Participants responded to measures assessing affect, coping resources, and behavior, which were predicted to be bidirectionally associated with information avoidance, building on existing models of information avoidance. Within- and between-person associations were assessed via multilevel models controlling for sociodemographic factors. The average participant avoided information on 30.49% of days, with more within-person than between-person variability. Participants were more likely to avoid information on days on which they reported greater negative affect and believed they had less self-efficacy in the avoided domain (e.g., participants avoided health information when lacking health self-efficacy). Information avoidance was not significantly associated with next-day affect, coping resources, or behavior, perhaps due to the design of the present study. Although null findings are inconsistent with the notion that information avoidance is maladaptive (at least in the short term), future research may explicate the consequences of information avoidance.

In Experiment 1, we assessed the content of music-induced mental imagery. In Experiment 2, we examined participants' food choices while they were listening to nature- or urban-related music. In Experiment 3, we directly manipulated music-induced mental imagery by guiding participants toward nature- or urban-related imagery during the food choice task. The results revealed that participants who believed the music was performed by humans chose vegetable-forward meals more frequently when their music-induced imagery was nature-related rather than urban-related. However, this effect was less pronounced when they believed the music was performed by robots, presumably due to the reduced accuracy of their mental imagery.

The current study examined whether the receptivity of inactive older adults influences compliance with mHealth walking suggestions after inactivity, and explored their experiences with it. Thirty healthy older adults (mean age 73.9 years) participated in the study and answered event-based EMA questionnaires via HealthReact after each 30-minute inactivity period.

Walking suggestions followed each EMA, and semi-structured interviews were conducted post-study. Multilevel logistic regressions in R were applied, and qualitative data were thematically analyzed using NVivo. Results show that higher intention, self-efficacy, and environmental permissiveness positively correlated with compliance, while higher perceived walking negatively correlated. Participants generally found the suggestions motivating and well-timed, but some reported increased alertness and pressure. Consequently, tailoring interventions to individual needs and targeting receptive moments can enhance compliance and promote healthier aging through increased PA.
