Dynamic Norms and Food Choice: Reflections on a Failure of Minority Norm Information to Influence Motivation to Reduce Meat Consumption

Alaa Aldoh et al.

Summary: Recent research in the US suggests that providing information on increasing minority norms may positively influence engagement in desired behaviors. However, a study conducted in the UK found that dynamic minority norm information did not have an effect on interest in reducing meat consumption. Factors such as political position and gender may be associated with meat consumption outcomes.
