“…Explicit attitudes can be formed quickly based on the average of a weighted sample of evaluations of the attributes of the attitude object. Although implicit attitudes can change quickly (Hofmann, De Houwer, Perugini, Baeyens, & Crombez, 2010) at least temporarily, they have been argued to usually develop over a longer period of time (Devine, 1989) from associations within the environment (Karpinski & Hilton, 2001) and early socialization experiences (Baron & Banaji, 2006; Greenwald & Banaji, 1995; Rudman, 2004) based on the sum of an entire set of information capable of evoking any sort of affective reaction (see also Betsch, Kaufmann, Lindow, Plessner, & Hoffmann, 2006; Prestwich, Kenworthy, Wilson, & Kwan‐Tat, 2008). Implicit attitudes towards different foods should thus be sensitive to the whole range of experiences one has with such foods including the food‐related experiences shared with family and friends.…”
