We looked at whether there were differences by Socioeconomic Status (SES) in how much people liked fruit. We were interested in whether this might explain socioeconomic differences in self-reported fruit consumption.
Our results showed:
- no differences between SES found for self-reported liking of fruit, but that
- lower SES men had lower implicit liking of fruit (as measured by the Implicit Association Task)
