地位较低的工作、高工作量和缺乏对工作的控制与不太健康的饮食有关，但工作与食物选择的联系方式尚不清楚。这项分析是对员工在工作与食物选择之间关系的体验进行的一项调查。1995年，51名居住在纽约州北部的多族裔、城市、低收入和中等收入成年人参加了一项关于水果和蔬菜选择的定性访谈研究，并讨论了就业和食物选择。参与这项研究的工人描述了他们在其他角色和价值观的背景下所经历的工作和食物选择之间的动态关系。这些工人呈现出一种关系，其特点是他们的工作与他们履行家庭角色和促进个人健康的能力之间存在积极和消极的溢出效应，并通过一系列食物选择策略联系在一起。参与者的叙述符合三个不同的领域：工作及其食物选择资源的特征，在工作限制下管理食物选择的策略，以及与这些策略对家庭角色和个人食物选择的消极和积极溢出有关的影响。对工作的描述是苛刻和有限的，或者是苛刻和可管理的，这些参与者将他们的食物选择策略视为内疚和不满的来源(负面溢出)，与那些将食物选择作为骄傲和满意的来源(积极溢出)的参与者区分开来。与食物选择和健康有关的理想和价值观与家庭亲近、养育和个人成就的其他价值观进行了权衡。一些参与者认为工作不成问题。这些发现将注意力集中在对工作与食物选择关系的广泛概念化上，在这种概念化中，工作角色的需求和资源被视为溢出到其他角色和价值观的社会和时间背景中。(C)2002爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
Lower status jobs, high workloads and lack of control at work have been associated with less healthful diets, but the ways through which work is connected to food choices are not well understood. This analysis was an examination of workers' experience of the relationship of their jobs to their food choices. Fifty-one multi-ethnic, urban, low- and moderate-income adults living in Upstate New York in 1995 participated in a qualitative interview study of fruit and vegetable choices and discussed employment and food choices. The workers who participated in this study described a dynamic relationship between work and food choices that they experienced in the context of their other roles and values. These workers presented a relationship that was characterized by positive and negative spillover between their jobs and their ability to fulfill family roles and promote personal health, linked by a spectrum of food choice strategies. Participants' narratives fit into three different domains: characterizations of work and their resources for food choice, strategies used to manage food choices within the constraints of work, and affect related to the negative and positive spillover of these strategies on family roles and on personal food choices. Characterizations of work as demanding and limiting or demanding and manageable differentiated participants who experienced their food choice strategies as a source of guilt and dissatisfaction (negative spillover) from those who experienced food choices as a source of pride and satisfaction (positive spillover). Ideals and values related to food choice and health were balanced against other values for family closeness and nurturing and personal achievement. Some participants found work unproblematic. These findings direct attention to a broad conceptualization of the relationship of work to food choices in which the demands and resources of the work role are viewed as they spill over into the social and temporal context of other roles and values.
