An experiment assessing effects of personalized feedback about genetic susceptibility to obesity on attitudes towards diet and exercise.

Appetite - 1 Jan 2018

Ahn Woo-Kyoung, Lebowitz Matthew S

Abstract excerpt

As increasing attention is paid to possible genetic influences on susceptibility to obesity, recent studies have examined how genetic attributions can impact laypeople's weight-related attitudes and eating behavior. Little consideration, however, has been devoted to understanding the potential effects of learning that one does not have a genetic predisposition to obesity. The present study investigated the...
