This PhD studentship will answer novel questions about the psychological and behaviouralprocesses that determine how and why both food marketing and the out of home food sectorcontribute to overeating and obesity. In doing so, it will inform public health policy developmentsand shape UK Government strategies to reduce obesity. This project will involve four main empirical research studies, two addressing the psychology of consumer behaviour in the out of home food sector and two addressing the impact of food marketing on eating and eating-related behaviours. Across the four studies we will also consider the role of inequalities by recruiting participants from across the socioeconomic (SES) spectrum.
