Study: Don't make big decisions when you're hungry
Most people know that going grocery shopping on an empty stomach can only lead to heartache, when you realize you have nothing to show for your grocery run but potato chips and Ding Dongs. But according to a new study from the University of Dundee in the UK, makingkind of decision while hungry can lead to poorer choices for the long-term. And that might have serious consequences for people who are chronically hungry.
The team asked participants who were either satiated or hungry whether they would prefer food, money, or music now or a greater quantity in the future. And indeed they found that indeed being hungry bled over to other areas. For instance, the amount of time people were willing to wait for double the amount of food in the future was 35 days among satiated participants, but onlydays for hungry participants.
“We wanted to know whether being in a state of hunger had a specific effect on how you make decisions only relating to food or if it had broader effects, and this research suggests decision-making gets more present-focused when people are hungry,” said Vincent.
