We used constructionist social definition perspectives to inductively develop a food choice process model that organizes a broad scope of factors and dynamics involved in food behaviors. Each offers some insights but also makes limiting assumptions that prevent fully explaining food choice decisions. Several classes of theories are applicable to food decision making, including social behavior, social facts, and social definition perspectives. Many disciplines and fields examine decision making. These effects were mediated by maximizers' greater reliance on external sources of information and their fixation on realized and unrealized options during the search and selection process.read more read lessĪbstract: Food choice decisions are frequent, multifaceted, situational, dynamic, and complex and lead to food behaviors where people acquire, prepare, serve, give away, store, eat, and clean up. However, maximizers were less satisfied than satisficers with the jobs they obtained, and experienced more negative affect throughout the job-search process. Students with high maximizing tendencies secured jobs with 20% higher starting salaries than did students with low maximizing tendencies. Specifically, in the fall of their final year in school, students were administered a scale that measured maximizing tendencies and were then followed over the course of the year as they searched for jobs. ethnic groups, the results suggest that emerging adults utilize agentic capacities to varying degrees, and that the degree of agency utilized is directly related to.read more read lessĪbstract: Expanding upon Simon's (1955) seminal theory, this investigation compared the choice-making strategies of maximizers and satisficers, finding that maximizing tendencies, although positively correlated with objectively better decision outcomes, are also associated with more negative subjective evaluations of these decision outcomes. Cluster analysis was used to examine and support a theorized polarity between developmental and default forms of individualization. Structural equation modeling analyses suggest that higher levels of agency are positively related to exploration and flexible commitment, unrelated to conformity, and negatively related to avoidance.
This study examines three psychological aspects of identity formation (style, status, and process) in relation to personal agency associated with the individualization process. Although identity issues are prominent during this period, the role of personal agency and individualization in the identity formation process during these years is not well understood. Abstract: The study of emerging adulthood-the prolonged transition to adulthood extending into the 20s-is a rapidly growing area of research.
