EATING BEHAVIOUR INTRODUCTION

EATING BEHAVIOUR

Key explanations of eating behaviour include evolutionary influences on food preferences such as neophobia and taste aversion, and the role of learning through social and cultural influences. Biological regulation of eating involves neural and hormonal mechanisms, including the hypothalamus, ghrelin and leptin.The topic also examines biological explanations for anorexia nervosa and obesity, including genetic and neural factors, alongside psychological explanations such as family systems theory, social learning theory, cognitive distortions, restraint theory, disinhibition and the boundary model. It also explores explanations for the success and failure of dieting
