Poster Session V

Keyword: Eating

Abstract: This study analyzed the relationship between food depiction and the language on the corresponding pages in children’s books. Out of 50 books, 725 pages were analyzed with an alpha level of a = .05. As page healthiness increases, emotionality and first-person singular pronouns also increase, while positive sentiment decreases.
