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...
Why do we eat? Our motives for eating are diverse, ranging from hunger and liking to social norms affect regulation. Although can vary event event, which implies substantial moment-to-moment differences, current ways of measuring rely on single timepoint questionnaires that assess as situation-stable dispositions (traits). However, mobile technologies including smartphones allow events be captured in real time life, thus capturing experienced in-the-moment (states).This study aimed examine...
Background Establishing a methodology for assessing nutritional behavior comprehensively and accurately poses great challenge. Mobile technologies such as mobile image-based food recording apps enable eating events to be assessed in the moment real time, thereby reducing memory biases inherent retrospective records. However, users might find it challenging take images of they consume at every event over an extended period, which lead incomplete records (missing events). Objective Analyzing...
Abstract Background The outbreak and global spread of COVID-19 was accompanied by an increase in reports stigmatization Chinese Asian-looking people. behavioral immune system provides a framework for response to infectious disease threats. Specifically, might with rising levels threat. present study aimed examine this hypothesis during the early phase pandemic. Methods As part “EUCLID” project ( https://euclid.dbvis.de ), total 5011 persons from Germany were surveyed via online-questionnaire...
We present SMARTEXPLORE, a novel visual analytics technique that simplifies the identification and understanding of clusters, correlations, complex patterns in high-dimensional data. The analysis is integrated into an interactive table-based visualization maintains consistent familiar representation throughout analysis. tightly coupled with pattern matching, subspace analysis, reordering, layout algorithms. To increase analyst's trust revealed patterns, SMARTEXPLORE automatically selects...
Forecasting how we will react in the future is important every area of our lives. However, people often demonstrate an 'impact bias' which leads them to inaccurately forecast their affective reactions distinct and outstanding events. The present study examined forecasting accuracy for a day-to-day repetitive experience have wealth past experiences (eating happiness), along with dispositional expectations towards eating ('foodiness'). Seventy-three participants (67.12% women, Mage = 41.85...
Although most people are aware of the health benefits consuming sufficient amounts fruit and vegetables, many do not adhere to current dietary recommendations. Recent studies have suggested meal colour variety as an intuitive cue for healthy enjoyable lunch choices. The present study extends this research by testing “colourful = healthy” association across types. Using smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Assessment, 110 participants recorded 2818 eating occasions over a period eight days....
To contain the spread of Covid-19, engagement in protective behaviors across population is great importance. The present study investigated behavior intentions during early phases Covid-19 Germany (February 2–April 3, 2020) as a function threat level and age using data from 4,940 participants EUCLID project. Results indicated that intention to engage social distancing increased sharply with level. Intentions for personal hygiene also increased, although lesser extent. While only had small...
Sugar overconsumption is a major contributor to overweight and obesity, with daily consumption greatly exceeding the WHO's recommendations. The aim of present study was determine whether using functionally modified sugar shaker as food environment nudge could be an effective means reduce used in hot beverages.Sugar shakers were amount each pour by 47%. A real-world experiment conducted compare added per beverage during default conditions over course four weeks (17,233 beverages sold)...
In times of unprecedented infectious disease threats, it is essential to understand how increase individual protective behaviors and support for collective measures. The present study therefore examines factors associated with pathways.Data was collected through an online survey from 4483 participants (70.8% female, M = 41.2 years) across 10 countries April 15, 2020 June 2, as part the "EUCLID" project (https://euclid.dbvis.de). Structural equation modeling used examine pathways within...
Research shows that retrospective memory is often more extreme than in-the-moment experiences. While investigations into this phenomenon have mostly focused on distinct, one-time experiences, we examined it with respect to recurring day-to-day experiences in the eating domain, focusing variables of snapshot model—i.e., most intense and final experience. We used a smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Assessment assess food intake happiness 103 participants (82.52% female, M age = 21.97...
