Abstract:
ObjectiveTo develop, with nurse specialists and nursing home care staff, a theory and evidence-informedpressure injury preventioncare bundle for use in nursing home settings.DesignThe development of a care bundle.MethodsWe undertook a detailed, multistaged and theoretically driven development process. First, we identified evidence-informed pressure injury prevention practices: these formed an initial set of possible target behaviours to be considered for inclusion in the bundle. During a 4-hour workshop and supplemental email consultation with a total of 13 healthcare workers, we agreed the key target behaviours for the care bundle. We explored with staff the barriers and facilitators to prevention activity and defined intervention functions and behaviour change practices using the Behaviour Change Wheel.SettingNorth West England.ResultsThe target behaviours consisted of three elements: support surfaces, skin inspection and repositioning. We identified capability, opportunity and reflective motivation as influencing the pressure injury prevention behaviours of nursing home care staff. The intervention functions (education, training, modelling) and behaviour change techniques (information about social and environmental consequences, information on health consequences, feedback on behaviour, feedback on the outcome of behaviour, prompts/cues, instruction on how to perform the behaviour, demonstration of behaviour) were incorporated into the care bundle.ConclusionThis is the first description of a pressure injury prevention care bundle for nursing homes developed using the Behaviour Change Wheel. Key stakeholders identified and prioritised the appropriate target behaviours to aid pressure injury prevention in a nursing home setting.

Abstract:
Technology acceptance in private spaces has not received much attention, although users' behaviour may be different due to the space in which usage takes place. To address this gap, the present study proposed a model exploring individuals' values, users' perception of technology performance and attitudinal beliefs in relation to use behaviour and satisfaction when using smart technologies in their homes. The study employed a sample of 422 participants in the USA. Structural equation modelling was utilised to test the proposed hypotheses. The model provided robust results explaining factors underpinning the use of pervasive technology in private settings. Specifically, the study showed that hedonic and utilitarian beliefs are critical for the perception of task fit, whereas privacy and financial factors were found to be not significant. The fit between tasks and technology demonstrated a significant role in predicting perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, use behaviour, and satisfaction. Lastly, use behaviour showed a positive correlation with satisfaction.

Abstract:
Laboratory animals often develop abnormal repetitive (stereotypic) behaviour that can influence both physiology and behavioural test results. Such abnormal behaviours usually develop in suboptimal environment and increase over time. To explore the development of stereotypic forms of activity night home-cage behaviour of laboratory mice was analysed and collated with the behaviour in open field (OFT), hole-board (HBT) and tail suspension (TST) tests twice within 16 weeks. Mice expressed few stereotypies and their duration lessened over time from median 8.2 to 1.0 %. In contrast, grooming behaviour increased significantly from 29.5 to 49.6 %. Home-cage grooming correlated with the latency of locomotion start in OFT and with the immobility time in TST. Intensity and stability of stereotypic activity and grooming inf­luenced the duration of grooming in OFT: the mice with unstable stereotypies groomed more than others, and mice with the lowes home-cage grooming level also groomed in OFT the most. Intensity and stability of night grooming influenced the behaviour in TST: the mice with unstable level of grooming were the most mobile in this test. Abnormal home-cage activity may indicate impaired welfare, and that, in turn, may affect test activity, so researchers need to keep it in mind when planning animal behaviour experiments.

Abstract:
The paper analyses results of an inquiry performed in the Czech Republic on the turn of 2005/2006. The objective was to discover how households buy foodstuffs, clothing, shoes, and home appliances and which factors influence this behaviour. The obtained results showed that quality was the most important factor when buying foodstuffs and home appliances. When buying clothing and shoes, above all the product properties (i.e. de facto also its quality) were preferred. Price was mentioned less frequently as a factor influencing the buying behaviour. Although it was not mentioned as a priority, there were also some differences, which depended mainly on the incomes of individual households. In contrast to foodstuffs, which were preferably purchased in discount shops, supermarkets, hypermarkets, and shopping centres, clothes, shoes and home appliances were purchased mostly in specialised outlets. As the purchase of home appliances is more complicated, the majority (85%) of customers looked for information in different sources of data, especially in different catalogues.

