“…Moreover, the association between restrictive eating and uncontrolled eating is significant and negative. The current findings are in line with previous studies demonstrating significant relationships between the above-mentioned variables [ 5 , 7 , 13 ]. A possible explanation for our outcomes is the current ideal of beauty.…”

“…All these interrelationships have been widely researched in many studies [ 5 ]. Based on these new outcomes [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], a new variable (uncontrolled eating) and new relationships (between uncontrolled and restrictive eating and other variables) were added to the model ( Figure 1 ). These studies show that body mass index (BMI) [ 7 , 10 ] and high-energy consumption [ 6 , 9 , 12 ] increase as uncontrolled eating increases.…”

The purpose of the present study was to provide an empirical verification of the Circle of Discontent with an assessment of its relationship to restrained and uncontrolled eating among children and adolescents. This study examined whether our results confirm a new hypothesized model. The total sample comprised 282 children and adolescents (148 girls and 134 boys; 141 participants with normal body weight and 141 with obesity). The mean age was 12.23 years (SD = 2.80), and the average BMI (body mass index) was 23.29 kg/m2 (SD = 6.27). The following were used: Positive and Negative Affect Scale for Children, Children’s Body Image Scale, Figure Rating Scale, Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire and Eating Disorders in Youth. The obtained values of the model fit indices proved the goodness of fit. Our findings show that obesity accompanies body dissatisfaction and uncontrolled and restrictive eating. Moreover, the higher the level of restrictive eating, the lower the level of uncontrolled eating. The relationships between body dissatisfaction, negative affect and restrictive eating, as well as that between uncontrolled eating and high-energy consumption, are significant and positive. Other relationships are non-significant. The above-mentioned relationships established in the Circle of Discontent, as well as relationships of restrained and uncontrolled eating with variables described in the circle, were confirmed. Based on our results, preventive strategies and psychological interventions can be created and may include changes in body image, eating behaviors and emotional functioning.

“…The questionnaire consists of 20 items, each with 3 answer options: "never", "sometimes", and "very often", which are rated on a scale from 1 to 3. Scoring was performed by the conventional method [8]. Unhealthy type of EB was diagnosed if the average value of the scores exceeded the average for restrictive, emotional and external EB in patients with normal weight, which was 1.6; 1.3 and 2.0, respectively.…”

Aim – to study the features of the eating behavior (EB) in children with different forms of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - simple steatosis (SS) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), to compare the obtained data with the eating behavior of children without liver steatosis. 120 patients aged 7 to 16 years were examined, the average age of the patients was (12.00 ± 2.56) years. The presence and degree of liver steatosis was determined by transient elastography using a FibroScan®502Touch with an assessment of CAP (controlled attenuation parameter). According to the CAP, gender-specific alanine aminotransferase levels and body mass index, patients were divided into 4 groups: 1 group consisted of 26 patients with NASH, 2 group – of 44 patients with SS, 3 group – of 35 patients with obesity without liver steatosis, 4 group (control) – of 15 patients with normal weight without metabolic disorders. The groups were homogeneous in age. Assessment of EB was carried out using the pediatric modification of the Dutch eating behavior questionnaire (DEBQ-C). It was found that most patients with SS (75,0%) and NASH (87,5%) demonstrated an emotional type of EB. The restrictive type of EB was predominant in obese children without hepatic steatosis (73,7%). The total score of the restrictive type of EB in children of the 3 group was significantly higher compared with the data of the 4 group (p<0,05). The external type of EB occurred in 25% of children with SS and was not observed in children with NASH. Thus, children with NAFLD and obesity are characterized by an increased incidence of various types of unhealthy eating behavior compared to children with normal weight, which requires appropriate correction and involvement of psychologists in a team of specialists involved in the health care of the obese children.

“…Items are rated on a 3‐point scale (1 = “no,” 2 = “sometimes,” and 3 = “yes”). The DEBQ‐C has shown good internal consistency and convergent validity in community samples of youth aged 7–16, with DEBQ‐C scores demonstrating positive associations with both dysregulated eating behavior and BMI (Czepczor‐Bernat & Brytek‐Matera, 2019; van Strien & Oosterveld, 2008). In the current sample, Cronbach's alpha was .74 for the emotional eating subscale, .70 for the external eating subscale, and .65 for the restrained eating subscale.…”

Objective Parental factors have been linked to weight‐related outcomes in children, though less is known regarding the role of parental self‐efficacy (PSE) for promoting healthy dietary behaviors (HDBs). This study examined associations between PSE for promoting HDBs and child reports of craving, overeating, and loss of control eating in daily life. The interactive effects of PSE and child eating style (emotional eating, external eating, and restraint) were also explored. Method Thirty‐eight youth (ages 8–14; 55.3% female) with overweight/obesity and their parents completed the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire for Children (DEBQ‐C) and Parental Self‐Efficacy for Healthy Dietary and Physical Activity Behaviors Scale, respectively. Youth completed ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to report craving, overeating, and loss of control eating. Results Generalized estimating equations indicated no consistent main effects of PSE on EMA outcomes, but PSE interacted with DEBQ‐C child eating styles to predict each EMA outcome. Among children of parents with lower PSE, (a) higher emotional eating was associated with greater overeating and loss of control eating; (b) higher external eating was associated with greater craving; and (c) higher restraint was associated with greater loss of control eating and craving. Conversely, these associations were attenuated among children of parents with higher PSE. Discussion Together findings suggest the interplay of child characteristics and PSE regarding children's eating behaviors warrants future investigation in the context of eating and weight disorders. In particular, further research is needed to examine the directionality of effects and mechanisms underlying these associations.
