Grocery Store Study

The purpose of this study is to look at factors that influence mother's food purchases. Mothers of 6 to 18 year old children will come to the University at Buffalo for three 60-90 minute visits. During the first and second session, mothers will complete two short tasks. In one task mothers will make choices between different monetary rewards and in the other task, mothers will play a computer game to earn points for portions of food. During the third session, mothers will be given a certain amount of money to purchase food for their family in a hypothetical grocery store. Mothers will be reimbursed for their time.
