“…By applying at the societal level the neat parsimonious model of culture, cognition, and action outlined above, sociologists have contributed to debates about whether values or more fleeting attitudes primarily drive behavior by demonstrating that deeply ingrained values drive behavior through automatic cognition and that deliberative cognitive processes do not confound this causal link (Miles 2015; Vaisey 2009; Vaisey and Lizardo 2010). 7 Further, by generating and analyzing focus group data, sociologists have illustrated that societal membership accounts for intuitive associations within a population (McDonnell 2014) and that, even when there is considerable variation in regard to the sample of research participants' intuitive associations and behaviors, class, gender, and race enable sociologists to maintain the parsimony of the dual process models of cognition within but not between social groups within a population (Cerulo 2018; Schaap, van der Waal, and de Koster 2019). For example, food ideals and practices vary based on class status and maintain symbolic boundaries through implicitly held associations about (un)healthy foods that are not evenly distributed across social hierarchies (Johnston, Rodney, and Szabo 2012:1094; Schaap, van der Waal, and de Koster 2019).…”
