Particularly, she studies the persuasiveness of messaging interventions for promoting healthy eating behaviours, such as adequate consumption of fruit and vegetable or red meat. Specifically, she is investigating cognitive versus affective influences on healthy eating behaviours and the impact of self-monitoring as a change technique to increase healthy eating behaviours. Within the framework of Marketing Psychology, she is investigating psychological models for explaining the consumers? choice of organic and natural products. She is also developing different applications of persuasive communication for increasing the willing to pay a premium for different new products. She is also investigating the consumers? reactions to food scandals, such as the Land of Fires. Generally, her studies are based on the theoretical model proposed by the Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen, 1991) and she is studying in deep the predictive role of additional constructs, such as self-identity and anticipated regret.Dr. Sharda P.
