“…Task-induced depression 15,16 and fear [17][18][19] both increased food intake in restrained eaters while decreasing or not changing the eating of unrestrained participants. This methodology, in which highly palatable snack foods are presented during or immediately after mood induction, has great potential for exploring the antecedents of binge eating.…”

Negative mood-induced overeating in obese binge eaters: an experimental study

OBJECTIVES:To test the hypotheses that induction of negative mood in obese binge eaters would increase food intake, and that this would be greatest in those who were highly restrained. DESIGN: Experimental manipulation of mood (neutral vs sad film) prior to the presentation of food in a taste test. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 40 obese female binge eaters (41.7 y, mean BMI ¼ 40.2 kg/m 2 ). MEASURES: Visual analogue assessment of mood and hunger motivation, dietary restraint (Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire), and food intake. RESULTS: Exposure to the sad film resulted in a significant decrease in mood for both restrained and unrestrained participants. Those in the negative mood condition ate significantly more food, and the restrained eaters consumed the most. However, the expected restraint by mood interaction just failed to reach significance (P ¼ 0.06) CONCLUSIONS: The salience of negative mood in promoting overeating was confirmed. Conversely, dietary restraint had no significant impact on food intake. Further experimental work on binge eating in this group would be of value in clarifying the role of dieting and informing treatment approaches.

“…All four of the studies of obese dieters replicated the laboratory finding (Cools et al, 1992;Frost et al, 1982;Ruderman, 1985Ruderman, , 1986Schotte et al, 1990) that negative moods are associated with dietary lapses and three of them replicated the finding (Cools et al, 1992) that positive moods are associated with dietary lapses (all except Schlundt et al, 1989). Of the three studies that explored the role of hunger, two (Carels et al, 2004;Schlundt et al, 1989) replicated the laboratory findings (Herman & Polivy, 1975, 1984) that hunger was not associated with overeating among dieters, while one found that hunger was associated (Carels et al, 2001).…”

“…These studies have consistently shown that restrained eaters consume more when anxious than when not anxious, while unrestrained eaters either consume less when anxious than when not anxious, or are unaffected by anxiety. Studies using mood inductions have also found that food intake among restrained eaters increases with other negative moods, such as depression and anger (Cools, Schotte, & McNally, 1992;Frost, Goolkasian, Ely, & Blanchard, 1982;Schotte, Cools, & McNally, 1990; Understanding the triggers of eating in everyday life is crucial for the creation of interventions to promote healthy eating and to prevent overeating. Here, the proximal predictors of eating are explored in a natural setting.…”

“…Herman and Polivy (1980) have proposed that obese people are more likely to eat in response to external and emotional cues because of their tendency towards dietary restraint, rather than as a result of their obesity per se. This proposal has been supported by laboratory and naturalistic studies demonstrating that negative emotional states such as anxiety (Herman & Polivy, 1975;Polivy, Herman, & McFarlane, 1994) and depressed mood (Baucom & Aiken, 1981;Cooper & Bowskill, 1986;Frost, Goolkasian, & Ely, 1982;Ruderman, 1985;Schotte et al, 1990) induce overeating in restrained eaters but not in unrestrained eaters.…”

Obesity has been described by the World Health Organisation as a global epidemic, and is perceived as a major health concern due to the associated medical, psychosocial, and economic problems. One approach of understanding obesity is directed towards exploring the psychological and social determinants underlying nonhungry eating (NHE) (eating without physical sensations associated with hunger) and overeating (eating past the physiological sensations of fullness). The immediate psychosocial cues that trigger NHE and overeating, along with the psychosocial antecedents that influence NHE and overeating have been found to be important contributors to obesity.This research incorporated two studies. Study 1 involved self-report questionnaires comparing the antecedents and cues that influence NHE and overeating among men and women who were obese, overweight, and of a healthy weight (HWR). Study 2 adopted a case study approach to explore individual antecedents and triggers of NHE and overeating among three obese participants.Findings indicated that HWR, overweight, and obese people differed in the antecedents and cues that influenced their eating behaviours, which were particularly borne out in quantitative data. In addition, females and males differed in their reported antecedents and cues. For example, across all three weight groups, more females than males were restricting their food intake in attempt to lose weight, which can result in future NHE and overeating. In addition, overweight females reported the highest levels of non-hungry eating, emotional eating and external eating, compared to all other groups. Males of a healthy weight reported the lowest amounts of both NHE and restrained eating of the six groups (crossing 2 x gender and 3 x weight groups).Interestingly, eating in response to external cues was least common in overweight ii males. Compared to the other weight groups, more overweight participants reported they ate quickly and at predetermined times, and that food had been used as a reward or to soothe pain throughout childhood. Overweight participants ate more frequently in response to positive emotions and experienced more negative emotions after overeating than healthy weight or obese participants.Although distinct patterns of eating behaviour were observed for males and females within the separate weight categories, variability was also evident within the groups, suggesting that despite having similar body mass indexes, antecedents and cues that maintain individuals' weights vary.Results of the qualitative study also highlight the diverse cues and antecedents that can contribute to an individual becoming and maintaining an obese weight. What is clear from both studies is that no one eating pattern typifies a particular weight group, in the case of healthy, overweight, or obese individuals. In addition, people who are overweight need to become a priority for obesity research, in order to increase the understanding of the psychology of why and how people transgress from an overweight to an ob...
