We argue that craving is an affective state per the definition offered in the target article, and as such the Extended Process Model provides a strong theoretical framework to understand the self-regulation of craving. First, we briefly define craving in general and food craving in particular and relate those constructs to the definitions of affect and emotion in the target article. We then apply the Extended Process Model to cognitive strategies for self-regulation of food craving and related clinical interventions. In doing so, we illustrate how the Extended Process Model of Emotion Regulation is a useful tool for bridging related topics within affective science (e.g., craving and emotion) and for analyzing and improving programs that target affective states (e.g., dietary interventions).

渴望是一种情感状态，其调节可以用情绪调节的扩展过程模型来理解


我们认为，根据目标文章中提供的定义，渴望是一种情感状态，因此扩展过程模型提供了一个强大的理论框架来理解渴望的自我调节。首先，我们简要定义一般的渴望和特别的食物渴望，并将这些结构与目标文章中情感和情感的定义联系起来。然后，我们将扩展过程模型应用于自我调节食物渴望和相关临床干预的认知策略。在此过程中，我们说明了情绪调节的扩展过程模型如何成为一个有用的工具，用于桥接情感科学中的相关主题（例如，渴望和情绪）以及分析和改进针对情感状态的计划（例如，饮食干预）。
