Abstract

The relationship between eating style, attitudes towards food and food intake was investigated in 846 British adolescent schoolchildren. Eating style was assessed with the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire, attitudes towards food with a series of specially prepared questions, and food intake with a diet history taken by a dietitian. The results showed that restraint, external and emotional eating were associated with very different profiles of attitudes and behaviour. Restrained subjects had a higher body weight, more negative attitudes towards food, a lower likelihood of overeating and a lower overall energy intake. External eaters had a lower body weight, positive attitudes to food, and reported a higher energy intake. Emotional eaters fell in between in some ways, with some signs of situational loss of control combined with a negative attitude towards overeating. While external eating appeared to be attenuated by restraint, emotional eating was enhanced by it. The implications of these eating styles for later patterns of eating and weight are discussed.

  • Females potentially engage in more emotional eating than males.

    “Given possible sex differences in psychological determinants of weight gain and loss, with females potentially engaging in more emotional eating than males (Tanofsky, Wilfey, Spurrell, Welch & Brownell, 1997; Wardle et al., 1992; Wardle, 1987), the trial was restricted to females only.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
