refers to the ability to eat and not eat in response
to internal cues of hunger and fullness (Baumeister & Vohs,
2004). There are two types of eating self-regulation – satiation and
satiety. As described by Bellisle, Drewnowski, Anderson,
Westerterp-Plantenga, and Martins (2012), “Satiation occurs during
an eating episode and brings it to an end. Satiety starts after the
end of eating and prevents further eating before the return of hunger”
(p. 1149S). Satiation, which is negatively associated with childweight
status (Faith et al., 2012; Johnson & Birch, 1994; Kral et al., 2012),
is usually measured by examining intake at a meal when various
aspects of that meal have been manipulated. A commonly used approach
with children is to examine the effects of a preload on
subsequent intake at a meal (e.g., Johnson & Birch, 1994). Satiety,
the other type of eating self-regulation, is usually measured in children
by assessing eating in the absence of hunger (Fisher & Birch,
1999). Because eating in the absence of hunger reflects low levels
of satiety, it is positively associated with child weight status
