“…When threat appraisal perceptions increase (and self-efficacy is adequate), people are more likely to adopt adaptive health protection behaviors (Witte and Allen 2000). Given that self-efficacy perceptions related to nutrition are at moderate levels (e.g., Bartfield et al 2010), the use of a fear cue should lead to positive and adaptive healthy behavior. Thus, threat appraisal perceptions (through fear) should cause consumers to muster more willpower to resist the natural impulsive urge to overconsume (underconsume) unhealthy (healthy) food.…”

The authors integrate research on impulsivity from the psychology area with standard economic theories of consumer demand to make novel predictions about the effects of market price changes on consumers’ food consumption behavior. The results from multiple studies confirm that consumers exhibit undesirable asymmetric patterns of demand sensitivity to price changes for healthy and unhealthy food. For healthy food, demand sensitivity is greater for a price increase than for a price decrease. For unhealthy food, the opposite holds true. The research further shows that the undesirable patterns are attenuated or magnified for key policy-relevant factors that have been shown to decrease or increase impulsive purchase behavior, respectively. As the rising obesity trend brings American consumers’ food consumption behavior under increased scrutiny, the focal findings hold significant implications for both public policy makers and food marketers.

“…With frequent practice, self-efficacy relating to healthy behaviour goals, such as meal preparation in the home environment, can be increased [25]. High self-efficacy has been shown in adult populations to increase diet quality [26]. The limited existing literature also suggests an association between FI and self-efficacy [27].…”

Canadian Children from Food Insecure Households Experience Low Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy for Healthy Lifestyle Choices

et al. 2019

The objectives of this cross-sectional study were to: (i) determine whether there are differences in self-esteem and self-efficacy for healthy lifestyle choices between children living in food secure and food insecure households; and (ii) determine whether the association between household food insecurity (HFI), self-esteem and self-efficacy differs by gender. Survey responses of 5281 fifth-grade students (10 and 11 years of age) participating in the Canadian Children’s Lifestyle and School Performance Study II were analyzed using logistic and linear regression. HFI status was determined by the six-item short-form Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM). Students from food insecure households had significantly higher odds of low self-esteem, and significantly lower scores for global self-efficacy to make healthy choices, compared to students from food secure households. These associations were stronger for girls than for boys and appeared independent of parental educational attainment. Household income appeared to be the essential underlying determinant of the associations of food insecurity with self-esteem and self-efficacy. Upstream social policies such as improving the household income of low-income residents will reduce food insecurity and potentially improve self-esteem and self-efficacy for healthy choices among children. This may improve health and learning, and in the long term, job opportunities and household earnings.

“…Embora essa diferença encontrada não seja significativa, espera-se que indivíduos que apresentem eutrofia consigam ser mais confiantes em manter uma dieta com reduzida quantidade de gordura. Acrescenta-se, aos resultados encontrados, o estudo de Bartfield et al (2010), que comparou a autoeficácia para dietas com reduzida quantidade de gordura, carboidratos e calorias entre pacientes da atenção primária de um Hospital Escola de Boston. O referido autor encontrou associação entre IMC e gênero feminino para uma alta autoeficácia em seguir qualquer uma das dietas propostas, e destacou que, entre os indivíduos que pretendiam perder peso, a autoeficácia foi maior para dietas com reduzida quantidade de gordura, em comparação às outras dietas.…”

Autoeficácia para redução de gordura nas dietas e estágios de mudança de comportamento para perda de peso entre funcionários de escolas viçosenses Self-efficacy for fat reduction in diets and stages of change in behavior for weight loss among school employees in Viçosa, Brazil ABSTRACT ANDAKI A. C. R.; VIEIRA D. M.; OLIVEIRA M. C. F. Self-efficacy for fat reduction in diets and stages of change in behavior for weight loss among school employees in Viçosa, Brazil. Nutrire: rev. Soc. Bras. Alim. Nutr. = J. Brazilian Soc. Food Nutr., São Paulo, SP, v. 38, n. 2, p. 134-143, ago. 2013 In this study, we aimed to evaluate self-efficacy in a diet with reduced fat and identify stages of change in behavior for weight loss in employees of two schools in the municipality of Viçosa, Minas Gerais state. It is a crosssectional study with a sample of 21 subjects, 95% females. Weight and height were self-reported and nutritional status was obtained by the body mass index (BMI). We applied a questionnaire containing Likert Scale from 0 to 100 points to measure self-efficacy in following a diet with reduced fat. We calculated the average value of each individual: the score 0 classifies the individual as "not confident", 50 as "moderately confident", and 100 as "very confident". Algorithm was also used to identify the stages of change in behavior. Body weight was 60.75±12.73kg. Overweight and obesity accounted for 21.1% and 15.7% of the subjects analyzed, respectively. We verified that 50% of individuals did not maintain their desired weight for more than six months and that 50% actively attempted to lose weight in the last month; of these, 40% were aimed at weight loss in the following six months. Regarding stage changes, 50% of subjects were in the pre-contemplation stage; 30%, 5%, and 15% were in the preparation, action, and maintenance stages, respectively. Results showed that the individuals studied were moderately confident in following a diet with reduced fat, mean score of 40.68±21.96, and that most of them were in their pre-action stages. It is suggested that interventions be accomplished with school officials, among individuals who are in the stages of preparation and maintenance, to promote body weight reduction besides encouraging self-efficacy among the less confident. .
