Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.3K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Regulation of Food Intake01:30

Regulation of Food Intake

208
Short-term regulation of food intake primarily involves neural signals from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, blood nutrient levels, and GI tract hormones. Communication between the gut and brain via vagal nerve fibers plays a significant role in evaluating the contents of the gut. Clinical studies have shown that protein ingestion produces a more prolonged response in these nerve fibers compared to an equivalent amount of glucose. Additionally, the activation of stretch receptors caused by GI...

Unlike occasional overeating, binge eating disorder is marked by distressing emotions such as guilt, shame, and anxiety following binge episodes. The disorder affects individuals across different ages and backgrounds, with profound implications for physical and psychological...

Bulimia Nervosa01:30

Bulimia Nervosa

61
Bulimia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by a cyclical pattern of binge-and-purge eating pattern. It generally involves an episode of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, laxative use, or fasting, to prevent weight gain. Despite often maintaining a normal weight, individuals with bulimia are intensely preoccupied with their body image and harbor an overwhelming fear of gaining weight. This can contribute to the...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.0K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Many individuals face challenges in regulating their food intake.
  • Existing research extensively covers food preferences and body weight, but less on the act of eating itself.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review psychological factors influencing eating regulation.
  • To examine self-control strategies for managing food consumption.
  • To identify gaps and suggest future research directions in the study of eating behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of psychological theories and studies on self-control and eating.
  • Analysis of personality variables (external eating, reward sensitivity) and situational factors (emotions, social norms, calorie deprivation).
  • Evaluation of self-control strategies (reappraisal, inhibition, automatic strategies).

Main Results:

  • Psychological factors like personality traits and situational constraints significantly impact eating regulation.
  • Various cognitive and behavioral strategies can be employed for self-control of eating.
  • Current research often overlooks actual eating behavior as a primary outcome measure.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of psychological influences and effective self-control strategies is crucial for addressing eating regulation difficulties.
  • There is a need for more research focusing on actual eating behaviors rather than solely on preferences or weight.
  • Future studies should prioritize direct observation and measurement of food consumption patterns.
