27

Results

No cross-modal phenomena were identified in manifest attitudes, and no correlation with d-scores was found. No significant difference in WTP was observed between the round and square packages. The evaluation of latent attitudes revealed that subjects commonly made the intuitive association that round = sweet and square = sour.

Baseline Characteristics

This experiment was conducted in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki (World Medical Association) and the Ethical Guidelines for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects (MEXT, MHLW, METI) .
Subjects were 27 healthy female students in the first through fourth grades of the Department of Health and Nutrition at Niigata University of Health and Welfare who consented to participate in the study. Subjects were informed in writing and orally about the purpose, methods, uses of results, benefits and disadvantages, protection of personal information, and voluntary nature of research cooperation and freedom of withdrawal, and their written consent was obtained in advance.
 Since it was necessary to conceal the original purpose of this study from the subjects, a cover story was used to request their cooperation in product development and as a survey of their preferences.

Participant flow

Subjects were asked to come to the room in a fasting state for 2 hours. Initially, subjects were asked to answer a basic survey about their hunger and physical condition using a questionnaire.

A preference survey was conducted by offering 60 g of lemon jelly in a round or square package, and subjects were asked to respond to the sweetness, acidity, liking, and whether they would like to eat it again using the 100 mm VAS method. The participants were then asked to indicate how much they would be willing to pay for a 120 g package of the jellies, assuming that they were sold in supermarkets. This process was repeated with a different package. The choice of which package was offered first was random.

The number of stimuli and the number of trials in this study followed the study by Fiszman et al. Subjects were instructed to keep their eyes on the center of the screen and to respond to the target stimulus as quickly and accurately as possible. In each block of trials, two stimuli (either one image and one word) were assigned to the left or right response key, and the other two stimuli were assigned to the other response key. Subjects responded by pressing one of two (E or I ) keys on the computer keyboard. Visual stimuli were displayed for 20 seconds or until a response was recorded. At the end of each trial, the system was set up to give feedback "X" if the subject's response was incorrect. If the response was incorrect, the subject was told in advance to press the correct key immediately. 5 repetitions occurred per image or word, for a total of 80 trials to obtain a d-score. In addition, 20 trials of one repetition were performed immediately before the beginning to help subjects memorize the flow of the IAT.

After answering the basic survey, which of the IAT and VAS methods was administered first was randomized to prevent bias. These experimental procedures were performed on the same day without any interval.

Adverse events

Free will is respected when explaining the study and obtaining consent; IAT involves continuous and monotonous movements, which may cause mental and physical strain. There is also a risk of COVID-19 infection due to the feeding. The duration of the restraint is approximately 20 minutes.

Outcome measures

d Score
100 mmVAS (sweet and sour, liking, would you eat it again)
Willingness to Pay
