Evaluating eating behavior traits of virtual targets: Attitudes and empathy
Eat Behav. 2023 Sep 2;51:101808. doi: 10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101808. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are many common stereotypes related to food consumption and eating behaviors that are considered indicative of one's personal character. Negative evaluations of an individual based on their eating behaviors may lead to stigmatization and other harmful psychosocial outcomes. Using vignette scenarios, we examined 582 participants' attitudes towards two target characters who exhibited bitter food dislike and high reward-based eating drive respectively. In open-ended text responses, participants were more likely to respond n...

Determinants of smoking related weight-concern in smokers participating in a community-based cessation program
CONCLUSIONS: Among adults attempting cessation, women, White smokers, and those less motivated to quit were more likely to smoke for weight control and to relapse due to weight gain. Higher BMI was associated with greater anticipation of relapse for men, but not women. Weight-concerns, for both measures, were not related to smoking history, psychosocial functioning, PA engagement or attitudes, or dietary variables. Results suggest potential cessation intervention targets for weight-concerned smokers.PMID:37699309 | DOI:10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101809 (Source: Eating Behaviors)

Adding executive function training to cognitive behavioral therapy for binge eating disorder: A pilot randomized controlled trial
Eat Behav. 2023 Aug 29;51:101806. doi: 10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101806. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEvidence-based treatments for binge eating disorder (BED), such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) lead to successful outcomes only about half the time. Individuals with BED often have measurable deficits in executive function (EF) that may challenge adherence to or impact of cognitive behavioral intervention components. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of adding EF training to CBT by combining CBT with a compensatory cognitive training approach (EF-CBT). Participants were 32 adults with BED, overweight/obe...

Parent involvement approach and changes in eating pathology within an adolescent obesity intervention
CONCLUSIONS: Neither parent intervention yields harm related to eating pathology in adolescents engaged in obesity treatment. Obesity treatment does not appear to have iatrogenic effects on eating pathology in adolescents.PMID:37659210 | DOI:10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101807 (Source: Eating Behaviors)

Family body culture, disordered eating and mental health among young adult females during COVID-19
This study aimed to, first, explore relationships between different family body-related interactions to assess the presence of a family body culture, and second, explore relationships between aspects of family body culture, disordered eating and mental health among young adult females during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were 233 females aged 18-25 years who completed measures of family body culture (family fat talk; family weight concern; family weight teasing), disordered eating, anxiety and depression. Results showed all aspects of family body culture were significantly, positively related. Engaging in fat talk wi...
