Food and eating Flashcards
Deliens et al. [1] university students exposed to modelling influences of people who rarely consume soft drinks, stricter family rules, greater perceived behavioral control and confidence
were less likely to consume soft/energy drinks.
Tanja et al. [2] adolescents with greater eating competence
greater meal frequency, higher intake of fruits and vegetables and more health-promoting family eating patterns.
Fewer household rules controlling food and eating [3,4] and free availability of energy dense foods [5]
higher obesity in children and adolescents.
Modelling parents who consumed a high intake of fruit and vegetables
were more likely to have children who also exhibit high fruit and vegetable intake [6].
Miller et al. [7] found that those who paid more attention to food labels
more likely to consume a healthy diet.
Bos et al. [8], found that perceptions of personal and societal effectiveness and fairness
positively influenced acceptance of interventions for low-calorie snack choices.
Further, encouraging low calorie snacks rather than discouraging high calorie choices was better received.
Ensaff et al. [10], found that taste, appearance, personal food history, habits and familiarity
important influences on food choice.
Individuals are not exposed to vegetable based meals at home
are less likely to choose plant-based foods elsewhere
Perceived behavioral control and confidence
predicted eating behavior in several studies involving university students [1,11] and young adults [12].
Menozzi [11] found that intentions and perceived behavioral control explained
68% of vegetable consumption in Italian students.
Deliens et al. [1] found that University students with higher perceived behavioral control, confidence and subjective norm
were less likely to consume soft drinks.
Low levels of confidence concerning the satiating capacity of food were associated
higher energy consumption among young adults in the study by Schiöth and colleagues [12].
Dimmock and colleagues [13] suggested that quality of motivation
is likely to influence cognitive processes such that those with controlled types of motivation will be susceptible to post-exercise consumption of pleasurable but unhealthy foods.
Behavior change theories
appear useful to understand the processes underpinning eating behavior.
Dalton and colleagues’ [18], on female participants, found that individuals characterized by the low satiety phenotype
also consumed more energy.
