Lifestyle
Lifestyle, which is not merely an individual choice, but results from the interaction between people and their social and physical environment. Perceived expectations, vicarious learning, norms and values partially guide individual choices.

This research theme covers the construction of the social, built and natural environment which facilitate or inhibit the choices that are made.
