Showing papers in "Appetite in 2014"

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to evaluate the existing literature for evidence supporting a cyclic obesity/weight-based stigma model, propose ways in which individuals enter, fight against, and exit the cycle, and conclude by outlining fruitful future directions in this nascent yet important area of research.

TL;DR: The results show that strategies to change meat eating frequencies and meat portion sizes will appeal to overlapping but partly different segments of consumers and that these strategies can be applied to address consumers in terms of their own preferences.

TL;DR: Impulsivity was found to be indirectly associated with BMI by way of associations with addictive consumption of food, and an inclination toward behaving irrationally while experiencing negative mood states and low levels of task persistence were significantly associated with food addiction directly.

TL;DR: This paper reviews several of the major promotional campaigns from around the world and provides analysis of their level of success, with a view to developing novel approaches for formulating more effective marketing and promotional interventions that will prompt significant change.

TL;DR: This review compiles child feeding research that has included fathers and highlights focal areas for future research including the need to recruit diverse samples of fathers and utilize measures validated for use with fathers.

TL;DR: The results show that although health is an important aspect for both functional food and organic food consumption, these two forms of consumption were influenced by different understandings of health: organicFood consumption is influenced by an overall holistic healthy lifestyle including a healthy diet and sport, while functional food consumption is characterized by small "adjustments" to lifestyle to enhance health and to increase psychological well-being.

TL;DR: Results indicate that children are aware of their parents' eating behaviors and on occasion report this behavior similarly to their parents, and parents should be encouraged to utilize the opportunity to role model healthful dietary intake, especially at snacks, where consumption of F&V appears low.

TL;DR: It was hypothesized that exposure to a description of a vegetarian would lead omnivores to embrace dissonance-reducing strategies and four experiments supported this prediction and found that authentic vegetarians, vegetarians freely making the decision to abandon meat, consistent vegetarian, and anticipating moral reproach from vegetarians produced greater endorsement of dissonances-red reducing strategies than their counterpart conditions.

TL;DR: Results provided the first preliminary evidence that interventions aimed at targeting impulsive eating-related processes via the internet can facilitate weight loss.

TL;DR: The responses of focus group participants in relation to each of the dietary practices outlined are considered, and suggestions on ways to encourage a more environmentally viable diet are offered.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that involving children in meal preparation can increase vegetable intake, and parents need to be made aware of appropriate portion sizes for their children.

TL;DR: The efficacy of tDCS in temporarily lowering food cravings is supported and the moderating role of TD behaviour is identified, which indicates that participants that exhibited more reflective choice behaviour were more susceptible to the anti-craving effects of t stimulation.

TL;DR: It is shown that food-associated cues will not only bias choice toward the signaled food, but also enhance the vigor of responding generally (general transfer), which point to a mechanism that may underlie the powerful control that cues in the authors' obesogenic environment exert over their behavior.

TL;DR: Although no significant differences between both kinds of fish were detected on safety, in general farmed fish was perceived to be less affected by marine pollution, heavy metals and parasites, and wild fish was considered to have healthier feeding and to be fresher, healthier, less handled and more natural.

TL;DR: Investigation of the relations between temporal discounting rate and body mass while accounting for important demographic variables, depressive symptoms, and behavioral inhibition and approach found a higher body mass was strongly related to choosing a more immediate monetary reward.

TL;DR: Results suggest that attention mediates the effect of nutrition labels on choice, and products with color-coded and monochrome GDAs had the highest likelihood of being chosen, and this effect was related to the attention-getting property of the label.

TL;DR: A focus on maternal parenting specifically relating to screen-time and diet, and father's physical activity parenting and weight status may support their children in developing more healthy behaviors.

TL;DR: It is observed that active DLPFC tDCS, compared with sham stimulation, reduced the frontal N2 component and enhanced the P3a component of responses to No-go stimuli, regardless of the stimulus condition (food or furniture).

TL;DR: The intervention was effective in reducing food neophobia and, most importantly, a persistent effect was observed 6 months after the intervention as children of the experimental group showed significantly lower neophobia scores than the control group.

TL;DR: The associations of encouragement and covert control with desirable child dietary behaviors were found to be stronger for children who were reared in a positive parenting context, and the influence of contextual parenting factors moderating the relationships between food parenting and child dietary behavior should be assessed.

TL;DR: The results support the idea that behaviours that require stopping a response, such as limiting saturated fat intake, have different determinants to those that require the initiation of a response such as fruit and vegetable consumption.

TL;DR: Palatable Eating Motives Scale (PEMS) as mentioned in this paper ) is a self-report measure adapted from the Drinking Motives Questionnaire Revised (DMQ-R) to measure individual motives for eating tasty foods.

TL;DR: Systematic review methodology was adopted to evaluate the psychological outcomes of weight loss following participation in a behavioural and/or dietary weight loss intervention in overweight/obese populations and demonstrated consistent improvements in psychological outcomes concurrent with and sometimes without weight loss.

TL;DR: Reducing the plate size does not seem to be an appropriate intervention to reduce the total energy intake in order to promote weight loss, and using a large plate might be a simple and inexpensive strategy to increase vegetable consumption.

TL;DR: A theoretical framework in which both parental feeding goals and practices impact specific healthy and unhealthy child eating behaviors is examined, suggesting the important role of habitual food parenting practices in children's eating and have implications for parental health education programs.

TL;DR: How attractively food is plated can affect liking for the flavor of the food and could be used to increase acceptance of "healthy" foods.

TL;DR: Analysis of relationships between child emotional eating and both general and specific parenting constructs as well as maternal symptoms of depression and binge eating among a treatment-seeking sample of overweight children suggests that emotional feeding practices in parents may be related to emotional eating in children.

TL;DR: The internal structure of the Spanish version of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire showed that the internal structure was similar to the theoretical proposal, although items associated with boredom and idleness presented cross-loading problems.

TL;DR: The spatial cueing paradigm indicated a stimulus engagement effect in the BED group but not in the CG, suggesting that an early locus in stimulus processing contributes to differences between BED patients and obese controls.
