A broadly satisfying,  (51)theory should have a wide range of applicability. A broad theory of hunger might apply  (52)human beings and lower animals, to normal weight and overweight people, and to people who have(53)of food for differing lengths of time.

As a result they have been revised(56).For example, the theory that hunger results from stomach contractions may be(57)correct for normal weight individuals, but it is inadequate as an(58)for feelings of hunger among the overweight.(59)theories also focus on biological variables, such as fat cells and brain
   (60), and psychological variables such as the presence of other people who are eating and the time of day.

   Psychologists are(64)to belief in the dignity of human beings, and human dignity demands that people be free to make their own decisions and choose their own behavior. Psychologists are learning more all the time about the(65)influences on human behavior,  but they apply this knowledge only upon request and in ways they believe will be helpful  to an individual or an institution.
