- Cultural differences - AO2
- Claimed food

- Questions such as beliefs about health and diet,

- In all areas,
except beliefs
about diet, there
were cultural
differences
- In all countries, females, showed a pattern
of attitudes more like the Americans and less
like the French
- Conclusion: these
differences may influence
health and account for
national differences in
cardiovascular disease

of attitudes more like the Americans and less

- Those watching the sad film consumed 36%
more popcorn than the upbeat film, but they

- The researchers claimed that
people who feel sad want to
'jolt' themselves out of the
blues, causing them to go to a
snack that causes them a
sudden rush of euphoria
