“…A positive correlation (r = 0.23, p < 0.01) between dietary LH and BMI was detected. This finding is consistent with past research indicating that certain explanatory styles and feelings of helplessness are present in overweight subjects (Carmody, Brunner, & Jeor, 1995;Hockley, 1979;O'Connor & Dowrick, 1987). Since a high BMI (>25) is recognized as a risk factor for several medical conditions such as heart disease, type II diabetes, and arthritis (Maty, Lynch, Raghunathan, & Kaplan, 2008;Sahyoun, Hochberg, Helnick, Harris, & Pamuk, 1999), this finding underscores the importance of an understanding of the possible interaction between dietary KC and LH as a predictor of dietary choice quality.…”

Finally, consistent with prior research (Carmody, Brunner, & Jeor, 1995;Jayanti & Burns, 1998), a negative correlation (r = −0.43, p < 0.01) between dietary LH and dietary choice quality was also detected.…”

Prior research suggests that knowledge calibration (KC) supports consumers’ maintenance of a healthy diet. However, no previous studies have considered that learned helpless consumers may refrain from using their knowledge, even though they may be fully aware that they possess it. This research gap is considered in three studies. Study 1 investigates the moderating effect of learned helplessness (LH) by means of a cross‐sectional survey. Studies 2 and 3 are online choice studies. Besides from replicating Study 1, Studies 2 and 3 eliminate potential social desirability bias by objectively measuring respondents’ dietary choice quality. In addition, Study 3 takes into account the possibility that respondents’ responses may be biased by food preferences, medical conditions, and/or food allergies. Moreover, Studies 2 and 3 both investigate the consequences of the findings on consumers who live under a dieting regime. These studies demonstrate that consumers suffering from LH do not stand to gain from calibrating their dietary knowledge to the same degree as other consumers. It is also shown that dieting behavior has a tendency to weaken this negative moderating effect of LH on the relationship between KC and dietary choice quality. Finally, the implications of the findings for marketers and public policymakers are discussed.

“…For instance, high Disinhibition was associated with novelty seeking, impulsiveness, and negatively related to selfdirectedness (an inability to resist external cues), which is related to the high Disinhibition individuals' tendency towards over-eating. In two further studies by Carmody et al (66,67), Disinhibition was positively related to dietary helplessness, while Restraint was inversely related. Women were found to have higher Disinhibition, Restraint and dietary helplessness compared with men.…”

Disinhibition: its effects on appetite and weight regulation

Over the past 30 years, the understanding of eating behaviour has been dominated by the concept of dietary restraint. However, the development of the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), introduced two other factors; Disinhibition and Hunger, which have not received as much recognition in the literature. The objective of this review is to explore the relationship of the Disinhibition factor to weight regulation, food choice and eating disorders, and to consider its etiology. The review indicates that Disinhibition is an important eating behaviour trait. It is not only associated with a higher BMI and obesity, but also with mediating variables, such as less healthful food choices, which contribute to overweight/obesity and poorer health. Disinhibition is also implicated in eating disorders and contributes to eating disorder severity. It has been demonstrated that Disinhibition is predictive of poorer success at weight loss, and of weight regain during weight loss regimes and is associated with lower self-esteem, low physical activity and poor psychological health. Disinhibition therefore, emerges as an important and dynamic trait, with influences that go beyond eating behaviour and incorporate other behaviours which contribute to weight regulation and obesity. The characteristics of Disinhibition itself therefore reflect many components representative of a thrifty type of physiology. We propose that the trait of Disinhibition could be more appropriately renamed as 'Opportunistic Eating' or 'Thrifty Behaviour'.
