What the catalog contains
The catalog organizes 54 mechanisms into eight practical families:
- Framing and choice architecture
- Attention and perception
- Learning, familiarity, and memory
- Reward, time, and motivation
- Social belonging and authority
- Identity, judgment, and body meaning
- Food environment and consumption cues
- Evidence, risk, and outcomes
Every entry includes a plain-language definition, a food example, a body-image example, the way a system may leverage the mechanism, an evidence boundary, a dismantling prompt, and a source key.
This is not a list of personal defects
Biases are not proof that people are irrational, weak, or incapable of choice. They are ordinary shortcuts and learned responses operating under real conditions. The catalog helps you create a pause, restore missing context, and locate responsibility more accurately.
It also distinguishes among cognitive biases, behavioral effects, psychological processes, cognitive distortions, and industry tactics. That distinction matters. Not every influence on a decision is a cognitive bias, and demonstrating an effect does not prove that every company using a similar design intended manipulation.
Use it to
Examine a claim
Identify the framing, authority cues, omissions, comparisons, and emotional pressure inside a food or wellness message.
Question a body verdict
Trace how comparison, stigma, inherited ideals, and attribution errors shape what a body is made to mean.
Teach and discuss
Use the catalog in courses, clinical conversations, videos, workshops, and personal reflection.
