In the Netherlands, school lunches have not traditionally been part of the culture, as most children bring packed lunches from home. However, there is growing advocacy for introducing school lunches in The Netherlands. This highlights the importance of understanding parental support for school lunches. The aim of this study was to investigate parental support and preferences for different school lunch concepts in Dutch primary schools and to examine subgroup differences by sex, education level, financial situation, and migration background. This cross-sectional study was conducted among Dutch parents of primary school children. Participants completed an online questionnaire in which their support for six healthy school lunch concepts was measured (Likert scale ranging from −2 to +2) as well as their preferred lunch concept. Results showed that a total of 1861 parents completed the questionnaire (82.6 % female, mean age 45.5, SD: 5.8 years). The highest parental support was found for the concepts “sandwiches prepared by the children themselves at school” (mean 0.95, SD: 1.09) and “school policy for a healthy lunch from home” (mean 0.88, SD: 1.04). The lowest parental support and preferred concepts were hot lunch concepts, although parents with a non-Western migration background reported greater support and preference for hot lunch concepts. The results of this study showed that there is support for schools providing lunch in the Netherlands, especially for those concepts that resemble the type of lunches that children currently bring from home. For implementation, it is important to take into account subgroup differences.
在荷兰,学校午餐并不是传统文化的一部分,因为大多数孩子都从家里自带午餐。然而,越来越多的人主张在荷兰引入学校午餐。这凸显了理解家长支持学校午餐的重要性。本研究的目的是调查荷兰小学中家长对不同学校午餐概念的支持和偏好,并根据性别、教育水平、经济状况和移民背景检查亚组差异。这项横断面研究是在荷兰小学生的父母中进行的。参与者完成了一份在线调查问卷,其中测量了他们对六种健康学校午餐概念的支持度(李克特量表范围从- 2到+2)以及他们喜欢的午餐概念。结果共1861名家长完成问卷调查,其中女性占82.6%,平均年龄45.5岁,SD: 5.8岁。家长对“孩子们在学校自己准备三明治”(平均值0.95,标准差1.09)和“学校关于在家吃健康午餐的政策”(平均值0.88,标准差1.04)这两个概念的支持度最高。最低的父母支持和偏好的概念是热午餐概念,尽管具有非西方移民背景的父母报告更大的支持和偏好热午餐概念。这项研究的结果表明,在荷兰,人们支持学校提供午餐,特别是那些类似于孩子们目前从家里带来的午餐的概念。对于实现,考虑子组差异是很重要的。

The production of mountain food, and in particular cheese, contributes to sustaining local economies and maintaining historical and cultural traditions. To support this production, the European Union has introduced the optional quality term “mountain product label.” Nonetheless, this label encounters difficulties in establishing a presence in the market and faces competition from other labels, such as Protected Designation of Origin, which could also protect mountain products. The objective of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of consumers interested in the mountain product label to fully leverage its potential. A questionnaire, which included a discrete choice experiment, was conducted with 511 Italian cheese consumers. The data were analyzed through a latent class analysis. According to the analysis, three classes of consumers emerged. The first group consists of individuals who frequently visit the mountain areas, know the mountain product label, are attentive to local production, and care about the environment. The second group consists of consumers interested in the presence of quality labels in general, less attentive to the environment, and less aware of the mountain product label. Lastly, the third group of individuals do not know the label and are not interested. Consequently, there are two classes of respondents potentially interested in the mountain product label. Furthermore, as people's knowledge about the product increases, their willingness to choose it also rises. In developing marketing campaigns, therefore, producers and retailers can use the results of this study to capitalize on the niche of these consumers.
