Brief Summary:
The goal of this experiment is to examine the effects on explicit weight bias of a selection task using 4 different types of front-of-package food labels to select healthy or unhealthy foods among a sample of Latine and low English proficiency adults The main questions this experiment aims to answer are
Does the use of different front-of-package label designs in a selection task lead to different effects on explicit weight bias among Latine and low English proficiency consumers
Does the use of different front-of-package label designs in a selection task lead to different effects on attribution of personal responsibility for body weight among Latine and low English proficiency consumers
Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 types of front-of-package label designs They will view 3 sets of products frozen meals frozen pizzas and frozen desserts shown in random order For each product set participants will view 3 products shown in random arrangement each with participants randomly assigned label shown on the front of package After viewing all 3 product types participants will answer questions about explicit weight bias and attribution of responsibility for body weight Researchers will compare results across label designs

Detailed Description:
This study aims to determine if the use of different front-of-package label types in a selection task leads to different effects on explicit weight bias and attribution of responsibility for body weight among Latine and low English proficiency LEP consumers A Latine-focused panel company will recruit 4000 US Latine adults of parental age 18-55 years approximately 50 of whom will have low English proficiency LEP In a between-subjects experiment researchers will randomize participants to 1 of 4 types of front-of-package labels a numerical label an interpretive text-only label an interpretive label with a magnifying glass icon or separated interpretive labels with a magnifying glass icon Participants will first perform a selection task for a parent study in which they will view their assigned label on 3 sets of products with 3 products per set and select the product they believe is most and least healthy and the product they most want to purchase After this selection task participants will answer questions measuring this studys outcomes explicit weight bias primary outcome and attribution of personal responsibility of body weight secondary outcome
