Project description

A cross-cultural survey investigates how many and which type of people pursue a health-goal,

and how this relates to their BMI. Next, we examine when a self-control conflict most likely

arises: we study to what extent consumers associate unhealthy food with taste and whether

one pursues a health goal because one should vs wants to do this.