Abstract:
The effects of a token program implemented in the home by a teacher were examined. The effects of a home token program were evaluated using a multiple baseline design across reading, spelling and handwriting lessons while disruptive behaviour was recorded. The results indicated that inappropriate behaviours decreased when the token program was implemented. Follow-up data indicated some increase in inappropriate behaviours. Spelling performance was higher in the student's classroom during the token program in the home than during baseline. This indicated some generalisation from the home token program to academic responding in the classroom.

Abstract:
In shelters, it is usual to conduct a standardised behaviour assessment to identify adoption suitability. The information gathered from the assessment is used to identify the behaviour of the dogs, its suitability for adoption and to match the dog with an ideal home environment. However, numerous studies have demonstrated a lack of predictability in terms of the post-adoption behaviour in these assessments. We investigated if the owners’ perception of dogs’ behaviour in the home was reflected in the RSPCA Queensland behaviour assessment, conducted on the same dogs during a visit to the shelter. A total of 107 owners and their dogs aged 1–10 years were assessed in-home and in the shelter. The owners of the dogs completed a questionnaire (the Canine Behavioural Assessment and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) survey) 1–2 weeks before bringing their dog to the shelter for the standardised behavioural assessment conducted at the RSPCA Queensland. An ordinal logistic regression analysis identified positive correlations for fear, arousal, friendliness and anxiousness, identified in in-home behaviour and the behaviour assessment. Furthermore, the behaviours of friendliness, fearfulness, arousal, anxiousness, and aggression were positively predictive between home behaviour and tests in the behaviour assessment. This research therefore led to a greater understanding of current canine behaviour assessment protocols used at the RSPCA Queensland in regard to the predictability of behaviour, behavioural problems and the efficiency, effectiveness and predictability of current behaviour testing procedures.

Abstract:
Abstract This article studies investors’ expectations and investment decisions in regional stock exchanges in Germany from 1898 to 1934. Investments in stocks are particularly interesting, because research has identified a gap between model predictions of individual investment behaviour and actual investment behaviour. So far there is little information about individual investors or their characteristics in historical periods. To improve the interpretation of investors’ stock market behaviour, I look at investment behaviour and influences on that behaviour over time. I examine data on investors’ characteristics to understand local investment biases using data from regional stock exchanges in Germany from 1898-1934. The statistical analysis first indicates that local investment was clearly important during this period. Then, challenging these findings and analysing different sub-samples, it is suggested that investors’ home bias is potentially overestimated. Previous studies, which found evidence of local investment biases in Germany have presumably overestimated this effect.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite the increasing attention being paid to waste recycling, there is a dearth of both empirical evidence on recycling at work and examination of any spillover effects of recycling behaviour from home to work. Situated at the confluence of three social science debates (the study of recycling set within the waste management literature; the examination of spillover in the social psychology literature, and the work on pro-environmental behaviour at work in the organisational behaviour literature), this research seeks to understand recycling at work and the relationship between recycling behaviour at home and recycling at work using a sequential mixed methods approach. Due to the complexity of human behaviours including the heterogeneity of the factors underpinning recycling, this research adopts a sequential mixed methods approach with its pragmatic philosophical assumptions to examine recycling at work. Initially, semi-structured interviews with 15 key informants from different organisations including environmental/waste organisations in the UK were conducted. The findings from the interviews were used along with the evidence from the literature to develop the conceptual model and the research hypotheses. The quantitative data were collected, using a web-based questionnaire survey, from 367 respondents representing 43 different organisations across the UK. The collected quantitative data were analysed using SPSS for windows and IBM AMOS for path and causal analyses. Based on the findings, this research demonstrates that contextual factors such as organisational support are better determinants of recycling at work than personality/psychological factors such as attitudes that have dominated empirical and theoretical studies on pro-environmental behaviours for decades. Also, the findings of this research suggest that the concept of spillover of recycling from home to work is complex and inconsistent. Whilst there is a tendency for spillover of recycling behaviour, there is a significant difference between recycling at home and at work with regards to the volume of materials, the range of materials, and frequency of recycling. Nonetheless, the PROCESS macro allows the identification of various conditions that are likely to facilitate spillover of recycling from home to work. As a result, factors that are likely to determine recycling at work including the possible spillover of recycling from home to work are classified into personal/psychological and situational factors. These findings contribute to the existing bodies of knowledge on recycling behaviour, spillover effects, and organisational citizenship behaviour for the environment (OCBE). Also, the findings could assist businesses in finding proactive measures to increase recycling within their organisations. This would consequently reduce the total amount of resources being disposed of in the UK landfill sites.

