Emotions associated to mealtimes: Memorable meals and typical evening meals

Using Twitter data for food-related consumer research: A case study on “what people say when tweeting about different eating situations”

“…Thus, the opinions of this segment of the general population may be overrepresented in Twitter data. This could likely be a concern in food-related consumer research, where introversion vs. extroversion is known to exert some influence on food preferences and practices, including health status and emotional responding (Elfhag & Morey, 2008;Piqueras-Fiszman & Jaeger, 2014b). However, as noted above, such systematic sample bias may lessen with time as more diverse people become active users.…”

The Incidental Influence of Memories of Past Eating Occasions on Consumers’ Emotional Responses to Food and Food-Related Behaviors

“…In the current study, we extend research on meal/food memorability ( Piqueras-Fiszman and Jaeger, 2015a , b ) by further exploring people’s emotional response to different types of food-related memories (i.e., how certain memories change our emotional state). Focus was directed to the incidental impact of those memories on how people emotionally respond to food-related actions and objects.…”

“…In light of the strong interplay between food enjoyment, emotions, and memories (e.g., Philippot and Schaefer, 2001 ), Piqueras-Fiszman and Jaeger (2015a , b ) investigated the emotions associated to experienced meals recalled as being memorable and the individual differences explaining this relationship. In (online) studies, respondents described either one particular memorable meal or a routine evening meal as if they were telling to a friend and then indicated the strength of association to 40 emotions when thinking about the meal.…”

“…Participants were asked to remember either a positive meal experience, an everyday routine evening meal, or an occasion when they had mindlessly overeaten. The two first memory priming conditions have been shown to induce a general positive emotional state ( Piqueras-Fiszman and Jaeger, 2015a , b ). The third memory priming condition, as mentioned earlier, was deemed relevant for its link to weight-related coping mechanisms.…”

Physico‐chemical and sensory properties of marmalades made from mixtures of fruits and under‐exploited Andean tubers

“…studied commercial dairy beverages with 219 individuals, and chocolate and hazelnut spreads with 238 subjects; Seo et al . analyzed commercial dairy products with 100 panelists; Piqueras‐Fiszman and Jaeger made three emotional studies on meals with between 400 and 500 consumers. But there is no consensus about the correct number of individuals for this type of test.…”
