Aggregate ratings of three questions from thirty-five young adults (N = 35; 9 male) for 72 food-brand product combinations. The questions for each product were: 1) On a scale ranging from 1-10, how healthy do you think this product is? 2) On a scale ranging from low-high calorie, how caloric is this product? and 3) On a scale ranging from $0-$20, how much does this product cost? ANOVA results computed using a 2x3 repeated measures ANOVA with food type and brand type as factors for each outcome (healthfulness, caloric content, and price). For all relationships tested, a Bonferroni corrected p-value ≤ 0.05 was used to determine significance. INT= interaction.
