Question 63

Context: Healthy Eating School Canteen Study

Research suggests that subtle changes in environment design ('nudging') can encourage healthier eating habits without restricting choice. To investigate this, an educational psychologist conducted a covert observation study in a secondary school cafeteria. She monitored students' selection of fruit from two different service stations situated side-by-side during a single lunch hour (12:30 pm to 1:30 pm).

  • Display A: Had colorful 'Fresh Choice' signage and a spotlight directed onto the fruit.
  • Display B: Was a standard display without special lighting or signs.

The psychologist recorded the division of choices among junior students (Years 7 to 9) and senior students (Years 10 to 11). The data collected is presented in the table below:
