“…The current results support the critical role of motivation in drinking (Cooper, 1994;Stewart & Devine, 2000) and eating behaviour (Boggiano et. al., 2015), as no direct associations between anxiety sensitivity or hopelessness and unhealthy snacking or hazardous drinking were observed, whereas accounting for a negative reinforcement motivecopingrevealed both direct and indirect relationships between personality characteristics, motivations and over-consumption.…”

“…However those who drink to cope have a heightened risk for developing alcohol dependence, compared to those who drink for enhancement (Cooper, Frone, Russell, & Mudar, 1995;Holahan et al, 2001;Kassel, Jackson, & Unrod, 2000;Merrill & Read, 2010). Similar evidence has been found in a study exploring the impact of motives on obesity, with stress positively associated with eating to cope and a higher BMI (Boggiano et al, 2015). Negative emotions may underscore coping motivations; individuals with elevated anxiety, stress, and depression symptoms reported having a 'food addiction,' and subsequently eating more confectionery, fast foods and unhealthy snacks (Burrows, Hides, Brown, Dayas, & Kay-Lambkin, 2017).…”

Background: Negative personality characteristics have been implicated in promoting overconsumption of both alcohol and food. Furthermore, positive motivations (enhancement) and negative motivations (coping) may mediate the association between personality and alcohol or food (over)consumption. Objectives: The present study hypothesised that i.) drinking to cope and ii.) eating to cope would mediate the association between hopelessness/anxiety sensitivity and hazardous drinking/unhealthy snacking, respectively, and iii.) eating and drinking to cope would represent separate strategies. Methods:Participants were recruited via opportunity sampling through university schemes, social media, email and web page advertisements. Questionnaires included the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, Substance Use Risk Profile Scale, Modified Drinking Motives Questionnaire Short Form, Palatable Eating Motives Scale and Snack/Meal Food Intake Measure. Results: Participants were 198 undergraduates, weight-related research volunteers and the public (83% female; 90% university educated). The hypothesised structural model fit the data well. As predicted, there were significant indirect associations between negative personality characteristics, hazardous drinking and unhealthy snacking via coping; specifically, individuals higher in anxiety sensitivity/hopelessness used food or alcohol to cope which, in turn, significantly predicted unhealthy snacking, and hazardous drinking, respectively. Importantly, drinking and eating to cope represented outcome-specific strategies, indicated by no significant association between eating to cope and hazardous drinking, or between drinking to cope and snacking. Conclusions: The current study demonstrates that coping motivations are critical to the relationship between negative personality characteristics and unhealthy behaviors and highlights the distinct negativereinforcement pathways associated with hazardous drinking and unhealthy snacking in majority university-educated females from the U.K.

Contextual factors associated with eating in the absence of hunger among adults with obesity

et al. 2017

Eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) is under-explored in adults with obesity. In this study, 50 adults with obesity recorded eating episodes and theoretically-relevant environmental, perceptual, and emotional correlates in the natural environment for 2 weeks via ecological momentary assessment (EMA). Generalized linear models and mixed models were used to characterize correlates and consequences of EAH vs. non-EAH episodes/tendencies (within-subjects and between-subjects effects, respectively), time of day, and time of day × EAH interactions. Approximately 21% of EMA-recorded eating episodes involved EAH, and 70% of participants reported at least 1 EAH episode. At the within-person level, participants’ EAH episodes were associated with greater self-labeled overeating than their non-EAH episodes. At the between-person level, participants who tended to engage in more EAH reported less self-labeled overeating than those who engaged in less EAH. Across EAH and non-EAH episodes, eating in the evening was associated with overeating, expecting eating to be more rewarding, greater alcoholic beverage consumption, eating alone, eating because others are eating, and eating while watching television. Significant EAH × time of day interactions were also observed but the pattern of findings was not consistent. Findings suggest that EAH may be a relevant target for reducing food intake in individuals with obesity given its high prevalence and association with perceptions of overeating, although results should be extended using objective measures of food intake. Associations between evening eating episodes and perceptual and environmental factors should be further explored.

“…Individuals with obesity who endorse greater psychological stress and who have few coping strategies at their disposal may be more likely to use food to reduce negative emotions, such as those associated with stress (Byrne, 2002; Elfhag & Rössner, 2005). Eating to feel better when experiencing negative emotions or when in unpleasant situations, or eating to avoid worries and problems, is associated with greater BMI, and increases in these types of eating are associated with weight gain (Boggiano, Wenger, Turan, Tatum, Sylvester, et al, 2015; Boggiano, Wenger, Turan, Tatum, Morgan, et al, 2015). …”

Many individuals with obesity report overeating despite intentions to maintain or lose weight. Two barriers to long-term weight loss are reward-driven eating, which is characterized by a lack of control over eating, a preoccupation with food, and a lack of satiety; and psychological stress. Mindfulness training may address these barriers by promoting awareness of hunger and satiety cues, self-regulatory control, and stress reduction. We examined these two barriers as potential mediators of weight loss in the Supporting Health by Integrating Nutrition and Exercise (SHINE) randomized controlled trial, which compared the effects of a 5.5-month diet and exercise intervention with or without mindfulness training on weight loss among adults with obesity. Intention-to-treat multiple mediation models tested whether post-intervention reward-driven eating and psychological stress mediated the impact of intervention arm on weight loss at 12-and 18-months post-baseline among 194 adults with obesity (BMI: 30–45). Mindfulness (relative to control) participants had significant reductions in reward-driven eating at 6 months (post-intervention), which, in turn, predicted weight loss at 12 months. Post-intervention reward-driven eating mediated 47.1% of the total intervention arm effect on weight loss at 12 months [β=-0.06, SE(β)=0.03, p=.030, 95% CI (−0.12, −0.01)]. This mediated effect was reduced when predicting weight loss at 18 months (p=.396), accounting for 23.0% of the total intervention effect, despite similar weight loss at 12 months. Psychological stress did not mediate the effect of intervention arm on weight loss at 12 or 18 months. In conclusion, reducing reward-driven eating, which can be achieved using a diet and exercise intervention that includes mindfulness training, may promote weight loss (clinicaltrials.gov registration: NCT00960414).
