Food Cues and the Desire to Eat in Dieters and Non-Dieters
Abstract
The effects of external stimuli, on women who diet and do not diet was examined using an experimental group that was exposed to a list of 73 written food cues, and a control group that was not exposed to the food cues. There was a mean increase in desire to eat for both the dieters and non-dieters who received the food cues, however no statistical significance in difference between the groups. There was a mean increase in desire to eat for the non-dieters in the control group, but a mean decrease in desire to eat for dieters in the control group. The results discussed below demonstrate the patterns that occurred based on external and internal stimuli.
