A study comparing positive benefits for parents, and their children, of children attending the UK’s holiday activities and food program to parents of non-attendees
The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) is a UK Department for Education (DfE) funded program that provides free food and activities for 5–16-year-olds in receipt of means-tested free school meals. This evaluation focuses on parent/caregiver perceptions of HAF benefits during the 2021 and 2022 school holidays for a sample of parents/caregivers whose children attended HAF ( n = 736) and a sample who did not attend HAF ( n = 885). The results show th…
The daily experience of hunger in UK females with and without food insecurity
Food insecurity (FI) is associated with increased mortality risk, depression, and obesity in females in high-income countries, but causal mechanisms remain unclear. FI is often assumed to lead to increased levels of hunger. However, quantitative evidence describing daily experiences of hunger in FI is lacking. Our pre-registered study used ecological momentary assessment to capture experiences of hunger in two groups of UK-based females: those ex…
No effect of hunger on attentional capture by food cues
Food cues potently capture human attention, and it has been suggested that hunger increases their propensity to do so. However, the evidence for such hunger-related attentional biases is weak. We focus on one recent study that did show significantly greater attentional capture by food cues when participants were hungry, using an Emotional Blink of Attention (EBA) task [Piech, Pastorino, & Zald, 2010. Appetite, 54, 579-582]. We conducted online (N…
No effect of hunger on attentional capture by visual food cues
Cross-country relationships between life expectancy, intertemporal choice and age at first birth
The behavioural constellation of deprivation
Socioeconomic differences in behaviour are pervasive and well documented, but their causes are not yet well understood. Here, we make the case that a cluster of behaviours is associated with lower socioeconomic status (SES), which we call “the behavioural constellation of deprivation.” We propose that the relatively limited control associated with lower SES curtails the extent to which people can expect to realise deferred rewards, leading to mor…
