Abstract

Exposure to environmental soft drink cues is a major contributor to soft drink consumption. This study investigated the effect of one such cue, television advertising, on soft drink choice and intake. We further examined whether effects would be stronger for individuals with an automatic tendency to reach for soft
drinks (approach bias) or a difficulty resisting soft drinks (poor inhibitory control). Participants (N=127; 18- 25 years) viewed television advertisements of soft drinks or other beverages.
