目的：生活在致肥胖环境中可能不会对所有青少年产生相同程度的影响，这取决于他们对食物环境的心理敏感性和自我调节能力。本研究的目的是检验这两个因素与青少年不健康零食的关系。我们还调查了自我调节能力是否可以减弱的负面影响是敏感的食物environment.Methods：一项调查完成了11,392欧洲青少年（10-17岁）。结果：食物环境敏感度越高，自我调节能力越低，不健康零食摄入量越多。这两个因素也相互作用，与自我调节能力减弱高食品环境sensitivity.Discussion的影响：青少年谁是敏感的食品环境报告更高的不健康的零食摄入量。另一方面，更频繁地使用自我调节策略与更低的不健康零食摄入量有关。此外，自我调节能力被认为是适度的心理敏感性的影响，对不健康的零食的食物环境，虽然效果的大小是小的。培养青少年的自我调节能力可以帮助他们更好地驾驭肥胖环境。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Purpose: Living in an obesogenic environment may not affect all adolescents to the same extent, depending on their psychological sensitivity to the food environment and their self-regulatory competence. The purpose of the current study was to examine associations of these two factors with unhealthy snacking among adolescents. We also investigated whether self-regulatory competence could attenuate the negative effects of being sensitive to the food environment.Methods: A survey was completed by 11,392 European adolescents (10-17 years old). The survey measured psychological sensitivity to the food environment, self-regulatory competence and self-reported unhealthy snack intake.Results: Higher food environment sensitivity and lower self-regulatory competence were associated with more unhealthy snacking. The two factors also interacted, with self-regulatory competence attenuating the influence of high food environment sensitivity.Discussion: Adolescents who are sensitive to the food environment reported higher unhealthy snack intake. More frequent use of self-regulation strategies on the other hand was associated with lower unhealthy snack intake. Moreover, self-regulatory competence was found to moderate the influence of psychological sensitivity to the food environment on unhealthy snacking, although the effect size was small. Fostering adolescents' self-regulatory competence can help enable them to better navigate the obesogenic environment. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
