“…However, the findings for personal values seem to be the first direct connections to food habits established empirically. Other studies have linked food-related behavior to cultural differences, but have not provided a more specific reason for these differences (Grivetti and Paquette, 1978;Day, Lentner, and Jaquez, 1978). This study suggests differing and/or changing values may account for some of the variance in behavior observed to occur between persons in different cultures.…”

This study investigated the existence of a relationship between personal values and consumer food habits, and compared the explanatory power of values with that of life‐style measures and demographics. Personal values were measured in terms of the importance of 20 items selected from England's Personal Values Questionnaire. Life‐ style items reflected frequency of participation in 20 leisure time activities, and demo graphics comprised 22 measures of socioeconomic characteristics and media preferences. Usage rates for 13 popular beverages were used to represent food habits. Respondents were clustered into four relatively homogeneous usage groups. Then, both univariate ANOVA and multivariate discriminant analysis were employed to test for the hypoth esized relationships between the consumers' food habits and values, life‐style, and demographics. The univariate tests indicated the three sets of variables have fairly equivalent explanatory power. However, the multivariate results showed values and demographic variables to surpass the life‐style variables with respect to the statistical significance and interpretability of the discriminant functions that were derived. While the explanatory power of values was thereby supported, ideally a combination of types of variables should be used to best explain food habits.
