“…Nutritional self-efficacy, i.e., the individual accepted the ability in choosing the appropriate food, would lead to selection of healthy food, even in facing obstacles (33). Self-efficacy could also be the mediator for parents' support (34) as well as the peers' and friends' support of healthy nutritional behaviors (35).…”

“…As teenagers grow older, the effect of parents on their nutritional behaviors changes due to the fact that pubescence is a complicated period of life associated with changes in effects of social factors. Parents' support of healthy eating directly and indirectly, via effecting teenagers' perceptions (35), and nutritional self-efficacy (34), leads to choices of healthy foods.…”

A Review on Determinants of Nutritional Behavior in Teenagers

Context: Adolescence is associated with important physical, mental, and social changes leading to rapid changes in behavioral patterns including nutritional behaviors. The nutritional behaviors of individuals as well as changing those behaviors should be recognized to design an effective program. The present study sets to recognize determinants of the adolescents' nutritional behaviors based on the social-ecological model. Evidence Acquisition: In an extensive literature review, all Farsi and English articles adopted quantitative studies, which were either cross-sectional, longitudinal, or clinical trials. Furthermore, all Farsi and English qualitative studies published from 1990 to 2016 were reviewed. For this purpose, Scopus, Medline, Embase, Cochrane central register of controlled trials and Cochrane database systematic review databases, as well as Farsi databases including Iranmedex, SID, and Magiran were searched. Keywords included nutritional behaviors of teenagers (eating breakfast, fruits, and vegetables, fast foods, unhealthy snacks) and determinant factors. After extracting the effective factors, they were categorized into social-ecological mode. Results: Since ecological models are focused on individuals' interactions with cultural, environmental, and social factors, applying them to determine the effective factors, and designing interventions based on these factors could enhance the programs for improvement of teenagers' nutritional behaviors. Conclusions: Changes in intrapersonal and environmental factors could have a more effective role in making changes in teenagers' nutritional behaviors. Since some of these factors become key factors in different social-cultural contexts, nutritional changes in societies have a decisive role in their significance. The significance level of factors and their effect on the target society must be considered for designing more effective interventions.

“…The social and family norms survey questions focused on injunctive perceived norms (beliefs about what friends and family believe) and normative beliefs (beliefs about the extent to which friends and family think the subject should or should not perform a particular behavior). Both peer and family influences have been shown to be important determinants of behaviors such as healthful eating (Ball et al, 2010;Fitzgerald et al, 2013). Although there is strong evidence that peer and family norms may directly influence dietary behaviors, very little research has examined the relationship between peer and family norms and culinary behaviors (Nelson et al, 2013).…”

“…A 2013 study of 483 adolescents aged 13-18 found that self-efficacy for eating and peer support for unhealthy eating are both associated with food intake patterns. For example, higher self-efficacy beliefs were related to healthy food intake, and lower self-efficacy beliefs were related to unhealthy food intake (Fitzgerald et al, 2013).…”

A Multicultural Nutrition and Culinary Intervention for Middle School Students: Pink and Dude Chefs, Phase 2

The prevalence of adolescent obesity in the United States has more than quadrupled in the past 30 years, growing from 5% to nearly 21% in 12-19 year olds. Although obesity has many interrelated causes, a lack of knowledge and practical skill to prepare healthy food from scratch is an important factor. Research indicates that nutrition and culinary interventions based on behavioral change theories may improve mediators of healthful eating in adolescents. Pink and Dude Chefs, Phase 2, an eight-week after-school nutrition and culinary intervention targeted towards middle school students in a predominantly low-income, Hispanic community, was developed and evaluated. The curriculum called "Around the World" was designed to enhance knowledge and cooking skills through a multicultural approach. Participants learned about the food culture and customs of a different country each week and then created a recipe of that country from scratch. Research assistants from California Polytechnic State University implemented the lessons. The program took place at Mesa Middle School in Arroyo Grande, CA over two consecutive academic quarters, Fall 2013 and Winter 2014. Participants were 16 seventhand eighth-grade students aged 12-14. The program consisted of 8 lessons that were divided into a classroom-based learning portion and a kitchen-based cooking portion. A pre-and post-intervention survey was developed to assess change in self-efficacy for cooking, cooking skills, nutrition knowledge, outcome expectancies, and perceived social and family norms. Paired t-tests indicated that participants demonstrated a significant increase in nutrition knowledge (P<0.0001) and cooking skills (P=0.02) after participation in Pink and Dude Chefs, Phase 2. Empowering youth by improving food-related knowledge and skills is an important step toward improving the health of our nation. Further research is needed to examine how nutrition and culinary interventions may impact long-term health promoting behaviors.v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This research investigates the complex relationships between fast-food addiction (FFA) and fast food-anti-consumption (FFAC). Specifically, we propose an intervening process through which FFA turns into FFAC. Using a randomised sample of 437 respondents from Sichuan Province, China, this study tests how concern about obesity and chronic disease arising from FFA can lead to FFAC. Consistent with published research, we find that consumers' situations (availability of fast-foods, attitudes towards food) coupled with food-based advertising practices are positively associated with FFA. Health concerns and food waste (FW) enhance negative feelings and motivate consumers to find ways to overcome FFA. As a result, consumers exhibit FFAC to overcome health concerns and undesirable mental states positively correlated with FFA. Our research offers new insights into the processes that drive FFAC and provides a robust guide for policymakers, applied psychologists, consumers, and food marketers who can use health-related marketing appeals to limit the binge eating of unhealthy foods. | INTRODUCTIONConsumption of fast-food has increased due to its convenience and availability, thus increasing obesity and health concerns (Goyal & Singh, 2007). Studies have found that consuming calorie-rich fatty foods leads to fast-food addiction (FFA) (Farah & Shahzad, 2020;Khalid et al., 2019). Overconsumption and FFA threaten consumer well-being in terms of health and cost (Pentina & Amos, 2011). Thus, marketing literature needs to increase its concern for consumer welfare (Tosun & Yanar Gürce, 2018). To promote consumer well-being, marketing research into food consumption has emphasised the topic of fast-food anti-consumption (FFAC)
