Individuals make thousands of decisions each day and are faced with hundreds of food choices. If we had to stop and analyze every decision completely we would never get anything done. That is why we often look for shortcuts or clues to help us out. And students are no different. Research from social psychology says the persuasion principles of Liking, Reciprocity, Scarcity, Consistency, Consensus, and Authority offer people clues or decision shortcuts on how to behave. These principles offer an alternative to restriction and elimination of food choices and are a positive way to encourage kids to eat healthier foods. Zena Edwards, MS, RD, Associate Professor, Food Safety & Nutrition, Washington State University Extenion
will cover how these “decision triggers” can be used ethically in a school environment to influence students’ food choices.
