Diet and Behavior

Diet and Behavior (Adult Population)

The CNP Diet and Behavior Research Category focuses on a wide range of observable, measurable eating-related actions, including what, when, and how much people eat. It includes dietary habits such as food preparation, purchasing, and consumption patterns; emotional and social influences on food choices; habitual snacking; and eating restriction. These patterns are shaped by psychological factors—including mood, cognition, stress, and emotions—which together exert a reciprocal influence on eating behaviors and play a significant role in shaping overall well-being and mental health outcomes.

The role of psychosocial well-being and emotion-driven impulsiveness in food choices of European adolescents

  • Karim Maghraby, M.B.B.Ch, M.Sc, Director
  • 23 September 2020
  • Reviewed By CNP STAFF

Debate remains on whether interventions focusing on emotion-driven impulsiveness or psychosocial well-being are more effective at reducing unhealthy eating choices. Do et al. (2024) sought to examine the (separate) causal effects of emotion-driven impulsiveness and psychosocial well-being on the inclination for sweet and fat-rich foods in a population of European teenagers. The authors collected self-reported […]
