téléwork and Consumer Behavior: Longitudinal Study

Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne1,500 enrolled

Overview

Alcohol and nutritional factors are among the leading causes of preventable cancer. Knowing that so many health problems could be avoided thanks to behavioral changes, the identification of the factors at the origin of these consumption behaviors constitutes major public health issues with a view to their prevention. If some of the determinants of these consumptions are well identified (e.g., socio-demographic, psychological, genetic factors), the role of context in the development of these behaviors is poorly known.

The main objective is to study how the characteristics of (tele)work at a given moment (and their temporal fluctuations) predict and explain changes in alcohol consumption and eating habits in the medium term

Alcohol consumption will be assessed using two questions regarding consumption over the past four weeks. The first question assesses the average frequency of alcohol consumption over the past four weeks, and the second question measures the average number of "standard drinks" consumed over the past four weeks.

Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ)

The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) was developed by Van Strien, Frijters, Jan, Bergers, and Defares (1986) to measure emotional, external, and restrained eating behaviors. The questionnaire consists of 33 items divided into three subscales: Restrained Eating (10 items) - Example: "Do you deliberately eat foods that are slimming?" Emotional Eating (13 items) - Example: "Do you have a desire to eat when someone upsets you?" External Eating (10 items) - Example: "Do you feel like eating when you pass by a café or snack bar?" Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Never, 5 = Very often). The 31st item is reverse-scored.
