Mindful paths to food waste reduction: exploring the associations between gratitude, mindful eating behavior, and motivations for food waste avoidance.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Past research has emphasised the potential of gratitude in reducing food waste by prompting behavioral changes. A critical question, however, remains: can individuals experience gratitude without being attentive to the food they consume, and what are the implications for food waste? The present study investigated how gratitude influences motivations for food waste avoidance, and examined the moderating role of mindful eating as an agent of attentiveness. One hundred and sixty-nine UK adults completed self-report measures on mindful eating behavior, gratitude and food avoidance motives, and the results showed positive correlations between gratitude and moral and financial motivations to avoid food waste, as well as between mindful eating behavior and all motivations to avoid food waste. A moderation analysis showed that overall mindful eating behavior did not significantly moderate the relationship between gratitude and motivations to avoid food waste. Findings highlight the important associations between psychological and behavioral resources (i.e., gratitude and mindful eating) and the formation of motivations related to sustainable food practices. Implications for future research are discussed.
