| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effectiveness of social media interactions with the use of dietary diaries on a smartphone app to motivate college students in Japan and Sweden for raising self-awareness of their eating habits.
Forty college students in Japan participated in the first study by creating dietary diaries online through a smartphone app and then followed/interacted with each other using social media for 7 consecutive days. Their interest and self evaluation for eating were significantly changed after joining this research project. All participants welcomed communication with fellow participants on social media and motivated each other.
The second survey was conducted with middle-aged and elderly local residents as the target group, the trends in eating habits interest points and eating habits self-evaluation scores were similar to those of university students, but it was clear that there were technical issues when using smartphone apps.
