Book Description
In the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts present career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, and their major practical theoretical contributions. In this volume: Overweight and obesity rates have increased dramatically in most industrialized countries, even though more and more people are chronically dieting. Dieters can manage to lose substantial amounts of weight while actively dieting, but most regain it within a few years. So why do most chronic dieters have such difficulty controlling their weight and why is there only a small minority of successful dieters? To address these questions, Stroebe developed the goal conflict model of eating behavior, a social cognitive theory that attributes the difficulty of chronic dieters to a conflict between two incompatible goals: eating enjoyment and weight control. Although chronic dieters are motivated to pursue their weight control goal, most fail in food-rich environments: Surrounded by palatable food cues that activate thoughts of eating enjoyment, incompatible weight control thoughts are inhibited and weight control intentions are "forgotten". For successful dieters - probably due to past success in exerting self-control - tasty high-calorie food has become associated with weight control thoughts. For them, exposure to palatable food makes weight control thoughts more accessible, enabling them to control their body weight in food-rich environments. This book contains the key articles of a research program by Stroebe and collaborators to assess the validity of this theory. They succeeded in tracing the processes that lead from temptation to a breakdown of dieting intentions. They also demonstrated that these theoretical principles can be used to develop effective weight loss interventions. The book should be of value for all researcgers, students and clinicians involved in obesity research and treatment.

Book Description
Three studies were conducted to examine the response of restrained and unrestrained eaters to pre-eating exposure to food cues. Study one investigated the effect of pre-exposure to two types of food cues (olfactory and cognitive) on food intake by restrained and unrestrained eaters. Subjects were exposed to either no cue, an olfactory cue, a cognitive cue, or a combination of the two food cues for ten minutes prior to eating. Restrained eaters ate significantly more than did unrestrained eaters after exposure to the food cues. Study two found that restrained eaters responded to pre-eating exposure to food cues by eating more, but only when the food they eat is the same as that to which they have been exposed. Intake of a food that differed from the pre-eating food cue was not significantly different from food intake after no prior exposure. Unrestrained eaters showed little differential eating response to either food cue. Study three tested whether the specificity of response to a food cue is controlled by what subjects are led to expect about the foods that they will be tasting. Expectancies played a significant role in determining food intake as indicated by the finding that restrained eaters ate significantly more when they were expecting to taste the same food as the preceding cue relative to restrained eaters who were expecting to taste a different food, even though the food that they eventually ate, chocolate chip cookies, was the same in both conditions Unrestrained eaters' food intake was not significantly affected by these manipulations. Pre-eating exposure to food cues evoked increased food intake in restrained subjects. This effect may be due to a history of classically conditioned responses to food-associated cues formed during critical periods of food deprivation (dieting). Unrestrained eaters, who do not restrict their food intake, are less likely to form such strongly conditioned associations and therefore are not as influenced by external food stimuli. Food cues may act as a signal to eat and also convey a message of what to eat to receptive individuals such as those with a history of food deprivation.

Book Description
Originally published in 1974, this volume examines the behavioural similarities of obese humans and animals whose so-called feeding centre (the ventro-medial hypothalamic nuclei) has been lesioned. Both the obese human and the VMH-lesioned animal seem to share a hyposensitivity to the internal (physiological) cues to eating and hypersensitivity to external cues associated with food. Beginning with a review, these obese animals and the human obese are compared point by point on experimental results reported in the literature. Then, new findings are presented that specifically tested humans for relationships that are well-established for lesioned animals. Next, a theoretical framework integrates the human and animal data to postulate that the relationship of cue prominence and probability of response is stronger for the obese than for normal. The causes for this, and the extension of the basis for the obese’s eating behaviour to other areas, are discussed in light of further experiments that will make this invaluable reading for all concerned with the history of obesity and the issues of regulatory behaviour.
