Seemingly trivial eating habits, such as eating too fast, have been linked to diverse and rather serious health issues. While technology-mediated interventions have leveraged several strategies to promote healthy dietary habits, designing successful pervasive interventions remains challenging. This thesis first offers three contributions with the aim of assisting in the design of eating interventions: 1) a review of 62 studies which focused on interventions targeting eating habits; 2) a generative design framework with multiple design parameters; and, 3) an exploration of the potential efficacy of the developed framework. These contributions will improve

“…Since there is no universally accepted definition of mindful eating, only its most commonly described features can be presented here. These include the recognition of internal and external cues of hunger and satiety that have an impact on food choices and portion sizes; focusing attention and awareness on the process of eating including the taste, smell, texture and sight of the meal; slowing the rate of eating; encouraging a non-judgmental acceptance of food, its environment, and one's physical and emotional reactions to them; minimizing distractions while eating; and being aware of the consequences of mindless eating (Mathieu 2009;Monroe 2015). Indeed, research reveals that practicing mindful eating specifically enables individuals to recognize why they eat, facilitates noticing hunger and satiety cues and giving appropriate reactions to them.…”

Objectives Mindful eating has been suggested to contribute a healthier relationship to food. However, its conceptualization and operationalization need further investigation. Our aim was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Hungarian version of the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ). Methods A cross-sectional survey study including a sample of Hungarian university students (N = 323) was conducted to unveil the construct validity of the MEQ. Results The results of the confirmatory factor analysis revealed an inadequate fit to the original model. Applying exploratory factor analysis (EFA) confirmed the presence of the original five factors with minor deviations from the original structure. Correlation coefficients between factors ranged from − 0.36 to 0.52. As a further step, principal component analysis of the primary factors uncovered two second-order components, self-regulation, and awareness. A multivariate regression analysis with structural equation modeling revealed that higher levels of self-regulation in eating were positively related to trait mindfulness (β = 0.13, p < 0.05) and negatively related to uncontrolled eating (β = − 0.20, p < 0.05), emotional eating (β = − 0.40, p < 0.05), and meditation practice (β = − 0.12, p < 0.05). In turn, awareness was related to lower body mass index (β = − 0.20, p < 0.05) and higher levels of emotional eating (β = 0.20, p < 0.05). Conclusions These results suggest inadequate coherence of the subscales and an unclear locus of mindful eating within the nomological network of related constructs. Our study contributes to the progress in the measurement of mindful eating by highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the MEQ. The outcome of the construct validation testing implies the need for further exploration of mindful eating.

Food overconsumption: Concept and its measurement

Food overconsumption has serious and far‐reaching effects on people, including obesity, negative health outcomes, reduced life expectancy, and financial hardship. Attempts to understand the underlying factors that contribute to food overconsumption are undermined by a lack of clarity about the concept of food overconsumption. This study reports the development of a scale to measure the extent to which individuals engage in food overconsumption (FOC). The FOC scale predicts many outcomes associated with excessive eating. The development of the scale, including item generation, scale refinement, and establishment of its reliability are first reported. This is followed by analyses showing that the FOC is distinct from clinical conditions associated with various eating disorders and measured using well‐established scales (e.g., power‐of‐food scale, three‐factor eating questionnaire, and Dutch eating behavior questionnaire). Based on multiple studies, additional analysis is reported showing that the FOC scale is a reliable and valid measure that can be used to measure food overconsumption. Implications of these findings are also discussed.
