Question | Answer |
Bandura's Social Learning Theory | observing modelled behaviour from other people (models) |
Brown et al. | found a consistent correlation between eating habits of parents and their children around snack food intake. |
Social Learning occurring through the Media | books and TV highlighting different attitudes which people observe and learn from (celebrities) |
Macintyre et al. | found the media did influence peoples food preference - this may be then limited by an individuals personal circumstances (income, family, culture, age) |
Cultural Factors Khan et al. | found white women were more prone to have body dissatisfaction and disorders such as bulimia than Asian or Black women |
Cultural Factors Kennedy et al. | studied over 14,000 women aged between 18-23and found the longer the women were in Australia, regardless of ethnicity, they reported attitudes and eating behaviour similar to women born in Australia - ACCULTURATION EFFECT |
Social Class Dornbusch et al. | surveyed higher-class females and found they wanted to be thinner more than those of lower social classes |
Social Class Goode et al. | found higher-class females were more likely to achieve this and a positive correlation was found between income and healthy eating |
Mood Davis et al. | found some individuals with Bulimia were associated with negative feelings of anxiety prior to binge eating |
Mood Wegner et al. | recorded students' eating patterns and mood over a 2 week period. the days they were found to binge saw them report more negative feelings compared to non-binge days. students did not report feeling better after the binge |
Garg et al. | confirms a link between negative feelings and unhealthy eating. |
Garg et al. experiment | participants watched either a happy film or a sad film. both groups were given the choice of buttered popcorn (unhealthy) or grapes (healthy). those watching the sad film consumed 36% more popcorn. |
Garg's explanation | those who felt sad would seek unhealthy foods to make themselves feel better while those already in a positive mood may turn to healthier foods to extend their positive feelings. |
Garg's other version of the experiment | participants were given the nutritional information prior to consumption the unhealthy food consumption dropped dramatically suggesting nutritional info may affect attitude to food and eating behaviour |
Kowledge of healthy foods | higher level education is linked with an increased awareness into healthy based eating habits and this may also explain peoples' attitudes towards food. however food availability, price and income likely affect whether this knowledge is acted on |
