Most research on the determinants of protective health behaviors examines health
beliefs as the major motivating force. Authors hypothesize that concern with appearance
is also a motivating force in eating diets low in calories and cholesterol and high
in fruits and vegetables. Using a representative sample of 400 adults in Illinois
(collected in 1984), they find that both health beliefs and appearance concerns affect
eating habits. Health beliefs are modeled as an interaction between concern with
health and health locus of control, since it is expected that concern with health
has the largest impact on eating habits for persons who believe they have some control
over their health. This interaction term is significant. For the average person,
appearance is as large a motivating factor in eating habits as is concern with health.
The implications of this finding for the health of the population, especially women
are discussed.
