​ Parents' eating behavior influences children’s response to food

19 Aug 2024 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read

A team led by Professor Jacqueline Blissett in the School of Psychology and Aston Institute of Health and Neurodevelopment (IHN) at Aston University, asked parents to assess their own eating behavior and looked for associations between those behaviors and those of their children.
The team grouped parents into four eating styles -- 'typical eating', 'avid eating', 'emotional eating' and 'avoidant eating'. Typical eaters, who made up 41.4% of the sample, have no extreme behaviors.
Avid eaters (37.3%) have high food approach traits such as eating in response to food cues in the environment and their emotions, rather than hunger signals.
