VR Versus IRL Walking
Background: Virtual reality (VR) is a potential solution to the lack of causal evidence regarding how changing the physical environment can increase walking. For VR to be employed in walkability research, the degree to which walking in VR mimics the real world (RW) must be quantified. Methods: In a preregistered study, 39 participants walked in a historic RW district and in a VR replica. In both environments, participants completed “errands” by e…
Physical activity promotion based on positive psychology
BACKGROUND: Regular physical activity (PA) is associated with positive health outcomes; however, rates of regular PA are low. Positive psychology interventions are efficacious in other health contexts and may be useful for promoting regular PA. PURPOSE: Phased development and pilot/feasibility testing of a positive psychology intervention to promote PA using the ORBIT model for behavioral treatment development. METHODS: Positive psychology and PA…
Environmental Physical Activity Cues and Children’s Active vs. Sedentary Recreation
Physical activity (PA) benefits health, and intensive environmental modifications can increase children's PA. Research has not yet addressed if subtle environmental cues, such as posters depicting PA, increase child PA. In the current study, it was hypothesized that children exposed to active posters (vs. nature posters) would spend a larger proportion of free play time engaging with active toys (relative to sedentary toys). Participants were ran…
GMO Food Labels Do Not Affect College Student Food Selection, Despite Negative Attitudes towards GMOs
US Public Law 114-216 dictates that food producers in the United States of America will be required to label foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) starting in 2022; however, there is little empirical evidence demonstrating how U.S. consumers would use food labels that indicate the presence or absence of GMOs. The aim of this two-phase study was to determine how attitudes towards GMOs relate to food choices and how labels indicati…
Veterinary-Prescribed Physical Activity
Physical inactivity remains a global epidemic leading to an estimated 5 million preventable deaths per year. Although there exist numerous public-health campaigns aimed at increasing physical activity (PA), a potentially fruitful but underexplored avenue to promote both human and animal health is veterinary-prescribed PA programs. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and acceptability of incorporating veterinary-prescribed PA pr…
Intersectional health disparities
This study uses Intersectionality-informed methods to quantitatively examine experiences of discrimination and depressive symptoms among historically marginalised populations. Using mediation models and data from Project STRIDE collected in 2005–2006, discrimination (attributed to gender and/or sexual orientation and/or race/ethnicity) was modelled as a mediator between identity and depressive symptoms among seven diverse identity-based subgroups…
