The effects of social-cognitive variables on preventive nutrition and behavioral intentions were studied in 580 adults at 2 points time. authors hypothesized that optimistic self-beliefs operate phases made a distinction between action self-efficacy (preintention) coping (postintention). Risk perceptions, outcome expectancies, specified as predictors the intention Wave 1. Behavioral served mediators linking 3 with low-fat high-fiber dietary intake 6 months later 2. Covariance structure...
The question of which factors drive human eating and nutrition is a key issue in many branches science. We describe the creation, evaluation, updating an interdisciplinary, interactive, evolving "framework 2.0" Determinants Of Nutrition Eating (DONE). DONE framework was created by interdisciplinary workgroup multiphase, multimethod process. Modifiability, relationship strength, population-level effect determinants were rated to identify areas priority for research interventions. External...
Background Nutrition apps are effective in changing eating behavior and diet-related health risk factors. However, while they may curb growing overweight obesity rates, widespread adoption is yet to be achieved. Hence, profound knowledge regarding factors motivating hindering (long-term) nutrition app use crucial for developing design guidelines aimed at supporting uptake prolonged of apps. Objective In this systematic review, we synthesized the literature on barriers facilitators across...
Curiosity refers to the desire for acquiring new information. The aim of this study was develop a questionnaire assess social curiosity, that is, interest in how other people think, feel, and behave. administered 312 participants. Factor analyses 10-item Social Scale (SCS) yielded 2 factors: General Covert Curiosity. Evidence convergent validity provided by moderately high correlations SCS with measures curiosity self-perceived whereas discriminant demonstrated low personality traits, such...
The establishment of the Determinants Diet and Physical Activity (DEDIPAC) Knowledge Hub, 2013-2016, was first action taken by 'Healthy for a Healthy Life' European Joint Programming Initiative. DEDIPAC aimed to provide better insight into determinants diet, physical activity sedentary behaviour across life course, i.e. causes important, non-communicable diseases Europe beyond. launched in late 2013, delivered its final report 2016. In this paper we give an overview what achieved terms...
In the processes of physical activity (PA) maintenance specific predictors are effective, which differ from other stages PA development. Recently, Physical Activity Maintenance Theory (PAMT) was specifically developed for prediction maintenance. The aim present study to evaluate predictability future behavior by PAMT and compare it with Planned Behavior (TPB) Social Cognitive (SCT). Participation rate in a fitness center observed 101 college students (53 female) aged between 19 32 years (M =...
Abstract Across the world, there has been a movement from traditional to modern eating, including of eating patterns their origin culture new cultures, and emergence foods behaviors. This trend toward is particular significance because related positive health outcomes sustainability. Yet, no consensus on what constitutes eating. The present study provides comprehensive compilation various facets that seem make up Specifically, 106 were mentioned in previous literature expert discussions,...
Background: Dietary behavior encompasses many aspects, terms for which are used inconsistently across different disciplines and research traditions. This hampers communication comparison impedes the development of a cumulative science. We describe conceptual analysis fuzzy umbrella concept "dietary behavior" present an interdisciplinary taxonomy dietary behavior. Methods: A four-phase multi-method approach was employed. Input provided by 76 scholars involved in international project focusing...
Although mobile technologies such as smartphone apps are promising means for motivating people to adopt a healthier lifestyle (mHealth apps), previous studies have shown low adoption and continued use rates. Developing the address this issue requires further understanding of mHealth app nonusers processes. This study utilized stage model approach based on Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM), which proposes that pass through qualitatively different motivational stages when adopting...
Abstract Manually coding behaviours from videos is essential to study animal behaviour but it labour‐intensive and susceptible inter‐rater bias reliability issues. Recent developments of computer vision tools enable the automatic quantification behaviours, supplementing or even replacing manual annotation. However, widespread adoption these methods still limited, due lack annotated training datasets domain‐specific knowledge required optimize models for research. Here, we present...
Social cognition models of health behavior are commonly understood as being universal, which implies that they applicable to groups varying in age or cultural background, for example.Cultural uniqueness and characteristics life-span development, however, necessitate the study differential effects.Accordingly, action process approach (HAPA) was examined younger middle-aged/ older adults from South Korea (N ϭ 697) who participated a longitudinal screening with 6-month time lag.The HAPA model...
Gender differences in lifestyle-related mortality and morbidity suggest a need to investigate gender-specificity of health behaviour change process factors influencing it. We tested whether changes self-efficacy beliefs planning, as well the level social support predict exercise. Finnish men women, aged 50-65 years, at an increased risk for type 2 diabetes were recruited from care centres participate Good Ageing Lahti Region (GOAL) Lifestyle Implementation Trial. Psychosocial measured with...
Although health cognitions are regarded as key determinants for behavior change, they rarely studied from a dynamic perspective, evaluating the impact of changes in on behavior. In present study, we examine how phase-specific and generic influence first, adoption exercise later, maintenance newly acquired behavior.Participants were middle-aged, Finnish adults participating lifestyle intervention to prevent Type 2 diabetes (N = 389). Health measured at baseline (preintervention) twice after...
The present study used event-related brain potentials to examine the hypothesis that emotional gestures draw attentional resources at level of distinct processing stages. Twenty healthy volunteers viewed pictures hand with negative (insult) and positive (approval) meaning as well neutral control (pointing) while dense sensor (ERPs) were recorded. Emotion effects reflected in ERP modulations early later time windows. Insult elicited increased P1, posterior negativity (EPN) late potential...
Dietary planning is supposed to mediate between intentions and dietary behaviors. However, if a person lacks self‐efficacy, this mediation might fail. A cross‐sectional study in Costa Rica longitudinal South Korea were designed examine the moderating role of self‐efficacy intention–planning–behavior relationship. Intentions, planning, behaviors, baseline diet assessed. Study 1 included 245 women; 2 358 women. Moderated models specified which served as mediator behavior. Self‐efficacy was...
Research suggests that "healthy" food choices such as eating fruits and vegetables have not only physical but also mental health benefits might be a long-term investment in future well-being. This view contrasts with the belief high-caloric foods taste better, make us happy, alleviate negative mood. To provide more comprehensive assessment of choice well-being, we investigated in-the-moment happiness by assessing complete, real life dietary behaviour across eight days using smartphone-based...
Previous research suggests that approximately 40% to 50% of the population increase food consumption under stressful conditions. The prevailing view is eating in response stress a type maladaptive self-regulation. Past has concentrated mainly on negative effects social eating. We propose positive experiences may also modulate behavior. In present study, participants were assigned social-exclusion, neutral, and social-inclusion subsequent bogus taste test, amount ice cream eaten habitual...
To address major societal challenges and enhance cooperation in research across Europe, the European Commission has initiated facilitated 'joint programming'. Joint programming is a process by which Member States engage defining, developing implementing common strategic agenda, based on shared vision of how to that no State capable resolving independently. Setting up Programming Initiative (JPI) should also contribute avoiding unnecessary overlap repetition research, enable development use...
