Experimental design of Laney et al.

• Independent measures

• repeated measures

• Lab experiment

• natural experiment

Experiment 1 showed that

• subjects can be led to develop positively-framed false beliefs about experiences with food, and these beliefs can lead to an increase liking of those foods.

• subjects who believed the false feedback were more likely than control subjects to rate a photograph of asparagus as more appetizing and less disgusting.

Experiment 2 showed that

• subjects can be led to develop positively-framed false beliefs about experiences with food, and these beliefs can lead to an increase liking of those foods.

• subjects who believed the false feedback were more likely than control subjects to rate a photograph of asparagus as more appetizing and less disgusting.
