Previous intervention work has found that personally relevant interventions that identify actions to achieve goals are effective in changing behaviors. Counterfactual thinking (e.g. “if only … then …”) can be utilized to identify causal relationships and personally relevant behaviors to achieve health goals. Additionally, counterfactual thinking has been shown to increase goal-relevant domains such as motivation and intentions. The present study developed and evaluated an eating-based counterfactual reflection task that incorporated protective behavioral strategies (PBS) and measured capability, opportunity, and motivation to eat healthy. The results indicated that counterfactual thinking (vs. control) significantly increased self-efficacy and intentions to use specific PBS. Additionally, those in the counterfactual condition with less capability had a larger increase in their willingness to change their eating habits. Future research will refine the counterfactual task to be more relevant and effective for a wider range of individuals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"209 ","pages":"Article 107953"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143584247","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}

Therefore, this research aims to provide researchers with a scale to measure perceptions of environmental food sustainability, addressing the need for such a measurement tool. We used a mixed-methods approach to develop and validate the Perceived Environmental Sustainability (PENSUS) Scale for Food and Drinks. Items were generated and refined based on expert interviews and focus group discussions with young consumers (i.e., 12–25 years) (Phase 1). The structure of the scale was explored in two online surveys (Phase 2), and subsequently confirmed with confirmatory factor analyses in four online experiments (Phase 3). This process resulted in a 10-item version of the PENSUS scale, designed to measure perceptions of 1) production &amp; processing, 2) packaging and 3) transport. The scale serves as a concise, reliable tool to measure young consumers' environmental sustainability perceptions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"209 ","pages":"Article 107935"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Substantial evidence exists that supports strong associations between ACEs and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders (EDs), and addictive disorders. Recent research has also elucidated a link between ACEs and ultra-processed food addiction (UPFA), a clinical presentation resembling a substance use disorder with ultra-processed foods (UPFs; e.g., pastries, packaged snacks, sweetened beverages). Yet, no research to our knowledge has explored causal mediation pathways between ACEs, consumption patterns of UPFs, and symptoms of PTSD, UPFA, and ED. In a sample of 304 adults seeking dietary counseling in a private practice specializing in mental health nutrition, this study conducted mediation analyses and structural equation modeling to test a conceptual model of the hypothesized contributions of UPF intake and UPFA in explaining the relationships between ACEs with symptoms of PTSD and ED. Symptoms of PTSD fully mediated (99.4%) the positive relationship between ACEs and ED symptoms and 51.0% of the ACE-UPFA association. Greater UPF consumption frequency mediated 23.7% of the positive relationship between ACEs and UPFA symptoms, and UPFA symptoms mediated 73.8% of the positive relationship between UPF intake and ED symptomology. Relatedly, symptoms of UPFA explained 46.0% of the positive association between symptoms of PTSD and indicators of ED pathology. Structural equation modeling indicated significant associations of all hypothesized relationships when analyzed simultaneously. This study found that the influences of UPF consumption and UPFA represent a blind spot in current trauma-informed treatment approaches for disordered eating.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"208 ","pages":"Article 107938"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To help remedy this situation, this article seeks to engender enthusiasm for including sex as a variable in appetite research. We first illustrate some sex differences in healthy and disordered eating, including both male-female differences and differences across the menstrual cycle. We next provide methodological guidance for studies involving male and female participants around puberty, during reproductive adulthood, and during reproductive senescence. Studies in children ≥5 y of age should consider adrenarche and gonadarche. Appetite studies in girls and women following menarche and similarly aged males should consider the influences of sex-specific aspects the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis function. The cyclicity of HPG function (i.e., the menstrual cycle) in girls and women presents the challenge of identifying of menstrual-cycle subphases, which are highly variable within and between individuals. Reproductive senescence refers to changes in HPG axis function that occur in both men and women beginning in mid-life. Current best practices involve consideration of hormone-assay methodology, experimental design, and statistical analyses. On the horizon are options based on wearable-sensors and nanotechnology. Well informed consideration of sex as a variable will accelerate progress in appetite research by increasing rigor, replicability, and relevance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"207 ","pages":"Article 107840"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143035485","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}