Abstract:
A number of studies have shown that adults living in group homes spend less time with their families. One barrier to increasing time spent with families may be that a large proportion of adults living in group homes display elevated levels of problem behaviour. Furthermore, group home staff and families may not have sufficient training to prevent problem behaviour in group home or family home settings. This study evaluates an approach that synthesizes three promising practices in the field of developmental disabilities: person-centred planning, trans-situational positive behaviour support (PBS), and the activity setting as a unit of analysis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of this approach to the generalized reduction of problem behaviour for an adult with autism from a group home setting to a family home setting. One adult with autism and problem behaviour, the group home staff who supported him, and his parents participated in the study. Two settings were identified for trans-situational intervention: a group home post-dinner routine; and a family home pre-dinner routine. In collaboration with group home staff a functional assessment-based, multi-component trans-situational PBS plan (TSI) was designed for the group home routine. In addition a brief trans-situational PBS plan (tsi) for the family home was generated. A preliminary cultural fit evaluation by primary staff indicated that the plan was a good fit with group home ecology. Completion of baseline and intervention phases will occur by June 2014. Preliminary results are discussed in terms of relation to the literature, implications, cautions and limitations, and directions for future research.

Abstract:
This thesis proposed that theory on human territoriality, particularly the work of Irwin Altman and colleagues, can contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between people and their car. The car has often been labelled a territory, analogous to the home, which plays a significant role in the lives of individuals in motorised societies. A review of the existing literature on both territoriality and driver behaviour suggested that the car conforms to the defining features of a territory, being an important and enduring object that many drivers decorate with personal items and that they protect against invasion by other road users. Despite this literature, there is little empirical research to support the idea that the car is an imp011ant human territory. Using the methodological framework of transactional psychology, this thesis reported on three studies that utilised an array of self-rep01t techniques to answer research questions on the relationship between territoriality and driver behaviour. The research questions enquired as to whether drivers perceive the car and the surrounding road space as territory, whether they see the driving environment as defined in territo1ial terms, and whether these features influence behaviour on the road. In the first study, 13 focus groups were conducted to determine whether drivers' descriptions of the relationship with their car conformed to existing descriptions of territory. Specific interest was taken in whether the car conformed to Brown and Altman's (1981) descriptions of primary (e.g., home), secondary (e.g., workplace) or public (e.g., park) territory. Focus group questions reflected the territorial features of duration, centrality, marking range, marking intention, and response to invasion. Analysis revealed that the car can be considered a territory, with descriptions of the car closely matching Brown and Altman's descriptions of territory types. However, exactly what type of territory the car was depended on the individual. For instance, young drivers were more likely to perceive the car as aligned with notions of primary territory, while drivers of work vehicles were more likely to describe the car as a secondary or even public territory. Fm1her, dimensional variations were present within d1iver groups and within individuals, such that the broad application of the label 'primary', 'secondary' or 'public' territory to desc1ibe the car was not appropriate. As such, it was noted that territorial researchers should determine the nature of a person's relationship with a particu1ar place/object p1ior to making assumptions about what type of territory it is. Study Two examined the constructs (i.e., descriptors) that drivers use to interpret driving situations, hypothesising that they would correspond to territorial themes such as privacy, safety and control. Phase One of the study generated a representative list of 20 common driving situations, through the use of a travel diary, for subsequent use in a repertory grid task. In Phase Two, 101 drivers completed a repertory grid in which they compared the 20 situations on a se1ies of self-generated constructs. Generalised Procrustes analysis of the grids revealed two major dimensions that drivers use to interpret their driving environment, representing the constructs of safety, control, anger, stress and enjoyment. With few exceptions, these constructs were consistently applied by all drivers and across all driving situations. Safety and control are both linked to aspects of human territoriality. Control was also notable for representing both control over whether a situation is entered into, and control over what occurs once in the situation. Although anger, stress and enjoyment are not key territorial themes, this may reflect the comparatively deficient coverage of emotion in territorial literature. In Study Three, the survey responses of 403 drivers were used to test three hypotheses. First, principal components analysis of the relationship with the car revealed that the major themes characterising this association were linked to the dimensions of territoriality desc1ibed by Brown and Altman (1981). In addition, the degree to which each theme was experienced varied as a function of driver age and car ownership, a feature also noted in the focus group study. Second, the majority of drivers were able to nominate a part of the road-space surrounding the car that they saw as part of their territory. The size of this space varied as a function of the driver and the type of car driven. Third, mixed results were found for the effect of territoriality on self-reported aggressive and prosocial driving. Although viewing the car as a defendable space predicted aggressive behaviours, and believing that the car provides autonomy predicted prosocial driving in some situations, other variables directly related to territory were non-significant. As was found in Study Two, the emotional states of enjoyment and anger also played a role in predicting response to the behaviour of others. Together, these studies suggested that the car is a territory, for some drivers analogous to a primary territory such as the home. The manner in which the car, the surrounding road-space, and the driving environment are considered territorial has implications for understanding road user behaviour, including the topics of aggressive and prosocial driving, conformity with road rules, and travel demand management. As such, the findings of this research have potential application in the development of strategies to improve dri ver behaviour, specifically in relation to aggressive and prosocial driving. In addition, the research conducted in this thesis has implications for the further development of theory on human territoriality. Primarily this relates to further elucidating the role of control in territoriality, especially as it differentiates between primary, secondary and public territories. Territoriality theory would also benefit from a more comprehensive understanding of the role that emotion plays in territoriality. Given the exploratory nature of this research, further work is also required to further understand the links between territoriality and driver behaviour.

