The impact of a picture book narrative upon liking and consumption of health foods
Briefing Sheet
This study investigates how a picture book narrative will impact upon children’s liking and consumption of health foods. Specifically it focuses on the use of a narrative and cartoon characters to depict a health benefit of eating a healthy food item (carrot or sweetcorn) impacts upon how the child perceives the health food and in turn whether this increases consumption. This research is important because as is well known a large proportion of our youth struggle with weight issues and other related lifestyle problems.
Taking part in this study therefore involves being read a picture book story and filling out two rating scales lasting approximately a quarter of an hour. While children are completing the second rating scale, they will also be free to consume both carrots and sweetcorn if they wish.
Likert scale will be as follows:
How much do you like carrots?
