When does food act as a social surrogate? The interplay of need to belong and social context
Although food is often described as a 'social surrogate', that is a non-human social target, little is known about how individual differences in the need to belong interact with contexts that satisfy more or less belongingness needs to shape food intake. This experiment addressed this question by examining consumption across three contexts: a control condition (bogus taste test of three ice cream flavors), a social food condition (ice cream expli…
Sustainable and Resilient Agrifood Systems ( Saras ). A Leibniz Position
Current agrifood systems fail to provide healthy, affordable food for all while also damaging the environment, contributing to climate change, reducing biodiversity, and increasing inequality. Given these compounding crises, it is crucial to transition towards sustainable and resilient agrifood systems (SARAS). This paper synthesizes perspectives from multiple disciplines on SARAS, incorporating consensus statements, current research positions, a…
Advancing Sustainable Development
Against the backdrop of populist attacks on science and sustainable development, the Sustainability Science Summit 2025 focused on advancing sustainability transformations. With over 30 sessions structured around three high-level panel discussions, it addressed global challenges in sustainability science, the transformation of research practices, and the science-policy interface
The Relation of Threat Level and Age With Protective Behavior Intentions During Covid-19 in Germany
To contain the spread of Covid-19, engagement in protective behaviors across the population is of great importance. The present study investigated protective behavior intentions during the early phases of Covid-19 in Germany (February 2–April 3, 2020) as a function of threat level and age using data from 4,940 participants in the EUCLID project. Results indicated that the intention to engage in social distancing increased sharply with threat leve…
Stigmatization of Chinese and Asian-looking people during the Covid-19 pandemic in Germany
The present findings provide good news in that participants showed an adaptive response to the infectious disease threat rather than displaying increased stigmatization. Further research is necessary to specify the conditions that increase the risk of stigmatization in response to infectious disease threats
Pessimistic health and optimistic wealth distributions perceptions in Germany and the UK
Respondents in both Germany and the UK have profoundly negative misperceptions regarding the distribution of health, which contrasts with starkly positive misperceptions regarding the distribution of wealth, indicating that the public is healthier but poorer than they think. More importantly, from a public health perspective, a high level of consensus emerged, with both healthy and wealthy participants misperceiving health and wealth distribution…
Early social exposure and later affiliation processes within an evolving social network
Understanding traditional and modern eating
Across the world, there has been a movement from traditional to modern eating, including a movement of traditional eating patterns from their origin culture to new cultures, and the emergence of new foods and eating behaviors. This trend toward modern eating is of particular significance because traditional eating has been related to positive health outcomes and sustainability. Yet, there is no consensus on what constitutes traditional and modern…
Boosting healthy food choices by meal colour variety
German Clinical Trials Register, DRKS00017552 (Study 3; retrospectively registered on 24 th June 2019)
Measuring eating motives in older adults with and without functional impairments with The Eating Motivation Survey (Tems)
The Eating Motivation Survey
Objective Research has shown that there is a large variety of different motives underlying why people eat what they eat, which can be assessed with The Eating Motivation Survey (TEMS). The present study investigates the consistency and measurement invariance of the fifteen basic motives included in TEMS in countries with greatly differing eating environments. Design The fifteen-factor structure of TEMS (brief version: forty-six items) was tested …
Predictors of food decision making
Positive Self-perceptions of Aging Promote Healthy Eating Behavior Across the Life Span via Social-Cognitive Processes
This study provides important insights into the mechanisms behind positive SPA fueling successful health behavior change dynamics. Fostering more positive SPA through interventions might be especially important for vulnerable groups. Addressing SPA already in younger ages might help establish health-promoting life-span dynamics

Communicating eating-related rules. Suggestions are more effective than restrictions
Comparative optimism about healthy eating
Opportunities and challenges of Web 2.0 for vaccination decisions
Candy or apple? How self-control resources and motives impact dietary healthiness in women
Vegetarianism and food perception. Selective visual attention to meat pictures
The Spirited, the Observant, and the Disheartened
The social concepts of optimism, pessimism, and realism were investigated by assessing the prototypical acts (thoughts, feelings, goals, and actions) that laypersons assign to optimists, pessimists, and realists responding to a controllable and an uncontrollable situation. Optimists and realists, but not pessimists, were seen as adjusting their behavior to the situation. However, whereas optimists were characterized by flexibility in thoughts and…
Social-cognitive predictors of health behavior
The effects of social-cognitive variables on preventive nutrition and behavioral intentions were studied in 580 adults at 2 points in time. The authors hypothesized that optimistic self-beliefs operate in 2 phases and made a distinction between action self-efficacy (preintention) and coping self-efficacy (postintention). Risk perceptions, outcome expectancies, and action self-efficacy were specified as predictors of the intention at Wave 1. Behav…
