DESIGN

So, how would you know if using larger dinner plates can make us gain weight? To study this question effectively in your role as researcher, you need to DESIGN an appropriate study that will lead to meaningful results, MEASURE a behavior that is linked to weight gain, and INTERPRET the larger meaning of your results, considering how your findings would apply to the population as a whole.

You have chosen Case Study as your design. In a Case Study design, researchers choose one person or a small group of people and then study them in depth. For example, researchers may want to gain a deeper understanding of the lives of highly influential businesspeople. To accomplish their research goal, the researchers may spend months or years conducting interviews, personality assessments, and other research activities with a small group of well-regarded businesspeople.

What could we learn from these participant choices?

A small group of people who eat at restaurants every night. This option does not tell you about your participants’ weight or the size of the dinner plates they use. To know whether using larger dinner plates make us fat, you would need to study a group of individuals who have average body weight. This way you can determine whether changing the size of the plates they use causes them to behave in ways that will increase their weight.

A small group of people who are obese. This option tells you about your participants’ weight but not about the size of the dinner plates they use. To know whether using larger dinner plates makes us fat, you would need to study a group of individuals who have average body weight (not just people who are obese), and then vary the size of the dinner plates they use to see if that causes them to increase their weight.

A small group of people who are thin. This option tells you about your participants’ weight but not about the size of the dinner plates they use. To know whether using larger dinner plates makes us fat, you would need to study a group of individuals who have average body weight (not just people who are thin), and then vary the size of the dinner plates they use to see if that causes them to increase their weight.

A small group of people who have average body weight. You were right to choose people who have average body weight, but this option doesn’t tell us about the size of the dinner plates they use. To know whether using larger dinner plates makes us fat, you would need to study a group of individuals who have average body weight, and then vary the size of the dinner plates they use to see if that causes them to increase their weight. Also, you would need to study a large group, not a small group as in this Case Study approach, in order to determine whether the idea of using larger dinner plates making us fat may apply to the larger population.

Trying to choose a sample of participants helps us realize that a CASE STUDY IS NOT THE BEST RESEARCH DESIGN to test this question.

You have chosen a Correlational design, which means you want to study the association between two or more variables. For example, when testing whether feeling competent is related to working hard, a researcher could measure people’s feelings of competence and how many hours they spend working. This would allow researchers to determine whether feelings of competence relate to being motivated to work hard. (They do. Feeling competent relates to increased motivation.)

With a Correlational design, we might examine the association between the size of dinner plates people use and how much food they eat. As a result, we would learn something about the relationship between dinner plate size and eating behavior. But we would not know whether using larger dinner plates causes us to eat more or less food. Other factors affect eating behavior, such as whether the plate is a nice or ugly color, whether people are typically restrained or unrestrained eaters, and whether your participants have just completed a hard workout. To know whether using larger dinner plates causes us to gain weight, we need to systematically change the size of the dinner plates people use and measure their eating behavior, while controlling for the influences of other variables.

So, CORRELATIONAL IS NOT THE BEST RESEARCH DESIGN for this study. We’d get more helpful results by using a different design.

Good job! You have correctly chosen to use an Experimental design, in which you will systematically change the size of dinner plates that people use. You also chose an appropriate sample of participants—a group of people who have average body weight. Now you need to determine how best to MEASURE the relevant behavior or mental process, which in this case is eating behavior.

Good job! You have correctly chosen to use an Experimental design, in which you will systematically change the size of dinner plates that people use. You chose an appropriate sample of participants—a group of people who have average body weight. You also chose how best to MEASURE the relevant behavior or mental process, which in this case is eating behavior. You selected the option, Measure how much food people eat when they can serve themselves.

Actual research has in fact shown that using larger dishware causes people to eat more food (Wansink, 2006). For example, giving children a large, compared with a small, cereal bowl caused them to eat a lot more breakfast cereal (Wansink et al., 2014). Even if you give people yucky food (in one study, researchers used stale popcorn), they eat more if they eat out of a larger dish (Wansink & Kim, 2005). It is as if our brains shut off and we eat until our plates—no matter their size—are empty.

Knowing this, you need to consider how you can apply what you’ve learned to the larger population—beyond the people you’ve studied. Consider where you might encounter roadblocks to confidence in your results. What factors might keep you from being able to apply what you’ve learned in a broader context?

You tested whether using larger dinner plates can make us gain weight by measuring eating behavior when people serve themselves food on plates of varying sizes. As a scientist, you want to have confidence in your results. Several factors could affect eating behavior, and they might not have any relation to the size of plate that people use. Just think of the many reasons why you eat. Do you eat more food at certain times of the day? When you are cramming for an exam, do you reach for an extra helping of carrots, or candy? Factors that could interfere with your INTERPRETATION of results are called confounding variables.

The confounding variables for your study would include those highlighted below:

The highlighted confounding variables relate to your confidence in whether using larger dinner plates can make us gain weight.

Some people more than others will naturally restrict how much they eat, which will affect their consumption levels in the experiment independent of plate size. Controlling for this variable will help you determine how much of your observed effect is due to plate size.

You will also want to make sure all participants use the same color dinner plates. If the large plates are a pleasant color and the small plates are an unpleasant color, for example, eating behavior might change because of differences in plate color instead of differences in plate size.

You would also want to track whether your participants had recently completed a difficult exercise activity. Being drained of physical energy can influence eating behavior. By keeping track of participants’ recent exercise activity, you can have greater confidence that any changes in eating behavior are due to changing the size of plates they used.

Note that you are randomly assigning people to use either large or small dinner plates, which will help you control for natural intake restriction, exercise, and many other variables. With random assignment, each participant has the same chance of being assigned to each group. This should give each of your groups a balanced number of participants for whom natural restriction or recent exercise may be a factor.

Using larger dinner plates increases eating behavior, but the impact of plate size can be affected by other factors. For example, eating behavior is also affected by characteristics of the dishware, and whether people normally restrict their eating or have recently completed a difficult physical activity.
