Brief Summary:
The goal of this experiment is to examine the effects of three different types of front-of-package warning labels for sugar-sweetened beverages on perceived weight stigmatization as well as the effect of making such labels more weight-neutral The main questions this experiment aims to answer are
Are certain types of front-of-package warning labels perceived as more stigmatizing than others
Are more weight-neutral versions of front-of-package warning labels perceived as less stigmatizing than their regular versions
Is there a trade-off between label effectiveness in discouraging product consumption and perceived weight stigmatization
Additionally this experiment also aims to answer the following questions
Does exposure to certain types of front-of-package warning labels lead to changes in participants weight bias
Are changes in participants weight bias as a result of label exposure mediated by attribution of personal responsibility for body weight pathogen disgust or perceived social consensus

Detailed Description:
Participants will be randomly assigned to see one of four types of labels control labels nutrient warning labels text-only health warning labels or graphic health warning labels Participants will then see an image depicting different types of fictional sugar-sweetened beverages carrying the label type that they were assigned to Participants will see this image twice in random order each time differing in whether the label is weight-neutral or not ie whether the label references caloriesobesity or not Each time participants will answer survey questions about the label Last participants will answer survey questions measuring their weight bias and potential mediating variables
