Effect(s) of individually tailored assessment on daily life snacking behaviors

Previous research indicates that repeated self-monitoring of eating and/or snacking behaviors may lead to reductions in these behaviors over time. Building on this evidence, the present study investigates whether individually tailored versus non-tailored assessments differentially influence snacking behavior. Specifically, the study focuses on high-caloric, palatable snacks. Using smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Assessments, participants will complete brief surveys six times per day over a 14-day period, reporting eating behavior, cravings, self-control, and affect.
