  • Combining social media literacy with self-compassion

    Open AccessMichaela R Buehler, David R Kolar et al.ARTICLEBody Image2026

    During teenage years and early adulthood, many women experience high stress levels regarding their appearance. Especially appearance-related comparisons on social media fuel body dissatisfaction. To remedy this, both social media literacy and self-compassion interventions have each been shown as separately effective but are rarely implemented together. The SoSelf training does so in the context of an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study. T…

  • Well-being and cultural identity in migrant acculturative stress

    Open AccessChristine Emmer, Frauke Mann et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2026

    OBJECTIVE: Migration involves adapting to new cultural settings while retaining one's culture, which can lead to acculturative stress, a risk factor for migrant health and identity. METHODS: We investigated the interplay between acculturative stress, well-being, cultural identity, and the protective role of physical activity using a 7-day-diary-methodology with 266 participants with migration history (1,473 observations). RESULTS: = 0.072). Suppo…

  • Two forks, one meal

    Open AccessIra Elisa Herwig, Vanessa Knobl et al.ARTICLEAppetite2026Referencias: 43

    Eating together is central to daily life in romantic couples, and food choices are often shared rather than individual. We examined the interdependence in shared food systems of romantic couples with a focus on shared meal frequency and meat consumption similarity. We investigate how shared food systems affect health and how these effects are moderated by gender and couple gender composition (different-vs. same-gender couples). This preregistered…

  • La colmena y la polis

    Open AccessSara De Moraes, Jhonatan Mata et al.ARTICLERazón y Palabra2025

    Cómo pueden los adolescentes considerarse parte de la ciudad y ejercer la ciudadanía en Brasil? Este derecho choca con una serie de cuestiones que incluyen intereses económicos y políticos. Y van más allá del acceso a los teléfonos móviles y otros dispositivos tecnológicos. Recordando el concepto de «sociedad red» de Castells (1999), la alta capacidad de incorporación de cualquier nuevo insumo deja poco espacio para que los movimientos que propic…

  • From cigarettes to symptoms

    Open AccessMaja P Völker, Chiara Callies et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Our findings support an association between smoking and depression. Robust dose-response relationships were found, with higher cigarette consumption associated with more severe depressive symptoms, and longer time since cessation linked to lower depression levels. These results highlight smoking as a meaningful and modifiable contributor to current and lifetime depression, suggesting that quitting smoking or reducing cigarette consumption may ben…

  • Exploring the role of adolescents in healthier, more sustainable family meals

    Open AccessJhonatan Mata, Vanessa Knobl et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 46

    OBJECTIVE: Can children's preferences make family meals healthier and more sustainable? Extending cultural evolution theory, we explored the children's role in a possible bottom-up transmission of meat preferences to their parents in the context of family meals. METHODS: = 50.5 years; 67% daughters, 93% mothers; 14% of children and 0% of parents followed a vegetarian/vegan diet; 82% of children were still in school; 42% of parents had a bachelor'…

  • Exercise and eating motivation in weight loss maintenance

    Open AccessAntónio L Palmeira, Eliana V Carraça et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Behavioral Medicine2025Referencias: 41

    OBJECTIVE: Physical activity and nutrition-related behaviors are crucial factors in maintaining weight loss. The interplay between the motivations to consistently engage in both behaviors is a fundamental yet understudied topic. The current study examines the reciprocal effects between exercise and eating motivation and their effect on steps and energy intake over a 12-month period. METHODS: Data were gathered from 678 NoHoW participants (a weigh…

  • Deliberate ignorance—a barrier for information interventions targeting reduced meat consumption

    Philipp Kadel, Ira Elisa Herwig et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2024

    OBJECTIVE: Despite abundant information about negative consequences of consuming meat, consumption in many Western countries is many times higher than recommended. One possible explanation for this discrepancy is that people consciously decide to ignore such information-a phenomenon called deliberate ignorance. We investigated this potential barrier for information interventions aiming to reduce meat consumption. METHODS: In three studies, a tota…

  • The immediate effect of discrimination on mental health

    Christine Emmer, Julia Dorn et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2024

    0.30) had the largest effects on mental health. Convenience sampling compromised generalizability to subgroups and the general population, downgrading methodological quality for all included studies. When interpreting the findings, selective samples (mostly young female adults with higher education), often limited ecological validity, and ethical restrictions of lab-induced discrimination need to be considered. These constraints likely led to con…

  • Intersecting perspectives

    Open AccessVanessa Knobl, Jhonatan MataARTICLEAppetite2024Citada por: 4Referencias: 30

    Adolescents in Germany eat fewer animal products than their parents, often for sustainability reasons. We investigated how adolescents differ from their parents' generation in sustainability food-choice motives, consumption of animal products, and corresponding behaviors such as advocating for and influencing decisions towards more sustainable family meals. In an online questionnaire, an educationally diverse sample of 500 adolescents (M = 17.9 y…

  • From Pixels to Palate

    Open AccessPhilipp Kadel, Nicolas Heist et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 44

    Social media is an increasingly important yet understudied context for eating behaviors in general and veganism in particular. In four studies, we first explored and described the information environment the platform Instagram presents related to veganism. Second, we examined how engaging with this environment is associated with offline eating intentions via psychological mechanisms. We scraped datasets of Instagram posts tagged with #vegan (44,3…

  • Equity Effects of Dietary Nudging Field Experiments

    Open AccessBenjamin Schüz, Hannah Meyerhof et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Background: Dietary behaviours are among the key modifiable risk factors for non-communicable diseases. Importantly, dietary behaviours vary substantially between groups and individuals with different socioeconomic positions, with more disadvantaged groups and individuals being exposed to more dietary risk factors. The goal of this review is to summarise the existing research on equity effects of dietary nudging interventions. Methods: Systematic…

  • The association between weight stigma and mental health

    Open AccessChristine Emmer, Michael Bosnjak et al.ARTICLEObesity Reviews2020

    In recent years, there has been considerable research on the relation between weight stigma and mental health, but no quantitative synthesis of the empirical evidence is available to date. This meta‐analysis (105 studies, 59 172 participants, and 497 effect sizes) fills this gap by quantifying the association between weight stigma and mental health. Age, gender, and factors presumed to exert a protective role (i.e., adaptive coping strategies and…

  • The Role of Constructiveness in Interparental Conflict for Mothers' Perception of Children's Health

    Objective To examine how constructiveness in interparental conflict affects mothers' perception of children's psychological and physical health and whether coparenting and positive parenting mediate these effects. Background Children exposed to high levels of interparental conflict are at elevated risk of developing health problems. However, previous research suggests that constructive and destructive interparental conflict may affect children's …

  • Feeling interrupted—Being responsive

    Open AccessSabine Sonnentag, Leonard Reinecke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2017Citada por: 16Referencias: 13

    Being constantly connected to others via e‐mail and other online messages is increasingly typical for many employees. In this paper, we develop and test a model that specifies how interruptions by online messages relate to negative and positive affect. We hypothesize that perceived interruptions by online messages predict state negative affect via time pressure and that perceived interruptions predict state positive affect via responsiveness to t…
