The main concern in this Expert Group is the study of eating behavior in
all its manifestations varying from emotional eating and other mild distortions
of food intake to full-blown eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia
nervosa. The Expert Group discusses both experimental and clinical approaches
to the study of eating behavior as well as survey research, thereby
highlighting both normal and abnormal aspects of the psychology of eating. The
Expert Group discusses various theoretical approaches but is mostly concerned
with the perspective of self-regulation to understand and explain why some
people experience problems with controlling their eating. Topics of interest
include: decision making about foods, the role of affect in eating,
self-control and temptation in eating, psychological aspects of eating in
interaction with biological and social components, innovative methods such as
data collection by electronic food diaries and naturalistic experimental
settings, eating in children and adolescents, and prevention of overweight.
