Providing Community-Centered Culinary Medicine-Based Patient Education

David Kolb, an educational theorist, is famous for his descriptions and framework known as Experiential Learning (Murphy, 2007). In this advanced learning technique, the learner is thrust into real-world settings, allowing for an in-depth understanding of the subject. This experience may be transferable to future, relevant experiences. This experiential learning was a critical piece often missing from my understanding and approach to nutrition education. As I came across the cooking class model through community partnerships with family-centered organizations (i.e., Common Threads, YMCA), I noticed a level of engagement and sustained buy-in from my families that I had not noticed in years of community programming. I became convinced that having children and adults in an actual kitchen preparing meals and practicing the new skills we were teaching them allowed them to truly develop a level of self-agency to change behavior and ideally impact their health (Jarpe-Ratner et al., 2016; Trubek et al., 2017).
Introduction to Part 1

In Chapter 7, Enav Or-Gordon describes her work with a recovery-oriented behavioral tool, developed and implemented in a closed psychiatric forensic ward in a state hospital in Prague, Czech Republic. The author demonstrates how work with this tool (a personalized notebook allocated to participating patients), promotes integration of the varied interventions on the ward into a unified structure and contributes to a cohesive course of therapy, enhancing patient’s self-agency and constructive involvement in shared hospitalization goals.

The IBM indicates the aforementioned constructs composing attitudes, perceived norms, and self-agency are all functions of underlying beliefs. For instance, experiential attitudes are a function of one’s feelings regarding the idea of engaging in a specific behavior. The more positively one feels about the behavior, the more likely a favorable emotional response will be elicited when thinking about engaging in it. However, it is important to note that the relative influence of the discussed variables is population- and behavior-dependent. Therefore, it is necessary to first determine the extent to which intention is influenced by attitudes, perceived norms, or self-agency.
Introduction to the Special Issue on Contemporary Research From the Guest Editor
Published in International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, 2019
Self-agency is the sense that some actions are self-generated. The feeling of involuntariness is intrinsic to the hypnotic experience. Rainville et al. (this issue, p. 512, 2019) investigated changes in brain activity measured using arterial spin labelling (ASL), a functional magnetic resonance imaging method that enables comparison of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) between states and between individuals. Based on previous literature suggesting a key role of the parietal operculum (PO) in an altered sense of self-agency observed during hypnosis, Blakemore and Frith (2003) reported an increase in perceived automaticity in neutral hypnosis (i.e., without any stimulus or behavioral task) positively correlated with rCBF changes in the PO, with additional associations in the anterior of the supracallosal cingulate cortex (aMCC). These areas are part of the executive network of the brain, underlying the experience of volition (Darby, Joutsa, Burke, & Fox, 2018). This suggests that both executive and monitoring processes are active in individuals reporting high levels of hypnotic automaticity but that their representation may be modified such that executive engagement is experienced with an altered sense of agency.
Hypnotic Automaticity in the Brain at Rest: An Arterial Spin Labelling Study

Increased activity in the PO has been previously reported during a typical motor challenge used to test hypnotizability (Blakemore et al., 2003). In this previous study, activation of the parietal cortex was associated with the attribution of a movement to an external cause, whether the movement was truly passive or produced actively in response to hypnotic suggestions and perceived as passive. This effect is consistent with the involvement of this region in perceived self-agency as shown in other experimental and clinical contexts (Blakemore & Frith, 2003). A more recent study further demonstrated that parietal activity (supramarginal g.: x = −48, y = −36, z = 30), at a location very close to the peak observed in the present study (see Table 2), is related to the awareness of involuntary actions (Deeley et al., 2013). The present results further demonstrate that activity in this area may also be associated with a feeling of automaticity denoting an altered sense of self-agency experienced at rest, in the absence of any overt behavioral response or challenge. This is discussed further in the next subsection.
Effortful Control and Interpersonal Behavior in Daily Life

At the between-person level, self-agency was negatively associated with self-communion (γ05 = −0.21, p = .011, 95% CI [−0.37, −0.05]), suggesting that participants who on average (across interactions) behaved more dominantly compared to others also tended to behave with less communal behavior than others. For self-affect, self-agency was positively associated with self-valence (γ06 = 0.52, p < .001, 95% CI [0.36, 0.68]) and self-activation (γ07 = 0.51, p < .001, 95% CI [0.41, 0.60]), indicating that participants who on average behaved more dominantly compared to others also felt more positive (valence) and activated compared to others. For interpersonal perceptions of the interaction partner, self-agency was positively associated with other agency (γ01 = 0.56, p < .001, 95% CI [0.45, 0.67]) and other communion (γ02 = 0.25, p = .005, 95% CI [0.07, 0.42]), indicating that participants who on average behaved more dominantly compared to others also tended to perceive others as more dominant and friendly. For perceptions of others' affect, self-agency was negatively associated with other valence (γ03 = −0.47, p < .001, 95% CI [−0.63, −0.30]) and other activation (γ04 = −0.34, p < .001, 95% CI [−0.46, −0.22]). Thus, participants who on average behaved more dominantly compared to others also tended to perceive others on average in these interactions as less positive (valence) and activated in their emotions. EC did not significantly moderate these between-person associations.
