My research focuses on understanding how people manage the many different influences on the ways that they think, feel, and act related to food and eating. I am interested in the food choice values people consider, the way they address conflicting values in food choice, and how personal, social, and situational factors are involved. Our research group developed the Food Choice Process Model to represent the factors and processes involved in behaviors related to food and eating. Recent studies have examined dietary change processes of gastric bypass patients, the ways that people construct and enact family meals, the scripts and routines that working adults have for eating in different settings, and the ways that adolescent female athletes and their families manage food and eating.
