  • Effect of visualising and re-expressing evidence of policy effectiveness on perceived effectiveness

    Open AccessJ P Reynolds, Alice Hobson et al.ARTICLEBehavioural Public Policy2022References: 8

    Communicating evidence that a policy is effective can increase public support although the effects are small. In the context of policies to increase healthier eating in out-of-home restaurants, we investigate two ways of presenting evidence for a policy's effectiveness: (i) visualising and (ii) re-expressing evidence into a more interpretable form. We conducted an online experiment in which participants were randomly allocated to one of five grou…

  • Effect of health warning labels on motivation towards energy-dense snack foods

    Open AccessMinna Ventsel, Emily Pechey et al.ARTICLEAppetite2022Cited by: 1References: 38

    Health warning labels (HWLs) show promise in reducing motivation towards energy-dense snack foods. Understanding the underlying mechanisms could optimise their effectiveness. In two experimental studies in general population samples (Study 1 n = 90; Study 2 n = 1382), we compared the effects of HWLs and irrelevant aversive labels (IALs) on implicit (approach) motivation towards unhealthy snacks, using an approach-avoidance task (Study 1), and a m…

  • Size and shape of plates and size of wine glasses and bottles

    Open AccessNatasha Clarke, Emily Pechey et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2021

    Smaller tableware (i.e. plates and wine glasses) decreases the amount of food and wine self-served in an initial serving. Future studies are required to generate estimates on selection and consumption in real world settings when numerous servings are possible.

    Open AccessLaura A Brocklebank, Anna K M Blackwell et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2021

    E-cigarette and smoking paraphernalia POS displays are near ubiquitous and highly visible in major tobacco retailers in two cities in England. The impact of these displays on tobacco smoking in children and adults is unknown, meriting urgent research to assess their effect on susceptibility to tobacco smoking in children

  • Impact of altering the available food options on selection

    Open AccessRachel Pechey, Natasha Clarke et al.ARTICLEAppetite2021Cited by: 5References: 20

    Increasing the availability of lower-energy foods increases their selection. The current studies examine the extent to which this effect could be mediated by social norms – assessed by perceived popularity of foods – which may be implied by their relative availability. Study 1 (Online): 2340 UK adults estimated the perceived popularity of products. Participants were randomised to see photos of cafeteria shelves varying in the availability of lowe…
