The Influence of Belief-Consistent Nutrition Information on Food Consumption
This research examines the effect of nutrition information that is consistent with consumers' category-based beliefs. Consumption decisions, for either healthy or unhealthy foods, are not materially influenced by belief-consistent nutrition information (Study 1). However, after having chosen either a healthy or an unhealthy item, a subsequent decision regarding indulgent food is indeed affected by the prior presence of belief-consistent nutrition information (Study 2). Specifically, people who had made a healthy [unhealthy] choice in the presence of calorie information were less [more] likely to want to indulge afterwards.
