For a group of adults over 50 years of age, what will most accurately predict their behavior in the next 7 days? A team of researchers measured the amount of fruits and vegetables their participants ate and the amount of exercise they completed. What was the most powerful predictor? Their dieting and exercise habits, their degree of self-motivated perspective, or their intention of what they will do next? Mullan and colleague (2021) present their research on the power of triaging our healthy decisions.
