Aims, contents and method of the course

This lecture aims at understanding nutritional psychology as a science of eating and drinking in everyday life. Participants get an overview of goals and areas of nutritional psychology, they understand the different research approaches and know the principles of methods and techniques.
Biological and non-biological approaches will be described and discussed. Central topics are hunger and satiation, regulation theories, sensory, genetical and situational factors influencing food choice. How perception, experience and behavior are influenced and manipulated in gastronomy and supermarkets will be discussed. Another topics are the foundations of hedonic experience between pleasure and disgust and how preferences and aversions develop. Examples come from food taboos, strange food and food of subcultures.
