The self-control of eating behavior

Traci Mann Mary E. Panos

This chapter defines self-control broadly to incorporate deliberate and automatic processes involved in attaining one’s goals. Rather than in the narrow fashion in which it is sometimes used, in which it refers solely to conscious efforts to fight off or suppress impulses that interfere with goal attainment. The processes involved in attaining one’s eating goals can be divided into setting eating goals and striving to achieve those goals. The primary reasons individuals report for setting an eating goal are health, physical appearance, mood, athletic performance, and moral reasons. Health reasons for setting an eating goal can be prompted by any number of reactive health issues, such as having high cholesterol or blood sugar, but can also be motivated by a proactivedesire for increased energy or improved overall health. Approach goals are those for which an individual works toward a specific, desirable outcome such as feeling more energetic, looking better in a bathing suit, or feeling better about one’s body.

Reducing sugar use in coffee while maintaining enjoyment: A randomized controlled trial

Journal of Health Psychology (2017)

Richie L. Lenne Traci Mann

Consuming coffee without (or with less) sugar may help people lower their daily calorie intake without restrictive dieting. We tested two theory-based interventions to help people do so. One involved gradually reducing sugar over time, and the other was based on mindfulness theory. These interventions were compared to a repeated exposure (to sugar-free coffee) group. Participants in all conditions had significant increases in consumption of sugar-free coffee that lasted 6 months. The mindfulness group had a larger increase than the others. Unexpectedly, the gradual reduction intervention led to a decrease in liking for sugar-free coffee and was the least effective.

The implementation of the DHHS Guidelines for the use of antiretroviral agents in HIV-infected adults: A pilot study

AIDS Care (2000)

Traci Mann Oscar Grusky William D. Marelich Jeff S. Erger Eric G. Bing

Abstract The objective of this study was to assess whether United States DHHS guidelines for treatment with antiretroviral therapies are being implemented by health care providers when discussing treatment options with newly diagnosed HIV patients. Health care providers were observed interacting with HIV patients while making decisions about treatment. Observers assessed whether providers and patients discussed the five benefits and six risks of initiating antiretroviral therapy, as recommended in the DHHS Guidelines. Preliminary results indicate that the DHHS Guidelines are not being implemented in the way they were intended. The risks and benefits of antiretroviral therapy were infrequently discussed. No more than four of the 11 risk/benefit items were discussed with any patient, and four of the six risk items were never mentioned to any patient. Potential reasons why the guidelines are not being implemented are discussed.

The association between chewing and swallowing difficulties and nutritional status in older adults

Australian Dental Journal (2013)

Traci Mann R Heuberger Helen Wong

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of chewing and swallowing dysfunctions to nutritional status in older adults. Methods This cross‐sectional study comprised a convenience sample of 1065 community‐dwelling older adults living in rural United States. Dietary assessment included the Block Full Length Food Frequency Questionnaire, 24‐hour Food Intake Recall and Mini Nutritional Assessment. Classification of chewing and swallowing difficulties was determined by a criterion of outlined factors. Results In our sample, 113 (11%) had chewing difficulties, 51 (5%) had swallowing difficulties, and 11 (1%) had both. Compared to the Dietary Reference Intakes ( DRI s), the study population was deficient in calories and several nutrients. Mean daily intake in individuals reporting chewing, swallowing, or difficulties with both were 1489 ± 360, 1461 ± 374 and 1374 ± 240 calories respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups. Vitamin A, vitamin E and manganese were significantly lower in those with chewing difficulties while vitamin E and magnesium were significantly lower in individuals with swallowing difficulties (p < 0.05). Conclusions These results emphasize the importance of chewing and swallowing difficulties in modulating nutritional outcomes in older adults. These co‐morbidities should be monitored in this population and intake of nutrient dense foods should be increased in those at risk.

Ask a busy person: Attentional myopia and helping

PsycEXTRA Dataset (2014)

Matthew Wallaert Andrew Ward Traci Mann

According to an oft-quoted piece of folk wisdom, if one wants something accomplished, the best person to ask is a busy person.We tested a version of this proposition in two studies.Study 1 exposed participants to a helping request in which cues promoting the relevant behavior were made more salient than those inhibiting it.Study 2 featured a request in which inhibiting cues were made more salient than cues promoting the behavior.In both studies, participants who were "busied" by high cognitive load showed more influence of the dominant behavioral pressure than did participants under minimal load.The results suggest that busy people can respond more to a helping appeal, but only when cues facilitating helping are more salient than those discouraging it.

Long‐term Effects of Dieting: Is Weight Loss Related to Health?

Social and Personality Psychology Compass (2013)

A. Janet Tomiyama Britt Hedman Ahlström Traci Mann

Abstract “Success” in dieting interventions has traditionally been defined as weight loss. It is implicit in this definition that losing weight will lead to improved health, and yet, health outcomes are not routinely included in studies of diets. In this article, we evaluate whether weight loss improves health by reviewing health outcomes of long‐term randomized controlled diet studies. We examine whether weight‐loss diets lead to improved cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and fasting blood glucose and test whether the amount of weight lost is predictive of these health outcomes. Across all studies, there were minimal improvements in these health outcomes, and none of these correlated with weight change. A few positive effects emerged, however, for hypertension and diabetes medication use and diabetes and stroke incidence. We conclude by discussing factors that potentially confound the relationship between weight loss and health outcomes, such as increased exercise, healthier eating, and engagement with the health care system, and we provide suggestions for future research.

Self‐Control of Smoking: When Does Narrowed Attention Help?¹

Journal of Applied Social Psychology (2006)

Erika Westling Traci Mann Andrew Ward

Two studies examined the capacity of cognitive load to enhance or disrupt the self‐control of smoking in the presence of situational pressures that either promote or discourage the behavior. In Study 1, participants who were exposed to cues encouraging smoking smoked more under high cognitive load than under low cognitive load. In Study 2, participants who were exposed to cues discouraging smoking smoked less under high load than under low load. Cognitive load appears to narrow attention, resulting in a state of attentional myopia, which leads to disinhibited smoking behavior when pressures to smoke are disproportionately salient and enhanced control of smoking when pressures not to smoke are disproportionately salient. Implications for smoking cessation are discussed.

When Do Ego Threats Lead to Self-Regulation Failure? Negative Consequences of Defensive High Self-Esteem

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin (2006)

Kathleen Hoffman Lambird Traci Mann

High self-esteem (HSE) is increasingly recognized as heterogeneous. By measuring subtypes of HSE, the present research reevaluates the finding that HSE individuals show poor self-regulation following ego threat (Baumeister, Heatherton, & Tice, 1993). In Experiment 1, participants with HSE showed poor self-regulation after ego threat only if they also were defensive (high in self-presentation bias). In Experiment 2, two measures--self-presentation bias and implicit self-esteem--were used to subtype HSE individuals as defensive. Both operationalizations of defensive HSE predicted poor self-regulation after ego threat. The results indicate that (a) only defensive HSE individuals are prone to self-regulation failure following ego threat and (b) measures of self-presentation bias and implicit self-esteem can both be used to detect defensiveness.
