“…A case can be made that the loud, fast music so often piped-out at restaurants and bars may be exerting a negative effect over consumer perception and behaviour. As such, some have suggested that there may be importantif largely unacknowledgedconsequences of the soundscapes in which we come into contact with food and drink products (all of this, from the shopping until the tasting process; Liu, Meng, & Kang, 2018;Mamalaki, Zachari, Karfopoulou, Zervas, & Yannakoulia, 2017). Here it is worth noting that long-term exposure to transportation noise has been linked to obesity, and that combined exposure to different sources of noise has been shown to be particularly harmful (e.g., see Pyko, Eriksson, Lind, Mitkovskaya, Wallas, Ögren, & Pershagen, 2017).…”

Food product-extrinsic sounds (i.e., those auditory stimuli that are not linked directly to a food or beverage product, or its packaging) have been shown to exert a significant influence over various aspects of food perception and consumer behaviour, often operating outside of conscious awareness. In this review, we summarise the latest evidence concerning the various ways in which what we hear can influence what we taste. According to one line of empirical research, background noise interferes with tasting, due to attentional distraction. A separate body of marketing-relevant research demonstrates that music can be used to bias consumers’ food perception, judgments, and purchasing/consumption behaviour in various ways. Some of these effects appear to be driven by the arousal elicited by loud music as well as the entrainment of people’s behaviour to the musical beat. However, semantic priming effects linked to the type and style of music are also relevant. Another route by which music influences food perception comes from the observation that our liking/preference for the music that we happen to be listening to carries over to influence our hedonic judgments of what we are tasting. A final route by which hearing influences tasting relates to the emerging field of ‘sonic seasoning’. A developing body of research now demonstrates that people often rate tasting experiences differently when listening to soundtracks that have been designed to be (or are chosen because they are) congruent with specific flavour experiences (e.g., when compared to when listening to other soundtracks, or else when tasting in silence). Taken together, such results lead to the growing realization that the crossmodal influences of music and noise on food perception and consumer behaviour may have some important if, as yet, unrecognized implications for public health.

“…Previous studies showed that conscientiousness is associated with a variety of healthy eating behaviors such as fat, sweets, and sugar moderation, regular eating time and avoidance of salty foods and people with high scores of conscientiousness are more talented to follow dietary advice and adoption healthful practices Bae SJ, 2004, Keller Studies in the eld of effective factors on eating speed are rare and restricted to factors such as food service, and music, and there is no study about the predictive role of personality traits. Previous studies revealed music does not in uence eating speed, energy intake, or appetite in volunteers (Péneau, Mekhmoukh, et al 2009, Mamalaki, Zachari, et al 2017). One study showed that the form of food is served has a signi cant effect on the eating speed and energy intake and individuals eat signi cantly faster and more when the meal is served up combination (Sun, Ranawana, et al 2015).…”

The eating speed has been hypothesized to be associated with energy intake and weight control. Recently, the effects of some factors on eating rate were investigated, however; studies about the impacts of psychological factors in this field are rare. One of these possible factors is personality traits. This study aimed to assess the relationship between personality traits and eating speed. This cross-sectional study was performed among 4763 adults in 2011. Personality trait was assessed by using the Big Five Personality Inventory Short Form. The eating speed was evaluated using a pretested questionnaire and latent class analysis (LCA) was applied to categorize participants according to the eating speed. Multiple binary logistic regression analysis was used for data analyses. We found that the higher levels of neuroticism (quartile 4) were associated significantly with lower odds of normal eating speed (OR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.31, 0.60; P<0.001) but higher levels of other personality traits were statistically significantly associated with higher odds of normal eating speed. The current study showed significant associations between personality traits and eating speed; accordingly, it provides primary evidence about the potential value of personality traits for managing the eating rate. Further prospective observational and interventional studies are recommended.