Abstract:
In order to improve public health, active measures are taken to lower the salt (sodium chloride) consumption of the population. However, significant effort is required to reduce salt content in processed foods without adversely affecting taste, flavour and consumer preference. This research aimed at investigating how the saltiness efficiency of sodium chloride could be improved. The first approach investigated the relationship between rheology and taste perception to evaluate whether it is possible to enhance saltiness perception through careful design of product rheology. The objective was to identify the flow parameters correlating to saltiness perception. The shear rate relevant to saltiness perception was investigated using a range of typical solution flow behaviour (Newtonian, shear-thinning, yield behaviour). It was found that saltiness perception is related to viscosity measured at low shear (1-10 s-1) and not to zero shear or high shear viscosity. An enhancement of saltiness perception was found for very high polymer concentrations, which could be explained by the increased osmolality of these solutions. Subsequently, food grade Boger fluids (Newtonian fluids of high elasticity) were formulated and characterised to investigate whether extensional viscosity impacts saltiness perception. As no clear effect was reported, hypothesised to be due to the unfavourable mouthfeel of the relatively thick fluids, an alternative approach using low viscosity polysaccharide solutions of identical shear behaviour but of different extensional behaviour was taken. Extensional behaviour of polysaccharide solutions in large deformation flow has received very little attention compared to shear flow behaviour and was characterised here using the techniques of filament break-up and microfluidics as preliminary work for future sensory studies. Large differences in elasticity among polysaccharides and singularities of polysaccharides compared to synthetic polymers were found. As a second approach it was investigated whether duplex emulsions could be stabilised by chemical cross-linking of proteins adsorbed at the oil-water interface. The interest in duplex emulsions is based on the hypothesis that increase in the salt concentration in the continuous product phase of an emulsion-based food may increase saltiness perception. Formulation of stable food duplex emulsions is challenging and here it was shown that chemical cross-linking of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) adsorbed at the oil-water interface improved stability towards coalescence and emptying out of the internal water phase. The interface of single oil-in-water emulsions was also successfully cross-linked. Both the industrial impact and fundamental interest of this research were discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis examines the ability of animals to construct a home base. The home base is a point in space where animals rear, groom, and circle and is a primary element in organized spatial behaviour (Eilam and Golani 1989). Once animals establish a home base, they make outward trips and stops, and after a series of trips and stops they return again to the home base. The home base behaviour of animals acts as a platform for asking questions about the cognitive organization of an environment. The thesis describes five main findings. Control and hippocampectomized animals use (1) proximal and (2) distal cues to form a home base and organize their behaviour. (3) Control and olfactory bulbectomized animals form home bases in the dark where as hippocampectomized animals are impaired suggesting self-movement but not olfactory cues play a role in home base behaviour. A final set of experiments demonstrated that control and hippocampectomized animals learn the position of (4) proximal and (5) distal cues so that in the cue's absence, animals still form a home base at that position. The demonstration that a central feature of exploratory behaviour, establishing a home base, is preserved in hippocampectomized rats in relation to proximal, distal, and conditioned visual cues - reveals that exploratory behaviour remains organized after hippocampal lesions. The inability of hippocampectomized rats to form a virtual home base in the absence of visual cues is discussed in relation to the idea that the hippocampus contributes to inertial behaviour that may be dependent upon self-movement cues.

