The unfiltered truth about social media
The impact of fitness and supplement TikTok content on body, nutrition and fitness satisfaction, and intentions to use muscle-building substances in young men
Social media use has been linked to body image concerns and engagement in appearance-altering behaviours in men. The present online study aimed to experimentally examine the impact of idealised TikTok content on body satisfaction, nutrition satisfaction, fitness satisfaction, and intentions to use muscle-building substances in young men. A sample of 282 participants who identified as male were randomly allocated to one of three conditions (fitnes…
Psychometric evaluation of Body Appreciation Scale for Children short forms among Australian children
The Body Appreciation Scale-2 for Children (BAS-2C) is a widely used, psychometrically robust measure of body appreciation in children. However, in time-limited or school-based settings, briefer measures may reduce participant burden and improve data quality. This study examined the psychometric properties of two three-item trait short forms of body appreciation among Australian children aged 10-12 years (N = 303), using data from a larger projec…
The Effect of body Positive Social Media on Young Women with a History of Emotional Abuse and/or Bullying Victimization
This study examined the effect of body-positive images from social media on mood and body satisfaction in young women who experienced childhood emotional abuse and/or bullying victimization compared to those without such adversities. A sample of 197 females aged 18–35 years was randomly assigned to view either body-positive, thin-ideal or neutral images, and rated their levels of mood and body satisfaction before and after viewing the images. Par…
Effect of a delay discounting intervention on soft drink and alcohol demand
Media multitasking, negative mood, and avoidance coping
Media multitasking is a prevalent phenomenon especially among adolescents and young adults. This study explored the possibility that media multitasking is used as an avoidance coping strategy against stress. If so, media multitasking behaviour could be monitored to detect symptoms of anxiety and depression. Across three experiments, participants completed measures of media multitasking, anxiety, depression, and cognitive behavioural avoidance. In…
Vegetable and Fruit Consumption and Psychological Distress
This study aims to determine the association between vegetable and fruit consumption and other lifestyle factors and the prevalence of psychological distress. Sex differences in these relationships are also examined. Data from 45,717 participants aged 18 and older, obtained via the Australian Bureau of Statistics National Health Survey (years 2011-12, 2014-15, and 2017-18), were analysed using logistic regression with jackknife parameter estimati…
Healthy vending machines on campus
Objective: To investigate whether the introduction of healthy vending machines on a university campus could increase the proportion of healthy food and beverage purchases. Design: Four new healthy vending machines offering a wider range of healthier food and beverages were installed alongside existing machines. These new machines used traffic light colours to indicate nutritional value. A year after their installation, a traffic light text guide …
A systematic review and meta-analysis of visual cues and primes for nudging consumption-related behaviours
Vending machine backgrounds
Soft drink overconsumption is a growing public health concern. The present research investigated whether priming nudges could decrease soft drink choices from a vending machine. We compared the effect of six vending machine wraps (Mount Franklin TM logo, Coca-ColaTM logo, picture of water, picture of soft drink, blue, red) on beverage choice against a black (control) computerised vending machine display. In two studies, young adult participants (…
Effects of traffic light labelling and increased healthy range on beverage choices from vending machines
Objective: To test whether traffic light labels and an increased range of healthy beverages, individually and in combination, can increase healthy beverage choices from vending machines. Design: Two studies ( n 558, 420) tested whether the provision of traffic light labels (green, amber and red) and an increased range of healthy beverages (from 20 % to 50 % green options), individually and in combination, could increase healthy beverage choices f…
The effectiveness of Go/No-Go and Stop-Signal training in reducing food consumption and choice
Relationships between social media, body image, physical activity, and anabolic-androgenic steroid use in men
I'll have what She's having (but not what They're having)
The modern food-rich environment has contributed to the rise of unhealthy diets linked to noncommunicable diseases. Previous in-person research has found that the effect of social norms on food intake is greater when set by a perceived in-group member relative to an out-group member. Given recent increased social media use, we investigated whether this effect of group membership extends to food choices and to normative information presented remot…

The bogus taste test
Because overconsumption of food contributes to ill health, understanding what affects how much people eat is of importance. The 'bogus' taste test is a measure widely used in eating behaviour research to identify factors that may have a causal effect on food intake. However, there has been no examination of the validity of the bogus taste test as a measure of food intake. We conducted a participant level analysis of 31 published laboratory studie…
The phenomenology of food cravings
Combined effects of cognitive bias for food cues and poor inhibitory control on unhealthy food intake
Components of attentional bias for food cues among restrained eaters
Bias modification training can alter approach bias and chocolate consumption
The effect of self-initiated weight-loss dieting on working memory
The selective impact of chocolate craving on visuospatial working memory
The present study aimed to extend previous research into cognitive impairments as a consequence of food craving. In particular, the study examined the impact of chocolate craving on the three components of working memory: the phonological loop, the visuospatial sketchpad, and the central executive, assessed by the digit span, Corsi blocks, and the double span tasks, respectively. A sample of 96 female undergraduate students was randomly assigned …

General Lifestyle Activities as a Predictor of Current Cognition and Cognitive Change in Older Adults
General lifestyle activities were examined as a predictor of current cognition and cognitive change over a 6-year interval in older adults. Participants were drawn from a population-based longitudinal study, and they completed the Adelaide Activities Profile and a battery of tests measuring cognition and sensory functioning. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that, after sensory functioning was controlled for, activity was a significant pr…
Inhibitory self-control moderates the effect of changed implicit food evaluations on snack food consumption
The current study used a modified implicit association test (IAT) to change implicit evaluations of unhealthy snack food and tested its effects on subsequent consumption. Furthermore, we investigated whether these effects were moderated by inhibitory self-control. A sample of 148 women (17-25 years) motivated to manage weight through healthy eating completed an IAT intervention, and pre- and post-intervention IATs assessing implicit evaluations o…
Working memory components of the Corsi blocks task
A computerized version of the Corsi blocks task (Milner, 1971) was assessed for standard forward-recall order (Experiments 1 and 3) and for reversed-recall order (Experiments 2 and 3) either in a single-task or in a dual-task design combined with articulatory suppression, matrix-tapping, random-interval generation or fixed-interval generation as concurrent tasks during the encoding stage. Concurrent performance of the matrix-tapping task impaired…
