The effect of perceived responsibility on stigma toward people experiencing food insecurity and accessing food support
Introduction: University students are disproportionately at risk of food insecurity, and subsequent poor physical and mental health and low academic performance. However, students may not access food support due to associated stigma. Stigma toward people experiencing food insecurity is thought to partly originate from negative media stories which highlight the driving role of internal responsibility, despite research suggesting that external fact…
Psychometric evaluation of the Turkish version of anticipated effects of food scale (Aefs)
Purpose The purpose of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and psychometrically validate the Anticipated Effects of Food Scale (AEFS) for use in Türkiye. Design/methodology/approach A total of 742 adults completed an online survey including the AEFS, Palatable Eating Motives Scale (PEMS), and Eating Expectancy Inventory (EEI). The adaptation followed international guidelines for translation and test adaptation. Psychometric analyses in…
Lived experiences of food-related emotional expectancies across socioeconomic groups in adults with overweight/obesity
Emotional eating is associated with overweight/obesity and lower socioeconomic status. Food-related emotional expectancies-the anticipated emotional outcomes of consuming different foods-are theorised to be some of the potential drivers of emotional eating, and to be amenable to modification. However, the study of food-related emotional expectancies in relation to overweight/obesity and socioeconomic status is limited, with no qualitative researc…
Associations of self-control and dietary restraint with the home food environment during pregnancy and postpartum
The effect of perceived responsibility on stigma towards people experiencing food insecurity and accessing food support
Food in the news
Media reporting of the associations between intake of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and negative health outcomes has become common. The objective was to examine the impact of exposure to public facing information about UPFs on consumers in a laboratory experiment. In a mixed-design, we used a methodology that resulted in participants (N = 96: mean age = 46.28, 49 % female) being exposed to one of three mock news articles detailing: (1) the negativ…
Development and validation of a brief form of the Anticipated Effects of Food Scale
Identifying malleable influences on eating behaviours will advance our ability to improve physical and mental health. Food-related emotional expectancies are the anticipated positive and negative emotions from eating different foods and are theorised to affect eating behaviour, and to be amenable to change. The Anticipated Effects of Food Scale (AEFS) assesses food-related emotional expectancies using 62 one-word items; however, a shorter questio…

A randomized experiment of the effects of food advertisements on food-related emotional expectancies in adults
Food-related emotional expectancies influence food intake, yet little is known about their determinants. The present study objectives were to experimentally test how food advertisements affect food-related emotional expectancies in adults and whether effects differed by individual levels of "food addiction" symptoms. Participants ( n = 718; Mage = 35.88, 36.8% with food addiction) were randomly assigned to watch video advertisements for highly pr…
Health-promoting behaviors in the United States during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic
Highly processed food intake and immediate and future emotions in everyday life
A Pavlovian Intervention to Condition Comforting Effects of Fruits
OBJECTIVE: Perceived stress, lower fruit intake, and comfort eating are all risk factors for chronic disease. The present pilot study aimed to simultaneously mitigate all three risk factors by applying Pavlovian conditioning to change the nature of comfort eating. Specifically, stressed participants underwent a Pavlovian conditioning intervention designed to elicit comforting effects of fruit intake and thereby reduce negative mood while promotin…

Food-alcohol competition
Seminal health behaviour theories and behaviour modification techniques are applied to health behaviours individually. Limited empirical work investigates how change in one health behaviour may change another. This study proposes a food-alcohol competition hypothesis, where individuals tend to consume one rewarding substance to the other's exclusion. In a large sample of adolescent girls assessed yearly from age 15 to 19, Latent Growth Modelling …
Did That Brownie Do Its Job? Stress, Eating, and the Biobehavioral Effects of Comfort Food
Comfort eating is a widespread behavior, but does it actually work? The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of the existing research on the potentially comforting effects of comfort food. We begin by summarizing the existing nonhuman animal research in this area, and then summarize the human research. On the basis of this foundational research, we provide a conceptual model of comfort eating that can be used as a hypothesis‐generating …
