I Take Therefore I Choose? the Impact of Active Vs. Passive Acquisition on Food Consumption
This research investigates the consequences of actively vs. passively acquiring food items. We demonstrate that active food acquisition generates a false impression of choice, which ultimately lead to increased food consumption. Importantly, the effects are moderated by an individual’s dispositional need-for-control.
