice and familiarity with amounts of basic food nutrients in diet were gathered throughout a self-designed questionnaire from 854 adolescents (11-18 years) attending elementary and secondary schools in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. The corresponding data was analysed and discussed primarily concerning BMI-forage , and subsequently, gender and educational stage. The association between BMI categories and examined determinants was tested using chi-square and multinomial logistic regression statistics. Although most of the surveyed adolescents had normal weight (72.1%), a notable share of overweight adolescents was also detected (17.9%). Additionally, observed irregularities in breakfast and dinner consumption frequencies and participants' modest nutrition knowledge can contribute to further diet deterioration. Statistically significant but weak associations between BMI-forage and choice of snack, dinner consumption frequency, as well as the frequency of salty snack and fast food consumption, were noted. Furthermore, an increase in nutrition knowledge was inversely associated with obesity prevalence (OR 6.56, 95% CI 1.388-31.037). As an outcome, the need for improvement regarding studied determinants especially nutrition knowledge is established and represents a task to achieve through health promotion strategies among generation Z.

“…Thus, the IAPS has become one of the most widely used standardized instruments in experimental research for emotional assessment with pictures (Moltó et al, 2013). In Spain, different adaptation studies for the adult population have been carried out (Moltó et al, 1999(Moltó et al, , 2013Vila et al, 2001), and the IAPS has been used to study how different emotional stimuli influence other cognitive processes such as memory (Fernández-Rey and Redondo, 2007;Gordillo-León et al, 2010), learning (López et al, 2009;Redondo and Méndez, 2011), and attention (García and Calvo, 2010), as well as its use in the field of addictions (Aguilar et al, 2008(Aguilar et al, , 2011, distress (Zangróniz et al, 2017), and eating and weight disorders (Miccoli et al, 2014(Miccoli et al, , 2018.…”

Emotional Assessment in Spanish Youths With Antisocial Behavior

et al. 2021

Impaired emotional capacity in antisocial populations is a well-known reality. Taking the dimensional approach to the study of emotion, emotions are perceived as a disposition to action; they emerge from arousal of the appetitive or aversive system, and result in subjective, behavioral, and physiological responses that are modulated by the dimensions of valence, arousal, and dominance. This study uses the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) to study the interaction between the type of picture presented (pleasant, neutral, or unpleasant) and group (adolescents under custody in juvenile justice centers, adolescents under non-custodial measures, and secondary school students) in the emotional assessment of these dimensions. The interaction between the study variables was statistically significant. Statistically significant differences were found between the three types of pictures presented, in the ratings of unpleasant pictures between the custody group and the group of secondary students in regular schooling in valence, and in the ratings of unpleasant, neutral, and pleasant pictures in arousal, between the custody group and all groups. Discriminant analyses of each affective dimension indicate that the unpleasant pictures with violent and/or aggressive content tend to be in the functions that most differentiate the antisocial groups.

“…From a more theoretical perspective, con rming that subclinical BN symptoms are also accompanied by altered reactivity to food and body-related cues would further support the necessity of such prevention programs and help re ning their target. Previous ndings of altered response to high-calorie food cues in adolescents with risky dieting practices (35) and in women with binge-purge eating patterns (9) suggest as a whole that food processing disturbances are present also at subclinical levels of the disorder. However, erotic cue processing has not been previously investigated in nonclinical women with bulimic symptoms.…”

Background: Studies on food cue reactivity have documented that altered responses to high-calorie food are associated with bulimic symptomatology, however, alterations in sexual motivations and behaviors are also associated clinical features for this population, which justify their inclusion as a research target. Here, we study responses to erotic cues – alongside neutral and aversive cues – to gain an understanding of specificity to food vs. a generalized sensitivity to primary reinforcers. Methods: We recorded peripheral psychophysiological indices –the startle reflex, zygomaticus, and corrugator responses– and self-reported emotional responses (valence, arousal, and dominance) in 75 women that were presented with the Spanish version of the Bulimia Test-Revised (BULIT-R). Multiple regression analysis tested whether BULIT-R symptoms were predicted by self-reported and psychophysiological responses to food vs. neutral and erotic vs. neutral images. Results: The results showed that individuals with higher bulimic symptoms were characterized by potentiated eye blink startle response during binge food (vs. neutral images) and more positive valence ratings during erotic (vs. neutral) cues. Conclusions: The results highlight the negative emotional reactivity of individuals with elevated bulimic symptoms toward food cues, which could be related to the risk of progression to full bulimia nervosa and thereby addressed in prevention efforts. Results also point to the potential role of reactivity to erotic content, at least on a subjective level. Theoretical models of eating disorders should widen their conceptual scope to consider reactivity to a broader spectrum of primary reinforcers, which would have implications for cue exposure-based treatments.
