This paper sought to understand some of the psychological processes which govern fruit and vegetable consumption in Australian truck drivers. Importantly, this research found that past behaviour had an important effect on many of the relationships found in the integrated model. This has demonstrated that further research needs to be conducted to understand how our past or habitual behaviour effects other conscious decision making processes.
