Healthy eating practices : the role of consideration of future consequences and conscientiousness

Both grandparenting and food provisioning practices play an important role in contemporary family life, but the role of food in grandparent–grandchild and wider family relationships is underresearched. Popular and academic discourse often focuses on grandparents as indulgent feeders with negative implications for children’s weight and eating practices. Drawing on the concept of family identity bundles and interviews with Danish and New Zealand grandparents and grandchildren, it was found that, for both generations, being alone together was a treat in itself and a time for treats, although they were fluent in the discourse of balance and moderation. Grandparents’ food-related practices were shaped by the internalized as well as actual presence of the parents, but they tended to experience rather than express tensions over parental feeding practices. These findings offer a nuanced account of grandparents’ role in children’s (un)healthy eating practices and of the role of food in intergenerational family relationships.

Underlying Processes

Knowledge of the motivational bases of conscientiousness would be crucial for disentangling competing explanations about the processes underlying this trait. Thereby, building on the results of a previous investigation identifying 21 goal classes connected to conscientiousness, we performed three studies aimed at clarifying the full spectrum of goals and motives underlying this trait. In Study 1 ( N = 299), we conceptually replicated the original associations between goal classes and conscientiousness poles, and we identified nine goal classes that individuals ascribe to conscientious profiles more than to other profiles. In Study 2 ( N = 329), we examined the associations between the subjective importance of conscientious and unconscientious goal classes and personality traits, as well as the role of goals for the desire to change one's conscientiousness. In Study 3 ( N = 432), we developed a 72–item assessment of nine goal classes and explored their connections with the most important facets of conscientiousness, self–control, future orientation, and the consideration of future consequences, using network analysis. We discuss the relevance of our results for research on conscientiousness and its underlying processes. © 2020 European Association of Personality Psychology

Selection Of

This study examines whether green buildings support their users in buying residential property, especially the apartment units. This study aims to determine whether green buildings users practice environmentally friendly aspects of choosing a residential property. This study assumes that green buildings can nurture green users and green users over time, become green buyers. The quantitative approach used to prove how many building users have a better concern for the green environment, and this was done through the Consideration of Future Consequences (CFC) Scale and Parameters of Individual Behaviour towards the Environment (PSTL) through a questionnaire. Two scenarios of property brochures (Green and Non-Green) are also used as research mediums, and written interviews are conducted to find factors that support the user in choosing green residential properties. This research shows a significant influence between green buildings’ users and the selection of green residential property by 0.009. It concludes that the questionnaire’s values on all buildings tend to influence or play a role in the user’s property selection. Moreover, the percentage of green buildings users who have chosen green property brochures reaches 79.5% and is higher than the percentage from the users of conventional buildings.
