Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unit bias refers to the tendency to consume a fixed unit of food or drink as a serving, regardless of its actual size or energy content. Choosing to consume more popcorn from a large bucket relative to a smaller one suggests unit bias because the individual consumes more just because the bucket is larger, despite not being hungry. Options A, B, and D do not demonstrate a fixed unit of consumption or serving size.
