Appetite, 133, 286-296. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.appet.2018.11.013

Increasing the proportion of healthier foods available could encourage healthier consumption, but evidence to date is limited in scope and quality. The current study aimed to: (a) examine the feasibility and acceptability of intervening to change pro...

Impact of reducing portion sizes in worksite cafeterias: a stepped wedge randomised controlled pilot trial (2018)
Journal Article
Hollands, G., Cartwright, E., Pilling, M., Pechey, R., Vasiljevic, M., Jebb, S., & Marteau, T. (2018). Impact of reducing portion sizes in worksite cafeterias: a stepped wedge randomised controlled pilot trial. International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 15, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12966-018-0705-1

Background: Reducing the portion sizes of foods available in restaurants and cafeterias is one promising approach to reducing energy intake, but there is little evidence of its impact from randomised studies in field settings. This study aims to i. e... Read More about Impact of reducing portion sizes in worksite cafeterias: a stepped wedge randomised controlled pilot trial.

Impact of lower strength alcohol labeling on consumption: A randomized controlled trial (2018)
Journal Article
Vasiljevic, M., Couturier, D., Frings, D., Moss, A., Albery, I., & Marteau, T. (2018). Impact of lower strength alcohol labeling on consumption: A randomized controlled trial. Health Psychology, 37(7), 658-667. https://doi.org/10.1037/hea0000622

Objective: Labels indicating low/light versions of tobacco and foods are perceived as less harmful, which may encourage people to consume more. There is an absence of evidence concerning the impact on consumption of labeling alcohol products as lower...

E-cigarette adverts and children's perceptions of tobacco smoking harms: an experimental study and meta-analysis (2018)
Journal Article

Objectives: Children exposed to electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) adverts may perceive occasional tobacco smoking as less harmful than children not exposed to e-cigarette adverts. Given the potential cross-cueing effects of e-cigarette adverts on to...

Taming the lion: How perceived worth buffers the detrimental influence of power on aggression and conflict (2018)
Journal Article
Weick, M., Vasiljevic, M., & Sedikides, C. (2018). Taming the lion: How perceived worth buffers the detrimental influence of power on aggression and conflict. Frontiers in Psychology, 9, Article 858. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00858

Contrary to conventional wisdom, there is little empirical evidence that elevated power, by default, fuels conflict and aggression. Instead, previous studies have shown that extraneous factors that decrease powerholders’ perceived worth, making power...
