Abstract
Objective
Egoβstrength depletion was examined as an explanation for dietary disinhibition in restrained eaters. We predicted that the depletion of ego strength resulting from having to choose whether to conform would undermine dietary restraint.
Method
Participants completed an Aschβtype conformity task, after which they completed a tasteβrating task in which food intake was measured.
Results
As predicted, restrained eaters who repeatedly exercised choice ate significantly more than did restrained eaters who did not exercise choice.
Discussion
An egoβstrength model of dietary restraint is discussed. Β© 2003 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Eat Disord 33: 165β171, 2003.
