Previous studies have highlighted the significance of comprehending the cultures of ethnic minorities and their cultural dimensions in the context of marketing context. There is still a research gap in discussing the effect of multicultural experience on attitudes towards foods. This study evaluates the role of sociocultural factors, such as traveling and sojourning and multicultural sensitivity, on consumers' attitudes toward new foods in the United States. The results show significant effects of sociocultural factors and consumers' perceptions of cultural differences on consumers' openness to new foods. The findings provide insights into the food industry and policymakers regarding approvals and market strategies for introducing new and foreign imported foods.

Understanding pregnant individuals' attitudes toward eating and weight can provide insight into prenatal health behavior. Accordingly, we developed and performed initial psychometric testing of a self-report measure, the Pregnancy Eating Attitudes-Questionnaire (PEA-Q), among individuals with pre-pregnancy BMI≥25. Pregnant participants with pre-pregnancy BMI≥25 (N = 213), who predominantly identified as racially minoritized (51% Black/African American) and lower income (66% ≤$30,000/year), enrolled in a longitudinal study. Participants completed 25 candidate PEA-Q items and eating- and weight-related measures. We conducted exploratory factor analysis to determine PEA-Q factor structure, calculated internal consistency coefficients of the extracted factors, and assessed convergent and discriminant validity. An 11-item, three-factor solution produced excellent model fit. Factors were interpreted as Permissive Eating and Weight Attitudes (e.g., \"Pregnancy is a 'free pass' to eat any type of food that I want; \" α = .82), Intentional Eating Changes (e.g., \"I need to eat more food each day because I am pregnant; \" α = .81), and Lack of Worry about Eating and Weight (e.g., \"I am not concerned about eating too much now that I am pregnant; \" α = .83). Each factor showed small-to-moderate correlations with measures of gestational weight gain and/or dietary intake and was not correlated with eating pathology measures, demonstrating adequate convergent and discriminant validity, respectively. This novel self-report measure seems to adequately capture pregnancy-related attitudes toward eating and weight among pregnant individuals with BMI≥25. Further testing is required to confirm these preliminary findings and determine generalizability.","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":" ","pages":"107828"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142851707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the aim of the present work was to explore factors influencing fruit and vegetable consumption among Uruguayan adults. A telephone survey with 505 adults, living in Montevideo and involved in food purchasing for the household, was conducted by a specialized company in May 2024. Participants were asked to indicate the number of days they consumed fruit in a typical week and the number of servings they ate in each of those days. They were also asked to indicate whether they regarded their fruit and vegetable consumption as sufficient or not. Those answering negatively were asked to indicate the reasons underlying their insufficient consumption. Participants also answered a series of socio-demographic questions. Results showed that only 12.4% of the participants consumed at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables per day. Gender and socio-economic status were identified as the main socio-demographic predictors of fruit and vegetable consumption. Fruit and vegetable intake was frequently perceived as sufficient, even if it was below national recommendations. A wide range of factors emerged as motives underlying insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables, including lack of habits, cost, dislike, and perceived difficulty for preparing or cooking vegetables. These results stress the need to implement multicomponent strategies to address deficiencies in fruit and vegetable consumption in the country.","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":" ","pages":"107824"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142833423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas much research has focused on the effects of actual satiety on cognitive performance, the influence of expectations regarding effects of satiety on performance remains underexplored. This study aims to address this gap by examining how the expectation of satiety influences cognitive outcomes, building on existing findings that highlight the role of placebo effects in shaping eating behaviour. This study manipulated participants' expectations of how their satiety (satiated versus hungry) affects their concentration through verbal placebo suggestions and measured effects on their cognitive performance. The sample consisted of four groups who were either satiated or hungry and either read the suggestion that their satiety state enhances or deteriorates their concentration. The suggestion was formulated as a scientific finding. Cognitive performance was measured remotely using a Simon Task. Results showed that if participants' actual satiety state was paired with a positive expectation regarding the state they were in, their performance was better than if it was paired with a negative expectation regarding their current satiety state. So, actual satiety state was not the main driver of cognitive performance, but what participants were led to believe about their current satiety state was. These findings suggest that instructions in intervention studies should be phrased carefully to avoid expectation-related confounds. Additionally, verbal placebo suggestions could be a promising method to enhance cognitive performance in daily life.","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":" ","pages":"107823"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142833420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Open-label placebos (OLPs), which avoid the ethical concerns associated with deception, have shown promise in various fields. This is the first study to test the effects of OLPs on appetite, desire for sweet taste and visual attention for high-sugar foods.Methods: In this preregistered laboratory study, fifty-three females (mean age = 22.8 years) were presented with image pairs depicting food high