山区食品,特别是奶酪的生产,有助于维持当地经济和维护历史文化传统。为了支持这种生产,欧盟引入了可选的质量术语“山地产品标签”。尽管如此,这个标签在市场上的存在遇到了困难,并面临其他标签的竞争,例如保护原产地标识,这也可以保护山地产品。本文的目的是调查消费者对山地产品标签感兴趣的特点,以充分利用其潜力。研究人员对511名意大利奶酪消费者进行了问卷调查,其中包括离散选择实验。通过潜在类分析对数据进行分析。根据分析,出现了三类消费者。第一类是经常到山区旅游的人,他们知道山区产品的标签,关注当地的生产,关心环境。第二组由消费者对质量标签的存在感兴趣,一般来说,不太关注环境,不太了解山区产品标签。最后,第三组人不知道标签,也不感兴趣。因此,有两类受访者可能对山地产品标签感兴趣。此外,随着人们对产品知识的增加,他们的选择意愿也会增加。因此,在开发营销活动时,生产商和零售商可以利用这项研究的结果来利用这些消费者的利基。

A growing number of individuals desire to cut down on meat consumption, yet translating this intention into action poses challenges. Self-control strategies offer a potential solution but remain under-researched in the area of meat reduction. Applying the Process Model of Self-Control, we explored consumers' knowledge and perceptions of self-control strategies to reduce meat consumption. The model differentiates between five sequential strategy categories: situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change, and response modulation. In Study 1, participants (N = 158) described challenging situations (Nsituations = 443) and potential self-control strategies (Nstrategies = 1320) that were then categorized according to the Process Model. In Study 2, participants (N = 503) evaluated strategies in terms of effectiveness and feasibility. Results showed that reducing meat intake was perceived as more challenging when eating out vs. at home, in company vs. alone, and during dinner vs. other meals. Participants predominantly suggested situation modification strategies, especially modifying the meal itself, while attentional deployment was least prevalent. The five strategy categories of the Process Model differed significantly in perceived effectiveness and feasibility. Four sub-strategies received particularly positive evaluations: choosing goal-congruent situations, modifying the meal, guiding attention towards goal-congruent stimuli, and thinking about animal welfare. Two sub-strategies received rather negative evaluations: modifying the social environment and setting a self-punishment. Trait self-control was not related to strategy knowledge but to finding situations less challenging and strategies more feasible. Our findings highlight strategy knowledge gaps and identify promising self-control strategies for interventions.
越来越多的人希望减少肉类消费,但将这种意愿转化为行动却面临挑战。自我控制策略提供了一个潜在的解决方案,但在减少肉类方面仍未得到充分研究。运用自我控制过程模型,探讨了消费者对减少肉类消费的自我控制策略的认知和认知。该模型区分了五个顺序策略类别:情境选择、情境修正、注意部署、认知改变和反应调节。在研究1中,参与者(N = 158)描述了具有挑战性的情境(N情境= 443)和潜在的自我控制策略(N策略= 1320),然后根据过程模型进行分类。在研究2中,参与者(N = 503)从有效性和可行性方面评估策略。结果显示,减少肉类摄入量被认为在外出就餐时比在家就餐时更具挑战性,在公司用餐时比独自用餐时更具挑战性,在晚餐时比在其他用餐时更具挑战性。参与者主要提出了情境改变策略,尤其是改变食物本身,而注意力调动最不普遍。过程模型的五个策略类别在感知有效性和可行性上存在显著差异。四个子策略得到了特别积极的评价:选择目标一致的情况,修改膳食,将注意力引导到目标一致的刺激上,以及考虑动物福利。两个子策略:改变社会环境和设置自我惩罚得到了相当负面的评价。特质自我控制与策略知识无关,而与寻找更少挑战的情境和更可行的策略有关。我们的研究结果突出了策略知识差距,并确定了有希望的干预自我控制策略。

Consumer acceptance of biofortified vitamin-A-rich products by urban populations in developing countries is an important preventive pathway for addressing vitamin A deficiencies by easing nutritional availability and access. The present study used data from a multi-variable in-store consumer study in Rwanda with bread and a snack product (mandazi) to develop and test a measure for stated purchase intentions based on Rasch scaling, and investigates the structural relationship between purchase intentions and multiple measures of potential drivers for purchase intentions. The study investigates the extent to which the purchase intent influence the decisions and monetary product preferences within an in-store Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) auction based on a product exchange to the biofortified product using the self-selected non-fortified product as reference. The key finding is that the nature of the relationship between the methods to elicit preferences is product-specific because of differences in the outcome of the BDM. The nature of the relationship also depends on whether the measurement uncertainty in the Rasch score for person locations for purchase intentions is considered. Including the measurement uncertainty reverses the extent to which the choice to bid and the bid amount within the BDM are driven by separate processes. Moreover, while actual liking helped predict purchase intentions, no evidence was found of such association for nutritional beliefs. Sensory attributes for the vitamin-A-biofortified products do not serve as key product features to promote (or detract from) purchase intentions. Overall, these findings indicate that auction-based methods and Rasch scales for purchase intentions are complementary measures in product research.
