“…Internal consistency was α = 0.633 in the current study. Note that the term dieting success when referring to PSRS scores will be used throughout this manuscript for the sake of brevity, although other descriptions such as successful weight regulation would also be appropriate (Houben et al, 2012; Friese et al, 2015). …”

“…For example, self-perceived dieting success has been found to be differentially related to activation and inhibition of dieting goals in response to palatable food cues (Papies et al, 2008; Stroebe et al, 2008; Van Koningsbruggen et al, 2011a,b, 2012), to facets of food craving experiences (Meule et al, 2012a), to the use of dietary control strategies (Meule et al, 2011), and to food intake in the laboratory (Houben et al, 2012; Friese et al, 2015). Differential associations have also been reported with general measures of self-regulatory ability such as impulsivity or cardiac autonomic regulation (Meule et al, 2012b; van Koningsbruggen et al, 2013).…”

Dieting and Food Cue-Related Working Memory Performance

Executive functioning (e.g., working memory) is tightly intertwined with self-regulation. For example, food cue-elicited craving has been found to impair working memory performance. Furthermore, current dieters have been found to show lower working memory performance than non-dieters. Recent research, however, suggests that it is crucial to consider dieting success in addition to current dieting status or restrained eating in order to reveal cognitive mechanisms that are associated with successful eating-related self-regulation. The current study investigated food cue-related working memory performance as a function of dieting status and dieting success in female students. Participants performed an n-back task with pictures of food and neutral objects. Reaction time in response to food pictures was slower than in response to neutral pictures, whereas omission errors did not differ between picture types. Current food craving was increased after performing the food block, but not after the neutral block. There was an indirect effect of current dieting status on higher food craving after the food block, which was mediated by slower reaction time to food vs. neutral pictures. Furthermore, higher dieting success was associated with fewer omission errors in the food vs. neutral block in current dieters. There were no relationships of restrained eating with current food craving and task performance. Results further highlight the need to differentiate between successful and unsuccessful dieting in addition to current dieting status or restrained eating when examining possible mechanisms of overeating or successful restraint. Although palatable food cues induce food craving regardless of dieting success, they may boost executive functioning in successful dieters, which helps them to overcome these temptations.

“…The mean age of the sample was 21.3 years ( SD = 2.4 years) and the mean BMI was 20.7 ( SD = 2.1). Data from five subjects were excluded because of eating more than 2.5 standard deviations from the overall mean ( n = 2; McClelland, 2000), previously participating in studies where they were offered food ( n = 2; Lawrence et al, 2015), or being a multivariate outlier in the multiple regression analyses ( n = 1; Studentized deleted residual >3 and Cook’s Distance >0.15; Friese et al, 2015). The inclusion of the five excluded participants in the analyses did not change the results.…”

The Effect of Implicit Preferences on Food Consumption: Moderating Role of Ego Depletion and Impulsivity

Ego depletion has been found to moderate the effect of implicit preferences on food consumption, such that implicit preferences predict consumption only under a depleted state. The present study tested how trait impulsivity impacts the effect of implicit preferences on food consumption in a depleted condition. Trait impulsivity was measured by means of self-report and a stop signal task. Results showed that both self-reported impulsivity and behavioral impulsivity moderated the ‘depletion and then eating according to implicit preferences’ effect, albeit in different ways. Participants high in self-reported impulsivity and low in behavioral impulsivity were more vulnerable to the effect of depletion on eating. The implications of these results for extant theories are discussed. Future research is needed to verify whether or not trait impulsivity is associated with vulnerability to depletion across different self-control domains.

“…Research indicates that people chronically low in trait self‐control consume unhealthier foods (e.g., de Ridder et al, ; Friese, Engeler, & Florack, ) and weigh more (Crescioni et al, ; Moffitt et al, ) than do those high in self‐control. Furthermore, a 4‐month study of dieters found that those low in self‐control were less able to resist their food desires, consumed more unhealthy foods, and lost less weight than their high counterparts (Hofmann, Adriaanse, Vohs, & Baumeister, ).…”

“…Beyond the lab, a 3‐week diary study found that on days in which participants exerted a great deal of self‐control, they were more likely to drink alcohol, become intoxicated, and violate their self‐imposed drinking limits (Muraven, Collins, Morsheimer, Shiffman, & Paty, ). And a study on food consumption found that participants who exerted prior self‐control ate more cookies during a taste‐testing task than did those with no prior exertion (Friese et al, ).…”

Lead us not into temptation: The seven deadly sins as a taxonomy of temptations

People constantly experience a tug‐of‐war between their self‐control on one end and their temptations on the other. Although a great deal of research has examined such self‐control dilemmas, much of it has focused on the “push” of self‐control rather than the “pull” of temptations. To facilitate future work on this latter construct, we sought to create a taxonomy of temptations. Using a top‐down approach, we relied on the philosophical and historical concept of the seven deadly sins—gluttony, greed, lust, sloth, envy, pride, and wrath—to identify and define the most commonly experienced temptations. In support of this taxonomy, we review evidence for the role that self‐control plays in resisting each of these seven temptation domains, including work on trait self‐control and momentary exertions of self‐control. Where applicable, we identify areas where research is lacking and make suggestions for future work. Lastly, we discuss how this taxonomy offers researchers both theoretical and practical benefits.
