Weaver, Lesley Jo; Henderson, Nicole; Hadley, Craig – Field Methods, 2021
Food insecurity (FI) is often assessed through experienced-based measures, which address the number and extent of coping strategies people employ. Coping indices are limited because, methodologically, they presuppose that people engage coping strategies uniformly. Ethnographic work suggests that subgroups experience FI quite differently, meaning…

Brune, Sara; Stevenson, Kathryn T.; Knollenberg, Whitney; Barbieri, Carla – Journal of Agricultural Education, 2020
While increasing agricultural literacy (AL) has been the focus of numerous educational programs, few AL scales have been developed specifically for children. AL programming struggles to rigorously evaluate their programs, particularly when little time is available for assessments in informal contexts. The lack of evaluation tools that allow to…

We focused on meat consumers' profiles, their willingness to engage in pro-environmental actions and the allocation of responsibility for environmental issues. Using pretest-posttest-control methodology, a group of future…

Therefore, we examined the relationships between mothers' food-focused media literacy and their discussions about media and their adolescents' food-focused media literacy in a…

Voigt, Katharina; Murawski, Carsten; Bode, Stefan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017

To test this claim, we investigated in three experiments whether choices between equally valued snack food items can systematically shape preferences. We directly…