vs. low in sugar as well as non-food items. The image presentation was conducted once with and without an OLP. Different indicators of visual attention (total fixation duration, number of fixations, first fixation location), general appetite and the desire to eat the depicted food items were assessed. Moreover, participants tasted and evaluated a sucrose solution to determine their desire for the sweet taste.Results: The OLP decreased general appetite (p = .005, ηp2 = .09) and the desire to taste the sucrose solution again (p = .036, d = .30). The intervention did not affect visual attention: both conditions (with/without OLP) were characterized by a longer total fixation duration and a higher number of fixations for images with low-sugar food compared to high-sugar food when presented alongside images of non-food.Conclusion: The OLP did not reduce visual attention toward images of high-sugar food, and OLP effects were only observed in self-report measures. Future research should elaborate on how the efficacy of OLPs can be improved or whether deception is necessary to decrease visual attention via placebos.","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":" ","pages":"107820"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142826546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiences of stigma in a variety of domains in addition to weight may intersect to exacerbate these outcomes. Participants in two samples (one of 327 women and men from the general population and one of 128 female university students) reported experiences of devaluation on three body size and eight non-body size-related characteristics (referred to as multiple devaluation experience or MDE) and completed assessments of emotional eating (EE), feeling fat, weight self-stigma, impulsivity, and irrational beliefs. Participants were also asked to rate their body weight. MDE was correlated with elevated weight self-devaluation and anticipation of weight stigma, negative EE (NEE), feeling fat, and impulsivity in both men and women. None of these measures moderated the relationship between MDE and EE. The positive relationship between MDE and NEE was mediated by anticipated weight stigma only in women in the general population sample at higher levels of irrational beliefs. The positive relationship between MDE and body mass index (BMI) was mediated by NEE in women in the general population. The positive relationship between MDE and perceived body weight was mediated by feeling fat in women in both samples. These results suggest that women's experiences of stigma may increase anticipation of ongoing stigma, prompting NEE and resulting in elevated BMI. The results also suggest that feelings of fatness could lead to an elevation of women's perceived body weight, which in prospective studies is linked to later elevation of actual weight.","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":" ","pages":"107816"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142826550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, the attitudes and motivations underpinning their adoption still evolve and may differ by region. In Argentina, where meat consumption per capita is among the highest globally, the market for plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs) is just beginning to develop. Few reports attempt to explain the behavior of the Argentinian population regarding these products. This study explored the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of meat analogues and hybrid products through a national online survey (N = 2339). Also, barriers and drivers to their consumption as well as the target segments were identified. Participants were classified as omnivores 73.8%, flexitarians 19.5%, vegetarians 6%, and vegans 0.7%. Despite the significant lack of awareness about PBMAs, there is a strong willingness to adopt them, with females, younger respondents, and those with lower incomes more open to these options. The main drivers for consumption were health concerns, animal welfare, and environmental awareness. Familiarity was a key factor influencing the adoption, as evidenced by the openness of well-informed omnivores. Lack of available options represented the main limitation for consumption and distrust regarding their origin and sensory appeal were the primary reasons for rejection. This study reveals a potential market for PBMAs in Argentina, highlighting that guaranteeing nutritional and sensory quality is crucial. Educating consumers is also essential for their widespread acceptance.","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":" ","pages":"107817"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142823501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study explored 15 Swedish children's thoughts, experiences and approaches to V&F consumption. Individual interviews were conducted with 10- to 12-year-old children (eight girls and seven boys) of diverse cultural backgrounds. The interviews were thematically analysed, and a final step adopted a phenomenographic approach. The results reveal that the children thought of V&F as healthy, but their knowledge of V&F's health effects was fragmented and lacked context. They named both adults and their peers as important in encouraging or discouraging them from consuming V&F. Many of them also described creative and playful uses of V&F. From the children's thoughts and experiences, the following elements were identified as influencing their V&F consumption: (1) the V&F's taste and serving style, (2) the impact of others, (3) beliefs about V&F's healthiness and (4) their conscious habits and choices. The researchers categorised the children's different ways of relating to the elements as the following approaches to children's V&F consumption: 'The food determines what I eat', 'Other people determine what I eat', 'My knowledge determines what I eat' and 'My conscious habits determine what I eat'. We suggest that future efforts to promote children's V&F consumption consider these approaches, for example by supporting peer norms, sensory play and training and more comprehensive age-appropriate explanations of V&F's health effects as well as educational tools that empower children to self-monitor habits that facilitate their adequate consumption of V&F.","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":" ","pages":"107819"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142816719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