发展中国家城市人口对富含维生素A的生物强化产品的接受,是通过简化营养供应和获取来解决维生素A缺乏症的重要预防途径。本研究使用来自卢旺达面包和零食产品(mandazi)的多变量店内消费者研究数据,开发并测试了基于Rasch尺度的声明购买意愿测量,并调查了购买意愿与购买意愿潜在驱动因素的多种测量之间的结构关系。本研究以自行选择的非强化产品为参照,调查了在以生物强化产品交换为基础的店内贝克尔-德格罗特-马尔沙克(BDM)拍卖中,购买意图对决策和货币产品偏好的影响程度。关键的发现是,引起偏好的方法之间的关系的本质是特定于产品的,因为BDM的结果不同。这种关系的性质还取决于是否考虑了Rasch分数中用于购买意向的人员位置的测量不确定性。包括测量的不确定性逆转了投标选择和投标金额在BDM内由不同过程驱动的程度。此外,虽然实际的喜欢有助于预测购买意愿,但没有证据表明这种联系与营养信念有关。维生素a生物强化产品的感官属性不能作为促进(或减少)购买意图的关键产品特征。总体而言,这些发现表明基于拍卖的方法和Rasch购买意愿量表在产品研究中是互补的。

Correcting misinformation about the health and environmental consequences of meat consumption is crucial, yet research on effective debunking techniques remains limited. Past research suggests that the truth sandwich text format can counter nutrition myths, but its effectiveness for meat myths, its longer-term effects, and the role of potential moderators remain unclear. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the truth sandwich in debunking meat myths, both immediately and after two weeks, and examines whether trust in science moderates these effects. A prestudy identified prevalent meat myths, from which two were selected for the main study. For the main study, we conducted a preregistered longitudinal study with a representative sample of 537 German meat consumers. The study used a 3 (text: truth sandwich about a health-related meat myth, truth sandwich about an environment-related meat myth, control text) x 2 (time: immediately, after two weeks) mixed experimental design. The dependent variables were agreement with a) the health-related meat myth and b) the environment-related meat myth. We conducted analyses of variance and moderation analyses for each time point and each dependent variable. Results show that truth sandwich texts effectively reduced immediate myth agreement. However, debunking effects were no longer present after two weeks. While higher trust in science was linked to lower myth agreement, it did not moderate the effects of truth sandwich texts. We conclude that the truth sandwich is a powerful text format for debunking meat myths, but additional strategies are needed to achieve long-lasting myth correction.
