  • you eat what you are modern health worries and the acceptance of natural and synthetic additives in functional foods
    2007
    Co-Authors: Daniel A Devcich, Irene K Pedersen, Keith J Petrie
    Abstract:

    There is an increasing array of functional foods available that are designed to confer health benefits. However, individuals' worries about new technology and modernity may influence the acceptance of these products. In this study, we investigated how modern health worries influence attitudes and decisions about functional foods. We asked participants (n=390) to rate pictures of products with either added vitamins or added scientific compounds. Each product shown purported to have one of three possible targeted effects: to reduce the likelihood of a disease, to reduce a risk Factor associated with a disease, or to improve personal appearance. We found levels of modern health worries to be significantly associated with participants' reports of organic food consumption and presence of food allergies. Modern health worries were also significantly related to a preference for foods with natural as opposed to synthetic additives. Participants with higher levels of modern health worries had a greater acceptance of functional foods designed to reduce the likelihood of disease compared to participants with low modern health worries. Overall, the results suggested that modern health worries are an important Psychological Factor to consider with regards to attitudes toward functional foods.

  • is there an all embracing construct of emotion reactivity adaptation and validation of the emotion reactivity scale among a french speaking community sample
    2014
    Co-Authors: Severine Lannoy, Martial Van Der Linden, Alexandre Heeren, Lucien Rochat, Mandy Rossignol, Joel Billieux
    Abstract:

    Background: Emotion reactivity is defined as the extent to which an individual experiences emotions in response to a wide array of stimuli, intensely, and for a prolonged period. This construct is a key Psychological Factor in the development and maintenance of psychopathological disorders. The aim of the current study was to develop and validate a French version of the Emotion Reactivity Scale (ERS), which gauges three aspects of emotion reactivity: (1) emotional sensitivity, (2) emotional intensity, and (3) emotional persistence. Method: The French ERS and both concurrent and divergent validated scales were administered to 258 participants from the community. Results: Confirmatory Factor analyses revealed good fit indices for: (1) a single-Factor model, (2) a three-Factor model, and (3) a hierarchical three-Factor solution with a single-Factor solution as a second-order latent variable for a generic construct of emotion reactivity. The French version of the Emotion Reactivity Scale also exhibits acceptable internal scale score reliability (total scale and subscales). Eventually, meaningful relationships were found between Factors of emotion reactivity and depression, distinct aspects of impulsive behaviors, and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies. Conclusion: Findings of the confirmatory Factor analyses are consistent with previous studies suggesting that the ERS is mainly captured by a single major construct of emotion reactivity.

  • Cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression emotion regulation strategies in cigarette smokers.
    2010
    Co-Authors: Lisa M. Fucito, Laura M. Juliano, Benjamin A. Toll
    Abstract:

    Introduction: Negative affect is an important Psychological Factor in the promotion and maintenance of cigarette smoking, though the underlying Factors that account for this relationship remain to be determined. One possible mechanism may be smokers’ emotion regulation strategies. Preliminary research among adolescents and young adults suggests that greater utilization of expressive suppression versus cognitive reappraisal is associated with higher rates of smoking initiation. There is limited research, however, on the role of emotion regulation strategies in smoking maintenance in adult smokers.
