Shoji Ohtomo presented a longitudinal survey study finding that positive urgency was associated with mindless snacking. Low perseverance and high sensation seeking were associated with repeated hedonic snacking, while those with high premeditation tend to maintain the status quo.

Jakob Hedin presented a study of within and between group variation in habit for doing PA. Found that there was variation, but variation in habit wasn’t a predictor of PA frequency - only intention variation was. The work showed the importance of studying within-person fluctuations in habit.
