Choice and Quantity in Conflict: Post-Taste Food Consumption and Inferences of Self-Control
Much research uses observed choices of vice versus virtue foods to make inferences about self-control. This may be misleading because the sensation of taste, post-choice, can greatly influence people’s consumption behaviors. Two experiments demonstrate that trait self-control can have an ironic effect on actual intake of supposedly virtuous choices.
