Abstract

This study investigated whether sequential effects influence the affective appraisal of food images. Participants from 16 countries (N=1278) viewed a sequence of 60 food images and rated their valence and arousal. Results showed positive serial dependence for both measures, with arousal depending on up to three previous trials and valence on the immediately preceding trial, exhibiting negative dependence up to four trials back. These effects were larger for males than females, independent of BMI, age, and culture. The findings are relevant for food delivery service websites and restaurant menu design.
