“…For example, the construct of mood intolerance may comprehend a broad range of adverse mood states. In line with this, recent empirical evidence shows that LC may be associated with different affect regulation strategies in community samples [12] as well as in overweight youngsters [33], depending on which adverse mood state has to be regulated. Because of practical reasons however, we exclusively focused on the role of depressive symptoms in the present study.…”

Restraint and depression in overweight youth 2 Footnote 1: Since our inpatient sample has to complete a rather large standard battery of several assessment instruments at the start of their treatment, we were limited with regard to adding extra instruments to the assessment battery. Although we are aware that the concept of mood intolerance encompasses a broad range of adverse mood states, we opted to focus exclusively on examining the role of depressive symptoms (further described as the 'depression pathway').Footnote 2: It needs to be remarked that it was not the purpose of the present study to test the entire CBT-E [19]. The CBT-E entails some other additional mechanisms as well (such as the role of perfectionism and core low self-esteem). However, in the present study, our main focus was reserved on those variables that, according to the theory, appear to be directly associated with binge eating. Also, we are aware that all variables that were investigated in the present study are intrapersonal and that interpersonal variables (such as adverse life events) may also contribute to eating pathology. Restraint and depression in overweight youth 3 AbstractObjective. This study investigated the dietary restraint and depression pathway to loss of control over eating among a sample of overweight youngsters based on the assumptions of the extended cognitive behavioural theory for bulimia nervosa. Methods. TheChildren's version of the Eating Disorder Examination interview and the Children's Depression Inventory were administered to 350 overweight youngsters (with a mean age of 13.30 years old). Results. Structural equation modelling indicated that the overevaluation of eating, weight and shape was significantly associated with dietary restraint, which in turn was significantly associated with loss of control over eating.Evidence was also found for a direct pathway between depressive symptoms and loss of control over eating. Conclusion. It can be concluded that in general, the main components to maintain the bulimic cycle in eating disordered patients operate in a similar way to maintain loss of control over eating in overweight youngsters.

“…During the 1-year follow-up period, 13 children developed binge-eating behavior (subjective or objective binge eating), obese children thereby being more likely to report binge-eating episodes when compared with normal and overweight children. 81 The findings of the latter study support cognitivebehavioral accounts of binge eating, and suggest that binge eating might be driven from a deficit in affect-regulation emotional eating as a response to an adverse arousal state 82 in combination with engaging in strict dietary restraint. According to Westenhöfer et al, 83 dietary restraint is not a homogenous construct, but includes rigid and flexible control.…”

Psychological correlates of childhood obesity

To enhance the prevention and intervention efforts of childhood obesity, there is a strong need for the early detection of psychological factors contributing to its development and maintenance. Rather than a stable condition, childhood obesity represents a dynamic process, in which behavior, cognition and emotional regulation interact mutually with each other. Family structure and context, that is, parental and familial attitudes, activity, nutritional patterns as well as familial stress, have an important role with respect to the onset and maintenance of overweight and obesity. Behavioral and emotional problems are found in many, though not all, obese children, with a higher prevalence in clinical, treatment-seeking samples. The interrelatedness between obesity and psychological problems seems to be twofold, in that clinically meaningful psychological distress might foster weight gain and obesity may lead to psychosocial problems. The most frequently implicated psychosocial factors are externalizing (impulsivity and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) and internalizing (depression and anxiety) behavioral problems and uncontrolled eating behavior. These findings strengthen the need to further explore the interrelatedness between psychological problems and childhood obesity.

“…A poor emotional regulation leads to emotional eating in adults (31,32,80) . Studies consistently report that emotional eating is often followed by negative emotions, also in children (81)(82)(83)(84)(85) . Consequently, emotional eating is the result of self-inability to regulate emotions, and this maladaptive strategy might underlie the relationship between emotional dysregulation and obesity by modifying dietary intake (50,51,65) .…”

The role of emotion regulation in childhood obesity: implications for prevention and treatment

et al. 2016

Stress and negative emotions pose a major threat to public health, by increasing the risk of obesity. Since the management process for emotions (emotion regulation; ER) is developed in childhood, we present a novel conceptual framework model for the role of ER in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity. A narrative review of the literature by electronic database search (MEDLINE, Web of Knowledge and Scopus) was conducted of observational and interventional/experimental literature on ER and obesity and the underlying concepts. We also present an overview of ER intervention techniques. Our model indicates that childhood ER is a link between stress and obesity. Stress along with ineffective ER leads to abnormal cortisol patterns, emotional eating, sedentary lifestyle, reduction of physical activity, and sleep problems. Simultaneously, a healthy lifestyle could show benefits on ER and in developing adaptive ER strategies. In the development of obesity and ER, parents also play a role. By contrast, effective ER skills decrease obesity-related unhealthy behaviour and enhance protective factors, which boost health. The literature contains some observational studies of children but very few intervention studies, most of which are pilot or on-going studies. In conclusion, encouraging effective ER could be a useful new approach for combating and treating childhood obesity. Future ER intervention studies are needed to confirm the validity of this model in children.
