Although reward processing is known to influence eating behavior, how this processing at distinct stages relates to individual differences in restrained eating remains unclear. This study employed a food incentive delay task combined with event-related potentials (ERPs) to compare electrophysiological activity between SREs (n = 30) and UREs (n = 30) during both wanting and liking stages of reward processing. Specifically, we measured two anticipatory ERPs (i.e., “wanting”): the contingent negative variation (CNV) during target anticipation and the stimulus preceding negativity (SPN) during feedback anticipation; and one consummatory ERP (i.e., “liking”): the P300 component during feedback receipt. Results revealed no group differences in CNV amplitudes, suggesting similar motor preparation. In contrast, SPN amplitudes were larger for food reward compared to neutral trials. Crucially, UREs exhibited larger SPN amplitudes specifically in high-calorie food reward than SREs, indicating stronger wanting. During feedback receipt, although P300 amplitudes were larger in reward trials than neutral trials, no significant group differences were observed, suggesting similar levels of liking toward food rewards across groups. This is the first study to provide electrophysiological evidence that differences between SREs and UREs emerge primarily during food reward anticipation, rather than receipt, indicating that heightened wanting may contribute to dietary failures in UREs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"220 ","pages":"Article 108463"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145973650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Higher light physical activity (LPA) was associated with a higher intensity of food cravings indicating a potentially triggering effect. More moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was associated with a decreased likelihood of craving energy-dense foods, suggesting a protective role in unhealthy food choices. These associations varied across different timeframes. Despite the statistical significance of the findings, caution should be exercised when interpreting their practical implications, as they may not translate into substantial changes in everyday behaviour.

Key facilitators included prevailing social norms, influence from family and peers, and the widespread availability and marketing of ultra-processed products. These findings highlight the complex interplay of individual beliefs and broader environmental influences in shaping parental decision-making. Results underscore the need for a comprehensive set of strategies to discourage the consumption of ultra-processed products.

Liked music and no music were associated with a preference for low-sugar foods. Music did not significantly influence visual attention. Participants consistently looked longer at food than non-food items regardless of their music condition. These findings suggest that music can bias food-related decision-making independently of attentional processes: liked music may encourage healthier choices, whereas disliked music increases susceptibility to high-sugar comfort foods despite reduced general appetite. The results highlight the potential of music as a subtle, non-caloric intervention for promoting low-sugar eating behaviour.
