Excessive sugar intake represents an increased risk of developing non-communicable diseases (e.g., obesity, cardiometabolic diseases, and dental diseases). Still, it is unclear whether people are aware these adverse health outcomes. The current study systematically examined the extent to which associate conditions with excessive intake. Participants (
The Karolinska Directed Emotional Faces (KDEF) is one of the most widely used human facial expressions database. Almost a decade after original validation study (Goeleven et al., 2008), we present subjective rating norms for sub-set 210 pictures which depict 70 models (half female) each displaying an angry, happy and neutral expressions. Our main goals were to provide additional updated this database, using sample from different nationality (N = 155 Portuguese students, M 23.73 years old, SD...
There has been increasing interest in the study of human-animal relations. This contrasts with lack normative resources and materials for research purposes. We present subjective norms a set 120 open-source colour images animals spanning total 12 biological categories (e.g., mammals, insects, reptiles, arachnids). Participants (N = 509, 55.2% female, MAge 28.05, SD 9.84) were asked to evaluate randomly selected sub-set on valence, arousal, familiarity, cuteness, dangerousness, edibility,...
Time pressure (TP) constrains consumers' decisions: stores have fixed opening hours, promotions deadlines, and a house for rent may not be available tomorrow. Evidence about the impact of TP on decision-making suggests that when facing complex decisions, consumers do process all information, ground decisions upon restricted set attributes, are less likely to defer choices, but still accomplish utility choices. However, these effects been typically observed in experimental paradigms...
Very few studies have examined if emoji play a role in first-time interactions and whether their use conveys information about relationship initiation intentions. In two experimental (N = 758), we explored using different to initiate with strangers on Facebook Tinder were perceived signal distinct intentions from the sender (Studies 1 2) which (if any) would be used convey when sending message stranger (Study 2). Results Study showed that participants messages (or without emoji) friendship...
Computer-mediated communication allows people to communicate across several contexts (e.g., friends, professional settings) by using video-based or text-based channels. In the latter case, lacks nonverbal cues tone of voice) that are critical message interpretation. Including emoji can help express emotion and reinforce clarify meaning a message. However, benefits likely depend on context relationship between interlocutors) messages' features valence message). To date, studies have not...
In this work, we examined knowledge about sugars and guidelines for its consumption explored the relationship between measures related to nutritional information processing as well sugar consumption. Specifically, asked participants (n = 1010 Portuguese) categorize a set of ingredients (e.g., glucose, aspartame) regarding their composition (i.e., intrinsic vs. added/free sugars) origin natural artificial) if they were aware WHO intake. Overall, despite using frequently considering attending...
Research has shown that emoji can determine how interlocutors who use are perceived (e.g., warmer) and help complement written communication clarify the meaning of a message). We argue reciprocal may be particularly beneficial for user perceptions outcomes. In two experiments ( N = 568), we examined if using emoji, reciprocating use, in work context (i.e., message between colleagues) influenced inferences about outcomes (Study 1), such effects differed according to level conflict 2). Study 1...
