When and Why Beliefs About the Causes of a Policy Problem Predict Policy Support
The relationship between beliefs about the causes of a policy-relevant issue (causal beliefs) and attitudes towards that policy (policy support) is complicated, with contradictory empirical results. The current research offers an explanation for this: causal beliefs only predict policy support when they are specific and correspond with the policy. We test this across six studies ( N = 10,728; quota-representative samples of U.K. and US population…
The Impact of Communicating the Benefits and Safety of Psilocybin on Policy Support
Communicating the benefits and safety of psilocybin can increase psilocybin policy support and strengthen beliefs about psilocybin, however further research is needed to explore the longevity of these results
Public Communication about Science in 68 Countries
This 68-country survey ( n = 71,922) examines science information diets and communication behavior, identifies cross-country differences, and tests how such differences are associated with sociopolitical and economic conditions. We find that social media are the most used sources of science information in most countries, except those with democratic-corporatist media systems where news media tend to be used more widely. People in collectivist soc…
The effect of Position and Availability interventions on adolescents’ food choice
Interventions that alter characteristics of the food environment have been found to reduce energy intake in adults. However, few studies have examined the effect of Availability (reducing the number of higher energy options) and Position (altering the order of options) interventions on food choices by younger populations. Hence, this study examined the individual and combined effects of Availability and Position interventions on adolescents' ener…
Establishing open science research priorities in health psychology
OBJECTIVE: Research on Open Science practices in Health Psychology is lacking. This meta-research study aimed to identify research question priorities and obtain consensus on the Top 5 prioritised research questions for Open Science in Health Psychology. METHODS AND MEASURES: An international Delphi consensus study was conducted. Twenty-three experts in Open Science and Health Psychology within the European Health Psychology Society (EHPS) sugges…

Effect of visualising and re-expressing evidence of policy effectiveness on perceived effectiveness
Communicating evidence that a policy is effective can increase public support although the effects are small. In the context of policies to increase healthier eating in out-of-home restaurants, we investigate two ways of presenting evidence for a policy's effectiveness: (i) visualising and (ii) re-expressing evidence into a more interpretable form. We conducted an online experiment in which participants were randomly allocated to one of five grou…
Public support for policies to improve population and planetary health
Communicating Evidence about the Causes of Obesity and Support for Obesity Policies
Public support for numerous obesity policies is low, which is one barrier to their implementation. One reason for this low support is the tendency to ascribe obesity to failings of willpower as opposed to the environment. Correlational evidence supports this position. However, the experimental evidence is mixed. In two experimental studies, participants were randomised to receive no message, messages about the environment's influence on obesity (…
The relationship between individual differences in spontaneous self-affirmation and affect associated with self-weighing
Increasing the proportion of healthier foods available with and without reducing portion sizes and energy purchased in worksite cafeterias
The study was prospectively registered on ISRCTN (date: 24.05.19; TRN: ISRCTN87225572; doi: https://doi.org/10.1186/ISRCTN87225572)
Public acceptability of nudging and taxing to reduce consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and food
There is growing evidence for the effectiveness of choice architecture or 'nudge' interventions to change a range of behaviours including the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and food. Public acceptability is key to implementing these and other interventions. However, few studies have assessed public acceptability of these interventions, including the extent to which acceptability varies with the type of intervention, the target behaviour and with…
Communicating quantitative evidence of policy effectiveness and support for the policy
Increasing the prices of products that harm health is an effective intervention for changing behaviour to improve health but public support for such interventions is generally low. The current paper investigates whether communicating evidence of a policy's effectiveness at tackling the focal problem could increase support. Across three studies we develop an infographic for communicating quantitative evidence of the effectiveness of a hypothetical…
Monitoring personal finances
When do people check the balance of their personal bank accounts? To investigate this issue, we examined whether the monitoring of personal finances is influenced by peoples’ perceptions of their progress toward financial goals and their regulatory focus (i.e., whether the goal involves attaining a positive outcome or avoiding a negative outcome). Study 1 examined how often participants logged into their online bank accounts to check their balanc…
