Dr. Grayson, a health psychologist, conducts a study examining whether people eat more when they are exposed to pictures of food than when they are not exposed to pictures of food. She goes to a fast-food restaurant in downtown Chicago that has pictures of menu items on its menu board and measures the amount of food ordered during the lunch rush (11:30a.m.-1:30 p.m.) on Tuesday. On Thursday, she does the same thing but at a fast-food restaurant that does not have pictures on its menu board (about two blocks away from the first restaurant). She finds that the restaurant with pictures of food sells more food than the restaurant that does not have pictures.
Dr) Grayson would most be able to generalize her findings to which of the following populations?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Grayson's study specifically examines the behavior of people who eat lunch at fast-food restaurants, so her findings would be most applicable to this population. The study does not examine whether people in Chicago or downtown Chicago eat more when exposed to pictures of food, nor does it examine the behavior of people who eat out at all types of restaurants.