纠正有关肉类消费对健康和环境影响的错误信息至关重要,但对有效揭穿技术的研究仍然有限。过去的研究表明,三明治文本格式可以反驳营养神话,但它对肉类神话的有效性、长期影响以及潜在调节者的作用仍不清楚。本研究评估了真相三明治在揭穿肉类神话中的有效性,包括立即和两周后,并检验了对科学的信任是否会缓和这些影响。一项预先研究确定了流行的肉类神话,从中选择了两个进行主要研究。在主要研究中,我们对537名德国肉类消费者的代表性样本进行了一项预先登记的纵向研究。该研究采用了3(文本:与健康有关的肉类神话的真相三明治,与环境有关的肉类神话的真相三明治,对照文本)x 2(时间:立即,两周后)混合实验设计。因变量符合a)与健康有关的肉类神话和b)与环境有关的肉类神话。我们对每个时间点和每个因变量进行方差分析和适度分析。结果表明,真相三明治文本有效地减少了立即神话协议。然而,两周后,揭穿效应不再存在。虽然对科学的高度信任与较低的神话认同有关,但它并没有缓和真理三明治文本的影响。我们得出结论,真相三明治是揭穿肉类神话的有力文本格式,但需要额外的策略来实现持久的神话纠正。

Modeling and correction of sensitivity thresholds determined by best EstimateThreshold (BET) best EstimateThreshold (BET)确定的灵敏度阈值的建模与校正

The r-Alternative Forced Choice (r-AFC) test is a test of discrimination in which the subject is presented with three samples, one of which is a test sample containing a nominated stimulus (test sample), the other being references. The subject is instructed to indicate the test sample. Taste and odor sensitivity thresholds are frequently determined using successive r-AFC tests with stimuli in increasing concentrations. The Best Estimate Threshold (BET) method consists in using successive 3-AFC with increasing concentrations to estimate sensitivity threshold. Then, the threshold is estimated using the geometrical mean of the highest concentration that caused an error and the concentration directly below it. However, a subject who feels no difference between the samples may give a correct answer by chance. It leads to consequent potential bias in the determination of the sensitivity thresholds.
This paper aims to formalize and model the thresholds obtained in successive r-AFC in order to quantify the errors inherent in such protocols. It establishes that, when you assumed that the distribution of the true sensitivity threshold is known in the population, the threshold obtained by r-AFC can be modelled with a variable following a specific probability law.
This paper presents the theory of this model, then illustrate it with simulations and application on a real dataset. An R package dedicated to these analyses, AFCR, was also created and is available on github (https://github.com/ChemoSens/AFCR). Therefore, sensory scientists could use the package as a help to set up their sensory protocol or-to analyze their own data.
r-Alternative Forced Choice (r-AFC)测试是一种歧视测试,其中向受试者提供三个样本,其中一个是包含指定刺激(测试样本)的测试样本,另一个是参考资料。受试者被指示指出测试样本。味觉和气味敏感性阈值通常是通过连续的r-AFC试验来确定的,刺激浓度不断增加。最佳估计阈值(BET)方法是使用连续的3-AFC浓度增加来估计灵敏度阈值。然后,使用引起误差的最高浓度的几何平均值和直接低于它的浓度来估计阈值。然而,一个感觉不到样本之间差异的受试者可能会偶然给出一个正确的答案。在确定灵敏度阈值时,它会导致潜在的偏差。本文旨在对连续r-AFC中获得的阈值进行形式化和建模,以便量化此类协议中固有的误差。它表明,当您假设真实灵敏度阈值在总体中的分布是已知的时,r-AFC获得的阈值可以用遵循特定概率律的变量建模。本文首先介绍了该模型的原理,然后通过仿真和在实际数据集上的应用进行了说明。专门用于这些分析的R包AFCR也被创建,并可在github (https://github.com/ChemoSens/AFCR)上获得。因此,感官科学家可以使用这个包来帮助建立他们的感官协议或分析他们自己的数据。

Meat consumption in many high-income countries exceeds planetary boundaries, with red and processed meat often eaten at levels linked to health risks. This study examined how attitudes to meat consumption relate to the perceived effectiveness of reduction policies and interventions. A survey of 1590 adults in Scotland, using the Capabilities, Opportunities, and Motivations of Behaviour (COMB) framework, assessed meat consumption attitudes and behaviours. Participants completed a Best-Worst Scaling (BWS) task to rank the effectiveness of 25 potential policies and interventions. Latent class analysis identified four attitudinal subgroups: Resistant, Ambivalent, Open, and Active meat reducers. Meat was consumed on average five days per week. 51.1 % reported no intention to change their consumption, while 42.7 % were open to, or actively reducing intake. The frequency of meat consumption was lower in the Active group. Across the sample and classes, measures that lower the price of plant-based options and improve their appeal, variety, and availability were rated most effective, while information-only approaches (for example, flyers, weekly messages, celebrity endorsement) were consistently rated lowest. Class differences were modest; for example, the Resistant group rated fiscal and legislative levers slightly higher. These results support population-level changes to the food environment, especially pricing support and improving the appeal and choice of plant-based foods, over information-only strategies. COM-B segmentation can inform how these measures are framed for different audiences. Because ratings reflect perceived rather than tested effectiveness, they should guide policy and intervention prioritisation and design alongside experimental and implementation evidence.