Abstract:
This research examines intermediate patterns of joint consumption whereby constellations, anti constellations and configurations are seen as representing patterns of consumption which lie between the traditional micro (product-centred) and macro (societal-centred) studies of consumption. A series of models are developed: of the relationship between individuals and consumption from a social psychological perspective of the formation of patterns of joint consumption and of the three forces which influence patterns of consumption: the symbolic-functional force (located in the product) the physiological-esteem-self-actualization force (located in individual needs) and the expressive-instrumental force (located in activities or behaviour). A two stage empirical study explores the content, structure and context of consumption patterns amongst mail order shoppers in the U.K. The quantitative stage involved the application of correspondence analysis to data extracted from the BMRBffGI database and the qualitative phase was a series of in-depth interviews with mail order industry marketing personnel. The findings confirmed the existence of three identifiable groups amongst mail order shoppers, with different intermediate patterns of joint consumption representing different sets of responses to the three forces which influence consumption and which had been modelled above. The research extends work on the grammar of consumption by developing a set of rules of combination for analyzing the structure and levels of joint consumption: constellations, anti constellations and configurations, which could be associated with the groups of mail order shoppers. The study concludes that products cohere around social roles and that interdependence exists at two levels, firstly, amongst the forces which influence consumption, and secondly, between consumption and the societal-cultural context. It was seen that functional and symbolic complementarities could be found in the intermediate patterns of joint consumption and that different combinatorial rules could be applied to the different levels of consumption patterns elicited for the various groups.

Full text
Abstract:
In recent years, seabird tracking studies have become ever more popular as a means of informing and evaluating the effectiveness of marine protected areas and offshore energy developments as well as in understanding the ecology and behaviour of seabirds. This study uses tracking data collected from the European shag, Black-legged kittiwake, Northern gannet and Brown booby to identify important foraging areas around four seabird colonies located in the UK, Channel Islands and Anguilla and examines the impact of offshore renewable energy developments in the Channel Islands. As well as providing examples of how seabird tracking data can be useful in informing marine spatial planning, this study also considers the impact that sample size and the sample composition may have on the foraging areas predicted for any colony. Small sample sizes are a common feature of tracking studies, often due to logistical and financial constraints, meaning that seabirds are often tracked over short spatial and temporal scales which may not fully represent the important foraging areas and behaviours of the colony or individual. This study therefore provides recommendations to improve the predictions of area use and foraging strategy for future tracking studies to ensure the most representative and useful data is collected and used to inform marine spatial planning issues.

Chiang, Teresa. "Investigating the influence of in-home display design on energy-consumption behaviour." Thesis, University of Bath, 2015. https://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.655723.

Full text
Abstract:
Research on interventions aimed to promote energy savings has shown support for direct feedback using in-home displays (IHDs) to reduce energy consumption. These displays are electronic devices that provide real-time energy information and are emerging as an effective tool to communicate with people about their energy consumption. How feedback is presented to people and how they understand the meaning of such feedback largely depends on the design of the display, yet there are relatively few studies that investigate the way in which the display can best be designed to present energy information and motivate energy-saving behaviour. Further, even though there is a wide range of variations in the visual presentation of feedback, there is a lack of focus on the process of optimising the IHD design. This thesis aims to address the need for designing IHDs at the display component level, by examining three types of display design (numerical displays, analogue displays using speedometer dials, and ambient displays using emotional faces) in both laboratory-based computer-simulated experiments and field-based experiments: participants’ abilities to detect changes in energy information shown on the computer-simulated displays were measured by means of accuracy rate and response time, and their subjective preferences for display types were assessed against experimental data; live energy data were displayed using the three design types in a student residence at the University of Bath to see how they would influence energy-use behaviour. Results from the laboratory experiments demonstrated that both accuracy rate and response time for seeing changes in the information displayed were strongly associated with the type of display design. Participants preferred numerical display and were better at detecting changes in information with this display than with the other two. Conversely, the student residence experiments showed that when participants’ attention was divided in a household setting, there was no difference in energy consumption among experimental groups who received information from any of the three display types. However, these experimental groups used significantly less energy compared with control groups, who had no displays installed. It was concluded that 1) the mere presence of a display device could influence people’s behaviour, regardless of the type of display design, people’s preferences or the level of user engagement with the display, although there was a strong indication that the ambient design worked better than the other two designs at an arbitrary statistical significance level of 0.95, and 2) subjective preferences and computer-simulated studies are poor guides to the actual performance of IHDs in real-world settings. This work helps establish how IHDs can be designed and the influence that they may have on people’s energy-consumption behaviour. It also contributes to the literature of exploring people’s perceptibility of energy information. The method used is replicable and can be applied in similar studies on energy display design. Lastly, the improved understanding gained through this work will facilitate the development of effective smart meter display technology that may help people adopt conscious energy behaviour in the long term.

