“…To assess eating styles, the German version of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire - DEBQ [ 49 – 51 ] will be used. The DEBQ is a questionnaire consisting of 30 items with three different subscales for the eating styles: Emotional eating (eating due to an emotional state, such as anger or sadness), restrained eating (restricting food intake due to weight concerns), and external eating (eating because of external cues, such as the sight or smell of delicious food).…”

Background The transition to parenthood represents a critical life period with psychosocial, and behavioral changes and challenges for parents. This often increases stress and leads to unhealthy weight gain in families, especially in psychosocially burdened families. Although universal and selective prevention programs are offered to families, specific support often fails to reach psychosocially burdened families. Digital technologies are a chance to overcome this problem by enabling a low-threshold access for parents in need. However, there is currently a lack of smartphone-based interventions that are tailored to the needs of psychosocially burdened families. Aims The research project I-PREGNO aims to develop and evaluate a self-guided, smartphone-based intervention in combination with face-to-face counseling delivered by healthcare professionals for the prevention of unhealthy weight gain and psychosocial problems. The intervention is specifically tailored to the needs of psychosocially burdened families during the pregnancy and postpartum period. Methods In two cluster randomized controlled trials in Germany and Austria (N = 400) psychosocially burdened families will be recruited and randomized to i) treatment as usual (TAU), or ii) I-PREGNO intervention (self-guided I-PREGNO app with counseling sessions) and TAU. We expect higher acceptance and better outcomes on parental weight gain and psychosocial stress in the intervention group. Discussion The intervention offers a low cost and low-threshold intervention and considers the life situation of psychosocially burdened families who are a neglected group in traditional prevention programs. After positive evaluation, the intervention may easily be implemented in existing perinatal care structures in European countries such as Germany and Austria. Trial registration Both trials were registered prospectively at the German Clinical Trials Register (Germany: DRKS00029673; Austria: DRKS00029934) in July and August 2022.

“…Now the question arises that whether personality of an individual is also a factor in determining what we are eating. Some studies have demonstrated the importance of an individual's personality traits in shaping the cognitive, emotional, and conative components of an individual's eating behaviour (Grunert, 1989; Vainik, Dubé, Lu, Fellows, 2015).…”

We live in a society that is obsessed with food. Most people fall somewhere in between, and we all tend to have different tastes and affinities. However, there has been little research done on finding a link between someone’s personality and his or her eating habits, and it looks like there may be certain traits that make us more likely to engage in specific eating behaviors.

“…Field et al [21] showed that environmental values explain food shopping behaviour, with food co-operative shoppers unwilling to subordinate ecology to price. Grunert [22] found that personality traits like self-consciousness and body consciousness account for some variance in eating behaviour. Explanatory ability of personality traits was not very high.…”
