Abstract

The global rise in the obesity epidemic is largely driven by the consumption of foods that contribute to significant health risks. This research study focuses on the social and personal factors that influence food portions, in addition to environmental factors. The study is designed to investigate the effect of unfamiliar companion, impression management, and emotional eating on food portions in Indonesia. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design in a laboratory setting, using a fake food buffet by recruiting 245 undergraduate students. The results indicated that unfamiliar companion, impression management, and emotional eating had a significant main effect and interaction effect on individuals' food portions (p < 0.05). This was demonstrated by the difference in food portion between people eating alone and in the presence of an unfamiliar companion. It might explain that individuals are aware of maintaining a positive image during meals by choosing food portions that are perceived to reflect positive perceptions when dining with a person who lacks familiarity or personal connection. The research findings can be utilised as a reference for fundamental understanding of mitigation strategies for reducing food portions among adults.

Abstract

Obesity will stay as a global health issue if individuals continue to engage in unhealthy eating behaviors and insufficient consumption of nutritious food. This study seeks to explore how gender and restrained eating style influence healthy food choices in Indonesia. This study uses a quasi-experimental design which includes self-reported measures through the DEBQ questionnaire, alongside a behavioral experiment conducted in a Dummy Supermarket, with 185 undergraduates’ students being participants. The findings indicate that two factors, gender (p = .015) and restrained eating style (p = .001), significantly impacted individuals’ healthy food choices. This is evidenced by the quantity of food items selected from the dummy supermarket, highlighting the meaningful role these factors play in healthy food selections. The interaction effect of gender and restrained eating style on healthy food choice was not significant (p = .074), indicating that the combined influence of these two factors did not produce a distinct effect beyond their individual contributions. These findings offer essential insight for creating effetive interventions designed to enhance awareness, reduce the consumption of unhealthy products among adults, and potentially lead to a descrease in obesity rates especially in Indonesia.
