Do both anticipated relief and anticipated regret predict decisions about influenza vaccination?
CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that, regardless of valence, counterfactual emotions predict vaccination intention and, indirectly, behaviour. Furthermore, participants may differ in their sensitivity to the anticipation of positive versus negative counterfactual emotions. These findings may permit more precise targeting of interventions to increase vaccine uptake.PMID:37722923 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12691 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)

Can smartphone-based response inhibition training elicit sustained changes in appetite, preference, and cravings for energy-dense foods? A free-living randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Although significant reductions in reward-related appetite were observed, free-living response inhibition training did not offer additional benefit over a control activity. Future intervention studies with observable food intake are needed to investigate which appetitive mechanisms most reliably predict eating behaviour over time.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Retrospectively registered with ANZCTR [ACTRN12622001502729].PMID:37704590 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12693 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)
