Embarrassed While Ordering Food? Role of Calorie Posting and Social Context
We demonstrate that whether or not calorie information lowers the total calorie of food orders depends on the social (public-private) nature of the situation. We further show that this joint effect of calorie information and social context occurs through motivations of impression management as ordering excessive calories might increase embarrassment.
