eating behaviors

Background The Institut Lyfe Research Center is dedicated to the study of the various factors (social, economic, cognitive and physiological) that underlie and influence human eating behavior. This internship is part of an interdisciplinary research project aimed at measuring the influence of gender stereotypes on food preferences. Recent research has shown that men consume significantly more meat, while women prefer vegetables (Stanley, Day, & Brown, 2023), behaviors influenced by gendered social norms rather than actual nutritional needs (European Commision, 2020, updated 2021).
