Research

Healthy eating starts with healthy food choices made at purchase settings. Each day, individuals make many food decisions. In order to make an informed and conscious food decision that promotes a positive long term outcome, a high level of self-control seems to be a prerequisite. Unfortunately, many of our daily food decisions are made under low self-control conditions and involve unhealthy choices. In my project, I will investigate how a low level of self-control can be beneficial. By applying social influence and persuasion techniques to food decision contexts, I will try to influence people to make healthy choices under conditions of low self-control. 

Education

In 2008 I obtained my BSc degree in Psychology and in 2010 my MSc degree in Social and Health Psychology, both at Utrecht University. Since July 2010 I started as a PhD student at the Marketing department of the University of Groningen, under supervision of prof. dr. Bob Fennis, prof. dr. Denise de Ridder, dr. Marieke Adriaanse and dr. Emely de Vet.
