Collection description
The present research is within the field of social and health psychology studies and focused on explaining and promoting healthy eating behaviours within the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB; Ajzen, 1991). Two studies investigated if the TPB, plus self-identity and controlling for past behaviour, could explain fruit and vegetable intake (Study 1: N = 210; mean age = 22.91; SD = 8.33 ) and red meat consumption (Study 2: N = 405; mean age = 19.58; SD = 2.03). Results found support for the validity of TPB for explaining these behaviours and showed the additional predictive role of self-identity, even when controlling for past behaviour. Furthermore, two randomized controlled trials evaluated the effectiveness of SMS interventions for increasing fruit and vegetable intake (Study3: N = 1059; mean age: 15.41; SD = 1.53) and for reducing red meat consumption (Study 4: N = 244; mean age: 19.42; SD: 1.44). Findings showed that daily persuasive messages were an effective strategy for increasing fruit and vegetable intake and reducing red meat consumption in young people.
