A lurking variable would be the distance between where the consumers start and the store, if some consumers prefer to eat at closer food establishments. Other lurking variables would be, the diet of the consumers, the average cost for the meal of choice, and what weekend the test was taken on, as well as what the consumers had eaten prior to the weekend. ]]> 2019-04-09 19:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350109500 sades544 https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350111287 Each food establishment is their own control group.

This is a somewhat large margin due to the population size and the small number of food establishments to choose from. ]]> 2019-04-09 19:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350113761 sades544 https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350115467 This study could definitely be replicated in the future. A way to improve it would be to have more consumers and offer more food establishments, especially with varying sign colours. ]]> 2019-04-09 19:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350115467 sades544 https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350115941 28 consumers went to food establishments that had brightly colored signs, while the remaining 22 went with food establishments that had soft colored signs]]> 2019-04-09 19:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350115941 sades544 https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350117634 The chances that a consumer will base their food choice off of the sign of a color is 58% to 90% because of the psychological attraction that red leaves on people.]]> 2019-04-09 19:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350117634 sades544 https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350118814 The consumers food was not paid for by the study, so the money towards finances was $0. ]]> 2019-04-09 19:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350118814 sades544 https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350119567 The study showed how people were affected by the colors of signs. 80% of our decisions and information comes from our eyes, which influences many fast food establishments to make their signs bright colors in order to attract the attention of consumers driving or walking by. The results show that the ¨brighter" the sign, the more likely consumers are to go to that food establishment. Red is a popular option due to the passion-inducing color being viewed positively throughout cultures around the world. ]]> 2019-04-09 19:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sades544/yogtskjyr3el/wish/350119567
