2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of watching a television show with healthy food commercials, unhealthy food commercials, or neutral commercials on the consumption of healthy snack foods or unhealthy snack foods. There are three hypotheses: 1) Women exposed to a television show with commercials imbedded advertising food will consume more food than women exposed to a television show with non-food related commercials. 2) Women will consume more food when exposed to a television show with commercials advertising "unhealthy" food as compared to a television show with commercials advertising "healthy" food. 3) Women will consume the most food when exposed to a television show with "unhealthy" food commercials and have "unhealthy" snack foods available to consume.
The objective of the proposed research is to conduct a within-subject experimental study that will assess the effect of environmental distractions on a mothers' ability to recognize and feed in response to infants' feeding cues. Investigators hypothesize that mothers will spend significantly more time looking at their technology compared to looking at their infant, which will be negatively associated with the mothers' responsiveness to her infant. This will have a positive association with infant intake during the feeding. Investigators also hypothesize that mothers will show less sensitivity when distracted when compared to when they are not distracted.
