Title	When snacks become meals: How hunger and environmental cues bias food intake
Published in	International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, January 2010
DOI	10.1186/1479-5868-7-63
Pubmed ID	20738868
Authors	Mitsuru Shimizu, Collin R Payne, Brian Wansink
Abstract	While environmental and situational cues influence food intake, it is not always clear how they do so. We examine whether participants consume more when an eating occasion is associated with meal cues than with snack cues. We expect their perception of the type of eating occasion to mediate the amount of food they eat. In addition, we expect the effect of those cues on food intake to be strongest among those who are hungry.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 August 2022.

All research outputs

#13,687,824

of 21,934,632 outputs

Outputs from International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

#1,686

of 1,876 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#170,686

of 324,778 outputs

Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

of 1 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 21,934,632 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.

So far Altmetric has tracked 1,876 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 28.1. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,778 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.

We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
