Summary: Consumers' decision-making in sustainable food shopping is influenced by external factors, and the change mechanisms of interventions are not well understood. Quality, health, locally produced food, animal welfare, and convenience are key factors motivating consumers to make sustainable choices, while price and time are the main constraints. Information can be a powerful tool for behavior change if tailored to the customer's full shopping journey, including planning, executing, and reflecting.

Summary: This study found that interoceptive accuracy (IAcc) affects regret ratings after moral decision-making. Moreover, individuals with higher IAcc tend to make deontological choices more rapidly in self-related moral dilemmas. This suggests that IAcc may influence emotional experiences and conflicts in moral decision-making.

Summary: This paper reviews the evidence for both positive and negative social support in the context of behavioral interventions and surgery for obesity and proposes a new model of negative social support. The negative social support model focuses on sabotage, feeding behavior, and collusion, which can be conceptualized within the context of relationships as systems and homeostasis mechanisms. There is increasing evidence for the negative impact of social support, and this model could form the basis of further research and interventions to maximize weight loss outcomes for family, friends, and partners.

Summary: This research shows that symptoms are influenced by various psychological factors. However, the broader context of bodily states, including emotions, sensations, and pre-symptoms, is not well understood. Additionally, little is known about how bodily states are experienced and translated into symptoms. Through semi-structured interviews with 12 participants, this study explores how individuals experience, describe, and understand their bodily states, as well as how these states transition into symptoms. The findings reveal four main themes: the subjective experience of bodily states, attention to bodily states, the process of becoming symptoms, and the communication of symptoms. A transcending theme, a series of thresholds, demonstrates how bodily states surpass a threshold to become a symptom and how individual differences play a role in this transition.

Summary: Overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be related to how persons with SCI experience satiation, their eating frequency, and the context in which they eat their meals. Those with SCI rely less on physiological satiation cues for meal termination and instead rely more on hedonic cues. There are differences in meal contexts and eating frequency between SCI individuals and controls, with SCI individuals consuming fewer meals but having a higher overall eating frequency due to increased snacking. These factors likely contribute to overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after SCI.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and cognition during adolescence, and the intake of fat and sugar two years later. The study found that higher impulsivity and reward-seeking behaviors were related to greater fat and sugar intake in males, while higher negative urgency and BMI were related to greater intake in both sexes. These findings suggest that individuals with certain traits may be more at risk for weight gain due to overconsumption of unhealthy foods.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in changes in food accessibility and availability, leading to shifts in food habits and behaviors among people worldwide. A study conducted in Australia examined the self-reported changes in food habits and behaviors of adults during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The majority of respondents reported developing positive food habits, such as trying new recipes, cooking from scratch, and reducing take-away meals. The study also found that family involvement in food preparation and eating together increased during the restrictions. However, there were negative experiences, including difficulties in purchasing certain foods and limited access to food outlets.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sensory reactivity and feeding problems in young children. The results showed that taste/smell sensitivity was significantly associated with difficulties in texture transition/introduction, limited variety of foods, and both feeding problems. Additionally, children with total sensory reactivity or auditory filtering sensory reactivity had a higher prevalence of consuming a limited variety of foods. These findings highlight the importance of considering sensory reactivity as a potential predictor of feeding problems.
