One of a series of real-world studies designed to explore the impact of social, emotional and environmental factors on eating. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between attentional bias, impulsivity, and real-world eating patterns. In addition to completing laboratory tasks, participants were required to log every instance of food or drink consumed into a smartphone during a two-week real-world monitoring period. For a subset of these reports, participants answered questions about their affect, activities and social setting at the time of consumption. Participants also completed to randomly-timed non-eating assessments throughout each day.