许多高收入国家的肉类消费超出了地球的极限,红肉和加工肉的食用水平往往与健康风险有关。本研究考察了对肉类消费的态度与减少政策和干预措施的感知有效性之间的关系。一项对苏格兰1590名成年人的调查,使用能力、机会和行为动机(COMB)框架,评估了肉类消费的态度和行为。参与者完成了一项最佳最差评分(BWS)任务,对25项潜在政策和干预措施的有效性进行排名。潜在类别分析确定了四个态度亚组:抗性,矛盾,开放和积极减肉者。每周平均有5天吃肉。51.1%的人表示无意改变他们的饮食习惯,而42.7%的人表示愿意或积极减少摄入。活跃组的肉类消费频率较低。在样本和类别中,降低植物性选择价格并提高其吸引力、多样性和可用性的措施被评为最有效的措施,而仅提供信息的方法(例如传单、每周信息、名人代言)一直被评为最低。阶级差异不大;例如,耐药集团对财政和立法杠杆的评价略高。这些结果支持在人口层面改变粮食环境,特别是价格支持和改善植物性食品的吸引力和选择,而不是仅提供信息的策略。COM-B分段可以告知如何为不同的受众制定这些措施。由于评级反映的是感知效果,而不是经过检验的效果,因此它们应指导政策和干预措施的优先排序以及设计,同时也应提供实验和实施证据。

Understanding sensory characteristics is essential for predicting consumer preferences and guiding product innovation. However, profiling fresh produce poses challenges due to its inherent variability and the lack of standardized category benchmarks. This study applied and evaluated Affect Magnitude Profiling (AMP), a consumer-centered sensory profiling method designed to address these challenges. AMP combines familiarization sessions, allowing consumers to generate intuitive and consumer-relevant attribute terms, with the Double-Faced Applicability (DFA) test, a two-step, Signal Detection Theory (SDT)-based procedure using bipolar semantic descriptors to quantify both the applicability and perceived strength of attributes with minimal training. Ten lettuce varieties were profiled using both AMP and generalized Descriptive Analysis (gDA). gDA, conducted with a trained panel, provided detailed, analytically derived sensory attributes, while AMP, conducted with a small consumer panel, generated holistic, affective, and consumer-relevant descriptors. Across 18 paired descriptors, dA (affect-magnitude d-prime) values derived from AMP demonstrated great sample discriminability and identified key consumer-driven attributes driving liking, including ‘not bitter’, ‘taste good’, and ‘crinkled’. These findings highlight the complementary value of AMP and gDA: AMP captures consumer-relevant, affective perceptions and enables rapid, resource-efficient profiling, while gDA delivers analytical precision for interpreting consumer insights. Together, these approaches provide a robust framework for sensory characterization, early-stage product development, and the study of complex or variable products. AMP’s integration of consumer-derived language, familiarization, and SDT-based quantification offers actionable insights for both research and industry, enhancing the ability to align fresh product design with consumer expectations.
