“…Studies of time discounting were also divided between stated and revealed preference studies, with the stated preference studies including tasks such as hypothetical choice between sooner-smaller and later-larger rewards (Hoefling & Strack, 2010; Li, 2008; Rasmussen, Lawyer, & Reilly, 2010; Wang & Dvorak, 2010), and the revealed preference studies included incentive compatible choice between sooner-smaller and later-larger rewards (Forzano & Chelonis, 2010; Kirk & Logue, 1997; Kuhn et al, 2014; Logue & King, 1991).…”

“…Third, some studies investigate whether people are more impatient—preferring a smaller reward sooner over a larger reward later—as a function of glucose. As in the prior two cases, tools used to investigate impatience—or an individual’s discount rate—rely on either explicit choices, such as subjects choosing between two hypothetical rewards (Wang & Dvorak, 2010) or more indirect methods relying on revealed preferences (Forzano & Chelonis, 2010; Kirk & Logue, 1997; Kuhn, Kuhn, & Villeval, 2014; Logue & King, 1991; Reuben, Sapienza, & Zingales, 2010). Fourth and finally, work on “decision style” investigates whether people are more “intuitive” as opposed to “deliberate” in their decision making when glucose levels are low.…”

The academic and public interest in blood glucose and its relationship to decision making has been increasing over the last decade. To investigate and evaluate competing theories about this relationship, we conducted a psychometric meta-analysis on the effect of blood glucose on decision making. We identified 42 studies relating to 4 dimensions of decision making: willingness to pay, willingness to work, time discounting, and decision style. We did not find a uniform influence of blood glucose on decision making. Instead, we found that low levels of blood glucose increase the willingness to pay and willingness to work when a situation is food related, but decrease willingness to pay and work in all other situations. Low levels of blood glucose increase the future discount rate for food; that is, decision makers become more impatient, and to a lesser extent increase the future discount rate for money. Low levels of blood glucose also increase the tendency to make more intuitive rather than deliberate decisions. However, this effect was only observed in situations unrelated to food. We conclude that blood glucose has domain-specific effects, influencing decision making differently depending on the relevance of the situation to acquiring food. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…Self‐control can also be depleted by the very act of making a decision, leaving cognitive resources subsequently unavailable to make thoughtful choices (17). Notably, the presence of food cues can deplete self‐control in both dieting and non‐dieting individuals, causing them to eat larger quantities of food (20–22).…”

Contextual influences on eating behaviours: heuristic processing and dietary choices

This paper reviews some of the evidence that dietary behaviors are, in large part, the consequence of automatic responses to contextual food cues, many of which lead to increased caloric consumption and poor dietary choices. We describe studies that illustrate how these automatic mechanisms underlie eating behaviors, as well as evidence that individuals are subject to inherent cognitive limitations, and mostly lack the capacity to consistently recognize, ignore or resist contextual cues that encourage eating. Restaurants and grocery stores are the primary settings from which people obtain food. These settings are often designed to maximize sales of food by strategically placing and promoting items to encourage impulse purchases. Although a great deal of marketing research is proprietary, this paper describes some of the published studies that indicate that changes in superficial characteristics of food products, including packaging and portion sizes, design, salience, health claims, and labeling strongly influence food choices and consumption in ways for which people generally lack insight. We discuss whether contextual influences might be considered environmental risk factors from which individuals may need the kinds of protections that fall under the mission of public health.

“…In Mischel and Ebbesen's (1970) delay-of-gratification experiment, voluntary waiting time in children between the ages of 3.5 and 5.7 years was substantially increased when rewards were absent versus visible. In addition, Forzano and Corry (1998) and Forzano et al (2010) showed that exposure to visual food cues influenced many adult women's impulsivity.…”
