Cognitive Fatigue, Humor, and Physical Activity: A Field Experiment Testing Whether Humorous Messages Promote Walking in Cognitively Fatigued Individuals.

Despite the success of humorous messages in various health interventions, its role in promoting physical activity (PA) remains understudied. This study addresses this gap by investigating the effectiveness of humorous messages in a 2-week smartphone-based intervention aimed at promoting walking behavior, particularly amongst cognitively fatigued individuals. Female participants ( = 57; = 32.

The impact of nutritional labeling on adult snack choices: A controlled field experiment in a non-commercial professional setting.

Each year, 2.8 million people die because of comorbidities associated with being overweight. Snacking substantially contributes to people's calorie intake.

Food for thought: Reinforced learning and recall of physical activity calorie equivalent (PACE) and numerical calorie content in an associative learning task.

Calorie overconsumption has been proposed as a critical contributing factor to rising obesity rates. To combat this health issue, governments and policymakers have suggested implementing numerical caloric content labels. Alternatively, physical activity calorie equivalent (PACE) labels are being proposed as an easier-to-understand metric, representing the amount of physical activity required to burn off calorie content.

What the curtains do not shield: A phenomenological exploration of patient-witnessed resuscitation in hospital. Part 2: Healthcare professionals' experiences.

Aims: To explore healthcare professionals' experiences of patient-witnessed resuscitation in hospital.

Design: Descriptive phenomenology.

Methods: Healthcare professionals involved in hospital resuscitation activities were recruited from medical, intensive care, resuscitation and education departments in a university hospital in England.

What the curtains do not shield: A phenomenological exploration of patient-witnessed resuscitation in hospital. Part 1: patients' experiences.

Aims: The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of hospital patients who witnessed resuscitation of a fellow patient.

Design: Descriptive phenomenology.

Methods: Patients who witnessed resuscitation were recruited from nine clinical wards in a university hospital in England.

Evaluating an Intervention to Reduce Risky Driving Behaviors: Taking the Fear Out of Virtual Reality.

Educational programs are the most common type of intervention to reduce risky driving behavior. Their success, however, depends on the content of the material used and the mode of delivery. In the present study, we examined the impact of fear versus positively framed road safety films and traditional technologies (2D) versus emerging technologies (VR) on young drivers' self-reported risky driving behaviors.

A Cross-Cultural Study of Risky Online Self-Presentation.

The use of social media is pervasive among young adults. However, not all posted content is beneficial to their self-presentation, but can have negative and damaging consequences. This study investigated how individual differences in self-monitoring and impulsiveness influence risky online self-presentation in British and Italian samples.
