A multi‐dimensional scaling exploration of ten year olds’ food combination rules
This exploratory investigation concerned the non‐random ways in which foods are served together in meals. The names of 40 common foods were arranged in pairs and presented randomly in sets of 39 pairs (per form) to each of 650 ten‐year‐olds. The children were asked to indicate “how well the foods in each pair would go together to form a nice meal,” using a three point scale. They also described the foods on sixteen adjectival scales. Multidimensi…
Australian ten year olds' perceptions of food
Two studies of senior primary school children's food perceptions are reported. In the first 481 boys and girls judged twelve foods on eleven food properties (attributes). Few differences between the sexes’ perceptions were found. The boys and girls appeared to view the foods along two cognitive dimensions. The first was a food belief continuum contrasting “fattening” and “healthy” foods; the second was a sensory preference continuum. In the secon…
Australian ten year olds' perceptions of foods
Two studies were carried out into the relationships between paternal social status and ten year olds’ perceptions of food. The first examined 420 children's views of fourteen foods on eleven food properties. The influence of paternal social status was minimal. The second study, of 580 children, examined their views of 40 foods over 16 attributes. A randomized sample of foods was presented to each child on two forms. The results showed major diffe…
