Study Summary
The purpose of this project is to examine potential bias or expectancies in individuals' measurement and recording of weight in a clinical-research setting.
Primary Outcome
Participants will be asked to weigh individuals who they have been told are completing either the treatment or control condition of a weight loss trial (individuals will actually be paid actors playing the role of a study participant). Participants will weigh individuals on calibrated balance-beam scales, and the discrepancy between weights recorded when individuals are thought to be a treatment or control participant will be calculated, which is the primary outcome for this study.
Interventions
- OTHER clinic-based weight measurements
