Did I overeat at lunch?” Gastric interoception - the sensing, interpretation, and regulation of signals from the gastrointestinal system - is central to daily behavior and homeostasis. Dysfunctional gastric interoception has been proposed as a maintenance factor in both eating disorders and gastrointestinal symptoms. However, no qualitative research has explored how individuals across these groups, and the general population, subjectively experience gastrointestinal signals, known as gastric interoceptive sensibility. This study aimed to investigate how gastric sensations are sensed, interpreted, and regulated among individuals with eating disorders, gastric disorders, and those without such diagnoses, focusing on identifying shared experiences. <em>Methods:</em> Fifteen semi-structured focus groups (n = 96) were conducted. Transcripts underwent hybrid deductive and inductive thematic analysis. <em>Findings:</em> Four key themes were identified. In “Sensations in the Interoceptive Body”, participants described hunger and fullness as physically aversive or reported an absence of cues related to satiation. “Perceiving the Interoceptive Body” captured the noticing, interpreting, attending to, and reacting to sensations of hunger, satiation, and fullness. In “Affective Experiences of the Interoceptive Body”, participants discussed how these sensations influenced emotional states positively, negatively, or not at all. “Responding to the Interoceptive Body” described participants strategies relating to relief-seeking, compensation, acceptance, distraction, and body checking in response to gastric sensations. <em>Discussion:</em> These findings shed light on the nuanced components of gastric interoceptive sensibility and suggest that individuals vary in how they experience and manage gastric signals. This work may inform interoceptive exposure therapies targeting maladaptive interpretations and regulation strategies in eating and gastrointestinal symptoms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 108299"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145038770","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}

This article aims to help fill this research gap by combining insights from social practice theory, ritual studies, and cultural sociology in order to explore ‘ritual intervention’ strategies. While interventions are usually thought of as initiated from the outside, this article capitalizes on the fact that people both reproduce practices and are able to initiate change through their performance. Using a co-creative approach, we invited young adults to intervene in their Christmas meal in ways that reduce meat consumption and to keep a logbook of their experiences. The logbooks were also used for follow-up interviews. The data were analyzed thematically, to identify distinct intervention strategies. The results show that research participants were able to reduce meat consumption by creatively and often unobtrusively renegotiating the centrality of meat, the ownership of the meal, and the ways in which commensality was achieved. On the other hand, participants found they could not interfere with important values, meanings and objectives associated with meat. Based on this case study, we conclude by articulating lessons for ritual intervention strategies in consumption practices. Such a strategy takes a bottom-up approach, capitalizes on the potential for change through performance, maintains the integrity of practices and identifies entry points for change in the ritual nature of consumption practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 108300"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145038808","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}

Receiving feedback on excess calories or exercise required to burn excess calories did not significantly impact the total number of calories purchased. There was some evidence to suggest that presence of feedback on total excess calories without previously seeing the calorie content of individual menu items increased likelihood of participants changing their order.

Participants in the experimental condition chose larger, later rewards over smaller, immediate rewards more frequently than those in the control condition, indicating lower delay discounting. However, the intervention did not result in statistically significant changes in soft drink or alcohol demand. These findings suggest that brief nature-based interventions may reduce delay discounting; however, longer or more intensive interventions may be necessary to meaningfully shift consumption patterns.

The quantitative component (Study 2) assessed the impact of marketing elements with 544 participants randomly assigned to five experimental conditions corresponding to packages designed following a stepwise reduction approach in the number of different marketing elements, progressively removing elements from a fully branded package to a plain version. Participants were asked to rate their degree of agreement with a series of statements. The qualitative findings revealed that a wide range of packaging elements, including material, graphic design, branding, and textual claims, captured mothers' attention and influenced their perceptions of infant formula. Despite the strong influence of packaging elements on perceptions, participants’ actual product choices were primarily determined by medical recommendations. Most participants responded more favorably to a commercial infant formula package with minimal marketing elements, whereas packages with prominent marketing claims were perceived as overly commercial and industrialized. The randomized controlled trial showed similar findings. The package featuring only a graphic design and brand logo was perceived more favorably than packages with extensive marketing claims, particularly among mothers who had previously used infant formula. Taken together, these results suggest that mandating plain packaging could further support informed decision-making.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 108282"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144931798","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}

While nudges have shown efficacy in steering food choices, concerns persist regarding individuals' autonomy, transparency and the durability of behavioural change. As an alternative, boosts seek to enhance consumers' competencies and support informed decision-making. However, there is a dearth of comparative research on nudges versus boosts, particularly regarding their ability to foster a sense of consumer responsibility for sustainable consumption (CRSC) – an important driver of long-term behavioural change. To address this gap, this study evaluates a “default+” nudge and an “information+” boost within a simulated food-delivery environment, while examining CRSC as a potential mediator. Employing a mixed design experiment (2 survey waves: intervention, follow-up; 3 conditions: nudge, boost, control), we collected data from 664 German consumers. Our primary outcome was the estimated CO<sub>2</sub> footprint of participants' hypothetical meal choices, calculated using established secondary emission data. Results show that the nudge intervention significantly reduced participants’ meal-related CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, whereas the boost intervention yielded considerably smaller and less consistent effects. However, neither intervention produced lasting effects in the follow-up survey, where choice architecture reverted to the control condition. Moreover, while higher CRSC induced lower emissions, neither the nudge nor the boost elevated CRSC, and thus the hypothesized mediating role of consumer responsibility was not supported. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these results for the design of effective sustainable food choice interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":242,"journal":{"name":"Appetite","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 108278"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144990949","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}

Consequently, it remains unclear whether the model applies to both male and female adults or whether the model explains different variances in the distinct dimensions of intuitive eating, particularly in non-Western contexts (e.g., China). Thus, the present study aimed to address these gaps by testing the model in a sample of Chinese male (<em>N</em> = 377) and female (<em>N</em> = 355) adults and by applying the model to explain the four distinct dimensions of intuitive eating (i.e., Unconditional Permission to Eat [UPE], Eating for Physical Rather Than Emotional Reasons [EPR], Reliance on Hunger and Satiety Cues [RHSC], and Body-Food Choice Congruence [BFCC]). Path analysis was conducted to evaluate the model for male and female adults and test sex differences. Results showed adequate fit for both male and female adults. Specifically, in both male and female adults, unconditional acceptance was positively related to body acceptance from others. Body acceptance by others was positively associated with body appreciation. Emphasis on body function was positively correlated with some intuitive eating dimensions.
