The role of initiatory and inhibitory self-control in the relationship of nature contact and health behaviours

This project aims to examine the relationship between nature contact and health eating behaviours, focusing on the mediation role of initiatory and inhibitory self-control. Specifically, we employs a experiment design to manipulate nature contact to investigate: 1) Whether nature contact significantly and positively predicts healthy eating behaviour; 2) The mediating role of initiatory self-control between nature contact and healthy eating behaviour, i.e., whether nature contact enhances healthy eating behaviour by promoting initiatory self-control. 3) Whether nature contact significantly and negatively predicts unhealthy eating behaviour; 4) The mediating role of inhibitory self-control between nature contact and unhealthy eating behaviour, i.e. ,whether nature contact decreases unhealthy eating behaviour by promoting inhibitory self-control.
