“…Household nutrition is often compromised when consumers eat more food outside the home and can lead to diminished cooking skills [ 35 ]. Many people may consume greater amounts of convenience foods due to prevalence of fast food restaurants, savory taste profiles, lower cost, and time constraints for food preparation [ 5 ]. While the dietary pattern may not be unique to low SES groups, they have an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and total number of chronic diseases than others with high SES due to added stressors and limited resources [ 1 , 5 ].…”

“…Additionally, employed individuals may feel more secure about the future and have less physical deterioration with age [ 4 ]. However, economic well-being, attaining higher education, and gainful employment can be difficult to obtain for individuals who are living in poverty [ 5 ]. Economic hardships often create stress around basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, and care which can in turn lead to or exacerbate health problems [ 3 ].…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the socio-ecological influences on dry grain pulse consumption (beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas) among low-socioeconomic women in Iowa. Seven focus groups were conducted, with 36 women who qualified for income-based federal assistance. Data were collected from October 2017 to January 2018. Participants completed a survey that gathered individual demographics, assessed perceptions of dry grain pulses, and level of food security. Fifty-eight percent of the women were non-Hispanic white, and 39% were African American, all with an average age of 34.7 years. Thirty-three percent of the women consumed pulses less than once per week. Over 80% agreed that beans were healthful and satiating. Some health benefits of beans were unknown by more than 33% of the population, e.g., lower cancer risk, lower LDL, maintain blood glucose. Only 30% of the women were food secure. Focus group audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed by two researchers, using the grounded theory approach. At the policy level, participants knew pulses were included in USA federal nutrition assistance programs like the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Pulses were widely available in grocery stores in communities. Interpersonally, women felt that male partners preferred meats, and children needed animal-source proteins. Individually, women perceived uncooked dry pulses were challenging to prepare. Conclusively, more detailed instruction on pulse preparation, different pulse varieties, and offering canned pulses through WIC may increase consumption.

“…Various differences between contexts in which organizations are embedded could be relevant to within-organizational dynamics impacting workers from poorer families. For example, Farah and Hook (2017) show that higher levels of trust in the local community buffer against negative consequences of resource scarcity on future-focus and temporal discounting. In a similar vein, a stronger social safety net in a given country might buffer against the negative effect of being born into a poorer family on neuroticism and self-esteem later in life, by reducing environmental uncertainty and the stigma associated with a lack of financial resources.…”

“…Present‐oriented behaviors or myopic decisions may have a positive effect in the short run, but this effect can also be gained by giving up actions that can improve adverse conditions in the long run. As a result, it becomes more difficult to escape a poor situation (Farah & Hook, 2017; Haushofer & Fehr, 2014; Kim & Na, 2018). This study is meaningful in that it warns the risk of economic inequality not just to certain groups of people but to everyone in that society.…”

Economic inequality is worsening worldwide and is associated with various social problems. Although research on inequality has been conducted in various academic fields, research on how perceived inequality affects individual decision making is relatively limited in the marketing field. Recognizing this gap, this study examines how perceived economic inequality can affect individual behavior and decision making from the perspective of time frame. The results of four studies reveal that perceived economic inequality can induce present‐oriented behavior and suggest that perceived economic mobility accounts for this relationship. This study demonstrates that present‐oriented and shortsighted behaviors, which are usually considered characteristics of the poor, can occur due to the perceptions of the environment beyond class. It implies that the macro level of economic inequality can influence an individual's decision making at the micro level.
