1-4-1 Quiz: Scientific method

Document Content and Description Below

On pages 13 and 14 of the article, the authors summarize previous research examining food environments, health, and physical environments; draw from observations in behavioral economics; and examine ... concepts of ecology to better understand their research topic. - ANS-Reviewing the literature In the introduction, the authors discussed that, despite the proven health benefits of diets rich in fruits and vegetables, over 50% of U.S. adults are "currently considered overweight or obese" and that health officials are struggling to find ways to communicate the benefits and potential risks of different foods (Cannuscio, Hillier, Karpyn, & Glanz, 2014, p. 13). The authors went on to note that "evidence is mixed regarding how this distribution of material resources affects diet quality and risk of obesity and chronic diseases" (Cannuscio et al., 2014, p. 14). - ANS-Identifying a problem On page 18 of the article, the authors note that "our findings suggest that every aspect of food shopping, including travel, budgeting, and interaction with both the physical environment and other people, is tightly interwoven with social roles, relationships, status, and needs. In this study, food-shopping behaviors often were entwined with socioeconomic status, education, and race. These results suggest that social contexts may offer untapped opportunities for public health interventions" (Cannuscio, Hillier, Karpyn, & Glanz, 2014). - ANS-Drawing conclusions "How do 'residents interact with and within their local food landscape as they make choices about whether to purchase more or less healthy foods'? (Cannuscio, Hillier, Karpyn, & Glanz, 2014, p. 14)" - ANS-Asking a question The authors note that "a limitation of our work is the assumption of the rational consumer—the consumer who is actively and consciously deciding where to shop and what to buy. Reality may be more complex, with shopping choices resulting both from conscious and unconscious processes—including habits developed to manage a frequently repeated behavior" (Cannuscio, Hillier, Karpyn, & Glanz, 2014, p. 18). Therefore, future research should focus on areas of inquiry that address the limitations of the reviewed stu [Show More]
