Abstract: The purpose of this study was to clarify the personality factors that determine the difference in perception of how the order of eating and the mechanisms by which these factors operate, focusing on the attitudes toward eating behavior of eating what you like first or leaving them behind. We tested the following hypotheses about comparisons of people who eat what they like first and people who eat what they like later- (1) Perfectionism scores of those who eat later will be higher than the corresponding scores of those who eat first, (2) Optimism scores of those who eat first will be higher than the corresponding scores of those who eat later. We found that the difference in attitude toward eating behavior between first and later are related to the difference in optimism and perfectionist tendencies against the background of habituation and automation of eating behavior patterns. Although attitudes toward eating behavior are experienced by all people, they have been habituated and automated by individuals independently.
