Abstract:
... Microplastics in food are receiving increasing attention because they are directly ingested by humans and pose a health threat. However, little attention has been paid to the microplastics resulting from the disposable drink cups. Here, we analyzed the microplastic contamination in beverages in three commonly used plastic cups (PP, PET, and PE cups). Effects of the cup materials, the residence tim ...

Abstract:
... A growing number of studies have shown that impaired visibility caused by particulate matter pollution influences emotional wellbeing. However, evidence is still scant on how this effect varies across individuals and over repetitive visual exposure in a controlled environment. Herein, we designed a lab-based experiment (41 subjects, 6 blocks) where participants were presented with real-scene image ...

Abstract:
... Eating candy is pleasurable. Yet, eating candy in large quantities is not recommended. Manufacturers have consistently produced small portion sizes of a variety of candy. While consuming small versus large portion sizes is healthier, do people experience the same amount of pleasure from eating a small portion and does it matter how it is eaten? In a pre-registered study, we examined how candy port ...

Abstract:
... Recycling phosphorus (P) from waste is an effective way to alleviate resource and environmental pollution due to excessive phosphate consumption. In order to better understand the feedback of P cycle to waste recycling methods, a P waste feedback model was built and was then used to predict P waste generation, recycling, loss and phosphate consumption in China under several P management scenarios. ...

Abstract:
... Traditional foods are often perceived to be high in fat and energy-dense and therefore individuals that aim to adopt a healthy diet could be discouraged to consume them. To date, consumer research investigating the interlink of healthy and traditional eating attitudes is lacking. We conducted a cross-country study with a total sample of 5928 consumers from 10 countries worldwide and used the Theor ...

However, it is unknown whether people endorse this norm because they agree with it, or whether they endorse it because they overestimate the degree to which other people agree with this norm – a phenomenon that is labeled as ‘pluralistic ignorance’. We examined ...
