Relating the food involvement scale to demographic variables, food choice and other constructs

Marshall, David, Bell, Rick·2004·Food Quality and Preference

Abstract

This paper describes recent research with the Food Involvement Scale (FIS), relating it to other constructs and demographics, and its potential influence on food choices. We administered the FIS and other established scales to a sample of undergraduates (n = 109) from a UK university. The FIS was found to be associated with many other scales, and a multiple regression suggested that higher levels of food involvement are associated with living with two or more friends, cooking for one's self, having regular meals, and being older. We then administered the FIS along with the Block Food Frequency questionnaire to a sample of military personnel (n = 2068) and compared food intake patterns between high and low involvement subjects. The analysis suggests that food involvement, as measured by FIS, appears to mediate differences in food choices and food choice patterns.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
