Framing Effects03:26

Framing Effects

8.1K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

Convenience Sampling Method00:55

Convenience Sampling Method

12.1K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population.
Convenience sampling is a non-random method of sample selection; this method selects individuals that are easily accessible and may result in biased data. For example, a marketing...

Self-Schemas

36.5K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Routes of Persuasion02:20

Routes of Persuasion

69.1K
Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Dietary Connections01:23

Dietary Connections

65.0K
In biological systems, most metabolic pathways are interconnected. The cellular respiration processes that convert glucose to ATP—such as glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle—tie into those that break down other organic compounds. As a result, various foods—from apples to cheese to guacamole—end up as ATP. In addition to carbohydrates, food also contains proteins and lipids—such as cholesterol and fats. All of these organic compounds are used...

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

8.6K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Area of Science:

  • Food studies
  • Sociology of consumption
  • Public health nutrition

Background:

  • The term 'convenience food' is contested, with significant market growth, especially for ready-meals in the UK.
  • Consumption patterns are influenced by changing domestic labor, family structures, and societal moralization of food choices.
  • Debates surrounding convenience food are rooted in a historical discourse on food, health, and nutrition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review recent research on convenience food consumption.
  • To explore the public health and environmental sustainability implications of convenience food.
  • To analyze the definitional complexities and market dynamics of convenience foods, particularly ready-meals.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review.
  • Analysis of market structures and growth trends.
  • Examination of social and cultural dimensions of food consumption.

Main Results:

  • Convenience food plays a significant role in time-saving and time-shifting behaviors.
  • Consumption is linked to evolving domestic labor and family life dynamics.
  • The consumption of convenience food is often subject to moral judgments and societal discourse.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding convenience food consumption requires recognizing its embeddedness in everyday social practices.
  • Habitual and routine aspects of convenience food consumption are central to its role in contemporary society.
  • Further research should consider the interplay between convenience food, environmental sustainability, and food waste.
