Why am I hungry? Role of energy balance and socio-psychological beliefs around hunger.
Dr Daragh McDermott
Dr Suzanna Forwood
Dr Jane Aspell
Shyanne is a member of our Societies Research Area which forms part of our ARU Centre for Societies and Groups.
Shyanne’s PhD work focuses on examining the conflict between the concept of hunger as a regulatory energy balancing process and the more multi-dimensional view of hunger resulting from a range of socio-psychological learned behaviours and experiences. The impact of learned behaviour on individuals sharing common socio-psychological beliefs will be explored and measured by their attitudes and behaviours around their experience of hunger.
