The three-factor eating questionnaire to measure dietary restraint, disinhibition and hunger

TL;DR: The first step was a collation of items from two existing questionnaires that measure the related concepts of 'restrained eating' and 'latent obesity', to which were added items newly written to elucidate these concepts.

Binge eating as escape from self-awareness.

TL;DR: It is proposed that binge eating is motivated by a desire to escape from self-awareness, and the escape model is capable of integrating much of the available evidence about binge eating.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of pre-exposure to food cues on the eating behavior of restrained and unrestrained eaters

Restrained and unrestrained eating

TL;DR: Nisbett's model of obesity implies that individual differences in relative deprivation within obese and normal weight groups should produce corresponding within-group differences in eating behavior, but consideration was given to the concept of "restraint" as an important behavioral mechanism affecting the expression of physiologically-based hungar.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anxiety, restraint, and eating behavior.

TL;DR: The results indicated that although some individuals may eat more when anxious, there is little empirical support for the notion that eating serves to reduce anxiety, and the psychosomatic hypothesis of obesity had failed to find confirmation.

Obese Humans and Rats

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the behavioural similarities of obese humans and animals whose so-called feeding centre (the ventro-medial hypothalamic nuclei) has been lesioned and found that both the obese human and the VMH-lesioned animal seem to share a hyposensitivity to internal (physiological) cues to eating and hypersensitivity to external cues associated with food.

Perception of calories and regulation of intake in restrained and unrestrained subjects

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that restrait rather than obesity is the relevant dimension and reexamined these phenomena and found that restrained subjects who perceived the preload as high calorie ate more sandwiches than those who thought the pre load to be low calorie, while unrestrained subjects did the reverse.
