Abstract
This study utilized a 2(Environment: Lab, Lounge) x 2(Portion Size: Standard, Large) mixed-design factorial analysis of variance to examine the effect of environment and portion size and energy intake. Participants attended two sessions: one in a lab and one in a lounge. During both sessions, participants were provided with either a standard (100g) or large (200g) portion of popcorn. The data analyses were non-significant. There was no main effect of environment on energy intake and no main effect of portion size on energy intake. In addition, there was no interaction between environment and portion size on energy intake.
