Article Synopsis
- Measuring children's dietary intake is challenging due to social desirability bias, where they may alter their behavior to be viewed more favorably.
- The study assessed 82 children to see if this bias influenced their calorie consumption during a lab meal, focusing on differences by food type and sex.
- Results showed that higher social desirability bias led to lower calorie intake from snacks for all children and from fruits and vegetables specifically for boys, indicating that social perceptions may affect eating habits.
