Background
Thesis title
Revisiting Perceived Hunger; An Examination of Lived Experiences and Research Practices.
Summary of research
Shyanne’s PhD work focused on examining the conflict between the concept of hunger as a regulatory energy balancing process and the more multi-dimensional view incorporating broader cognitive influences. Methods used to assess hunger and influences mediating its fluctuations were identified across the literature, and the impact learned behaviour and beliefs have on common daily experiences of hunger was investigated. These results were used to develop a novel measure assessing attitudinal variations toward hunger and fullness sensations in the UK population.
Shyanne is a member of our Applied Social Change research hub which forms part of our ARU Centre for Societies and Groups.