了解感官特征对于预测消费者偏好和指导产品创新至关重要。然而,由于其固有的可变性和缺乏标准化的类别基准,分析新鲜农产品带来了挑战。本研究应用并评估了影响幅度分析(AMP),这是一种以消费者为中心的感官分析方法,旨在解决这些挑战。AMP结合了熟悉课程,允许消费者生成直观的和与消费者相关的属性术语,以及双面适用性(DFA)测试,这是一个两步,基于信号检测理论(SDT)的过程,使用双极性语义描述符,以最少的训练量化属性的适用性和感知强度。利用AMP和广义描述分析(gDA)对10个生菜品种进行了分析。gDA由一个训练有素的小组进行,提供了详细的、分析得出的感官属性,而AMP由一个小的消费者小组进行,生成了整体的、情感的和与消费者相关的描述符。在18个成对的描述符中,从AMP中得出的d ' a(影响幅度d-prime)值显示了很强的样本可辨性,并确定了驱动喜好的关键消费者驱动属性,包括“不苦”、“味道好”和“有皱纹”。这些发现突出了AMP和gDA的互补价值:AMP捕捉与消费者相关的情感感知,并实现快速、资源高效的分析,而gDA则提供准确的分析,以解释消费者的见解。总之,这些方法为感官表征、早期产品开发以及复杂或可变产品的研究提供了一个强大的框架。AMP整合了消费者衍生的语言、熟悉度和基于sdt的量化,为研究和行业提供了可操作的见解,增强了将新产品设计与消费者期望相结合的能力。

The growing interest in transitioning to more plant-based diets has increased the need to understand the factors that drive consumers' acceptance of plant-based alternatives. This study examines how individual traits, such as meat attachment, environmental and health concerns, animal sacrifice concerns, and food neophilia, influence young Spanish consumers' attitudes towards plant-based products. Data on consumers' attitudes towards meat reduction and food neophilia were collected from 361 consumers aged 18–35 years using an online survey. Consumers assessed their expected liking and purchase intention of plant-based burgers with different primary sources of plant protein (soy, pea, or wheat). The results showed that the source of plant protein did not affect consumer response. Meat attachment, environmental, and animal sacrifice concerns had significant (p < 0.05) direct effect on the expected liking and purchase intention of plant-based products, whereas the direct effect of health concerns was not significant (p > 0.05). Mediation analysis using indirect effect estimands in AMOS showed that animal sacrifice concerns mediated the relationship between environmental concerns and both expected liking and purchase intention (partial mediation), and between health concerns and the same outcomes (full mediation), whereas no mediation was observed for meat attachment. Hence, focusing on animal sacrifice concerns may be especially effective as a driver to reinforce the environmental and health benefits of plant-based alternatives, but not for those with meat attachment attitudes. Our findings highlight that food neophilia and dietary patterns play key roles in shaping young Spanish consumers' acceptance of plant-based products.
人们对转向更多植物性饮食的兴趣日益浓厚,这就增加了了解促使消费者接受植物性替代品的因素的需求。本研究考察了个体特征,如对肉类的依赖、对环境和健康的关注、对动物牺牲的关注和对食品的新喜好,如何影响西班牙年轻消费者对植物性产品的态度。通过在线调查收集了361名年龄在18-35岁之间的消费者对减肉和新食品的态度数据。消费者评估了他们对不同植物蛋白主要来源(大豆、豌豆或小麦)的植物汉堡的预期喜爱程度和购买意愿。结果表明,植物蛋白的来源不影响消费者的反应。肉类依恋、环境和动物牺牲关注对植物性产品的预期喜爱和购买意愿有显著的直接影响(p < 0.05),而健康关注的直接影响不显著(p < 0.05)。在AMOS中使用间接效应估计的中介分析表明,动物牺牲关注在环境关注与预期喜欢和购买意愿之间(部分中介)以及健康关注与相同结果之间(完全中介)之间起中介作用,而在肉类依恋中没有观察到中介作用。因此,关注动物祭祀可能特别有效地推动了植物替代品对环境和健康的好处,但对那些对肉类有依恋态度的人来说却不是这样。我们的研究结果强调,食物偏好和饮食模式在塑造西班牙年轻消费者对植物性产品的接受度方面发挥了关键作用。
