The Affect Regulation Theory (ART)
ART: eating in the absence of hunger is an effort to regulate negative emotions
• Food:– Provides comfort on a psychological level– Reduces arousal on a biological level– Distracts from emotional state– Overshadows negative affect
• Assessment:– Questionnaires: DEBQ, CBCL, CDI, SPPC– Interview: KID-SCID

Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST)
RST: high reward sensitive (RS) children show an increased responsiveness to food. The presence of food leads to an automatic approach reaction thereby ignoring feelings of satiety.
• RS: reflects functional outcomes fo the behavioural activation system (BAS)
• Obese children find palatable foods more rewarding• Assessment:
– Questionnaires: DEBQ, BIS/BAS– Behavioural measure: Stroop task
