Abstract：
This review uses person-centered research and data analysis strategies to discuss the conceptualization and measurement of appetite self-regulation (ASR) phenotypes and trajectories in childhood (from infancy to about ages 6 or 7 years). Research that is person-centered provides strategies that increase the possibilities for investigating ASR phenotypes. We first examine the utility of examining underlying phenotypes using latent profile/class analysis drawing on cross-sectional data. The use of trajectory analysis to investigate developmental change is then discussed, with attention to phenotypes using trajectories of individual behaviors as well as phenotypes based on multi-trajectory modeling. Data analysis strategies and measurement approaches from recent examples of these person-centered approaches to the conceptualization and investigation of appetite self-regulation and its development in childhood are examined. Where relevant, examples from older children as well as developmental, clinical and educational psychology are drawn on to discuss when and how person-centered approaches can be used. We argue that there is scope to incorporate recent advances in biological and psychoneurological knowledge about appetite self-regulation as well as fundamental processes in the development of general self-regulation to enhance the examination of phenotypes and their trajectories across childhood (and beyond). The discussion and conclusion suggest directions for future research and highlight the potential of person-centered approaches to progress knowledge about the development of appetite self-regulation in childhood.
摘要：
这篇综述使用以人为本的研究和数据分析策略来讨论儿童期（从婴儿期到大约6或7岁）食欲自我调节（ASR）表型和轨迹的概念化和测量。以人为中心的研究提供了增加调查ASR表型的可能性的策略。我们首先检查使用潜在的轮廓/类别分析在横截面数据上检查潜在表型的效用。然后讨论了使用轨迹分析来调查发展变化，关注使用个体行为轨迹的表型以及基于多轨迹建模的表型。研究了数据分析策略和测量方法，这些方法是从这些以人为本的方法的最新实例到食欲自我调节及其在儿童时期的发展的概念化和调查。如果相关,来自年龄较大的孩子以及发育的例子，利用临床和教育心理学来讨论何时以及如何使用以人为本的方法。我们认为，有可能将有关食欲自我调节的生物学和心理神经知识的最新进展以及一般自我调节发展的基本过程纳入其中，以增强对表型及其在儿童期（及以后）的轨迹的检查。讨论和结论为未来的研究提供了方向，并强调了以人为中心的方法的潜力，以进步有关儿童食欲自我调节发展的知识。
