* How can we understand food choice?
* What factors influence dietary change and weight control?
* How does stress influence eating?
* In what ways are foods used to present ourselves to others?
Food is central to the lives of all, and has for centuries been
celebrated in art, poetry and song. More recently, media interest
has focused public attention on the food we eat, and its influence
on physical health and mental well-being. However, it is only in
the past couple of decades that social scientists and social
psychologists in particular have paid significant attention to the
important topic of food. The Social Psychology of Food reviews this
research from the perspective of social psychology.
Key issues are addressed such as the role of various factors in
food choice, the process of dietary change, the role of food in
weight control and disorders of eating, stress and eating, food and
self-presentation. Social psychological concepts are used as ways
of explaining and understanding each of these domains of food
research. The selective and in-depth coverage of the book is
designed to demonstrate what social psychology has contibuted to
the field, and to provide an essential text for students and
researchers in psychology and trainee professionals in health.
