  1. Eating Behaviors By: Patrick Thibodeau

  2. Experiment 1: Stress-induced laboratory eating behavior in obese women with binge eating disorder. • Purpose – To compare the eating behavior of obese patients without binge eating disorder versus obese patients with binge eating disorder • Hypothesis - The induction of stress has an effect on eating characteristics, especially in women who suffer from binge eating disorder (BED). • 71 female subjects – 35 with BED • 2x2 factorial design

  3. Procedure • Both groups (BED and non-BED) fasted overnight. • Upon arrival for the experiment, all participants ate half a sandwich. • After a stressor or neutral event the participants can eat as much pudding as they want. • Trier Social Stress Test versus reading newspaper (neutral). • Behavior was measured using a UEM • Universal eating monitor – special desk equipped with an electronic scale that measures how much food is consumed (g) per .5 seconds.

  4. Results • BED • enhanced initial eating rate from non-stress to stress • .33 g/s as compared to .53 g/s • Less deceleration of consumption throughout the stress condition than in the non-stress condition • Larger spoonfuls • Without BED • reduced initial eating rate • .53 g/s versus .47 g/s • Greater deceleration during stress phase than in the non-stress phase

  5. Experiment 2: Understanding variety: Tasting different foods delays satiation. • Purpose – to investigate whether or not variety in tastes of foods delays satiation. • Hypothesis – introduction of different tasting foods to taste and rate during consumption will result in a delayed satiation and greater amount of consumption. • 33 participants – 23 females and 10 males • Sex as a between-groups factor

  6. Procedure • 4 lab sessions • Sweet or salted popcorn (preferential) • Participants ate at their own rate, or were interrupted to rate the taste of what they were eating, a similar tasting food, or a different tasting food. • “eat as much as you like until you feel comfortably full”

  7. Results • Women’s consumption did not vary greatly by condition • Men ate more in CC and IC conditions • Conclusion: by giving the participants a different food to taste and rate during the consumption of the snack, the amount of food eaten was increased in comparison to tasting, eating, and rating the same food.
