چکیده
1 2 Measuring hunger and satiety in children is essential to many studies of childhood eating behaviour 3 and obesity. Despite this, few validated measures currently exist that allow children to make 4 accurate and reliable ratings of their hunger/satiety. Three studies aimed to address this issue by 5 validating the use of a new categorical rating scale, Teddy the Bear, in the context of estimated and 6 real eating episodes. Forty-seven 6-8 year old primary school pupils participated in Study 1, which 7 used a between-participant design. Results from this study indicated that the majority of children 8 were able to use the scale to make estimated hunger/satiety ratings for a character in a story using 9 the scale. No significant differences in the ratings of hunger/satiety of children measured before and 10 after lunch were observed and likely causes are discussed. To account for inter-individual differences 11 in hunger/satiety perceptions Study 2 employed a within-participant design. Fifty-four 5-7 year olds 12 participated in this study and made estimated hunger/satiety ratings for a story character and real 13 hunger/satiety ratings before and after lunch. The results from this study indicated that the majority 14 of children were able to use the scale to make estimated and real hunger and satiety ratings. 15 Children were also found to be significantly hungrier before compared to after lunch. As it was not 16 possible to establish what types of food and in what quantity children ate for lunch a third study was 17 carried out in a controlled laboratory environment. Thirty-six 6-9 year olds participated in Study 3 18 and made hunger/satiety ratings before and after ingesting an ad libitum snack of known 19 composition and quantity. Results indicate that children felt hungrier before than after the snack 20 and that pre-snack hunger/satiety, as well as changes in hunger/satiety, were associated with ad 21 libitum snack intake. Overall, the studies indicate that our new categorical rating scale has potential 22 for use with primary school children. Implications of our findings and possible contexts for its 23 application are discussed. 24 25