Abstract:
Behaviour disorders are common among nursing home residents and the management of these problems is difficult and emotionally taxing for caregivers. Although widespread acknowledgment of the problem exists amongst those caring for the elderly, there has, until recently, been little formal investigation of these disorders in any systematic degree. This study investigated 63 nursing home residents (22 males and 41 females) in two primary diagnostic categories; those with vascular dementia and those with dementia due to other causes, primarily Alzheimer's disease. A review of the literature suggested that the nature and frequency of disruptive behaviour differed across these two prevalent forms of dementia. The level of cognitive impairment for each resident was assessed using the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE). A two-week record of individual behaviours was recorded by nursing staff on a 24-hour shift basis, using the Cohen -Mansfield Agitation Index (CMAI). The results are generally consistent with earlier research demonstrating a negative correlation between cognitive impairment and aggression. However, no significant difference in behaviour was demonstrated between the two groups. Finally, a number of mediating variables is discussed in terms of their influence on the results.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter explores the diaspora of the Banat Swabian culture, their sense of identity in Germany, and their relation to 'Heimat tourism' through the perception of place in Timisoara in the region of the Banat, Romania. It enables understanding of the impacts of Heimat tourism and the implications for consumer behaviour in the visitor economy and also investigates place-making processes and the (re)creation of destination spaces through experience and narratives. This chapter aims to illustrate how cultural identity, tourist flow, and the perception of place contribute towards the making of heimat, to show how places that are both real and imagined at the same time reinforce a particular tourist gaze and examine how such tourist imaginaries create a 'Heimat tourism' that fosters a hermeneutic cycle perpetuating new meanings of self.

Abstract:
The paper describes a complex experimental research of tribological and mechanical properties of styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR) filled with carbon black. Tribological properties of SBR rubber material are investigated experimentally using a home made device of ball-on-disc type. The response of SBR in sliding friction depends on sliding speed and on the loading force. The rate-dependent behaviour of carbon-black filled rubber is investigated in tensile tests with different loading rates and in relaxation tests. The viscosity-induced rate-dependent effects are described. The storage and loss moduli and phase angle δ dependency on different amplitudes and frequencies are determined by strain controlled dynamical mechanical analysis. The temperature dependence of dynamic and tribological behaviour of SBR is also investigated.

Abstract:
This report presents findings drawn from qualitative remote ethnography research with 24 UK participants conducted during July and August 2021, plus nine peer-to-peer interviews conducted by main sample participants with their friends and family. This research aimed to build on existing evidence in this area to fill gaps and provide an up-to-date snapshot of UK public experiences. Areas of focus included: Motivations for dietary choices Any gaps between consumer intention and behaviour Trade-offs and contextual differences (e.g. in vs. out-of home behaviours) The roles of specialist diets, substitution approaches, alternatives and ‘imitations’, locally/UK sourced meat and dairy, socio-demographics, culture and family Impact and role of food labelling and terminology The sample represented a range of variables including age, gender, nationality (England, Wales, Northern Ireland), urbanity/rurality, lifestage and household composition - and dietary profile (carnivore, ‘cutting down,’ vegetarian, vegan). This report was informed by an evidence review by the University of Bath on the factors underpinning the consumption of meat and dairy among the general public.
