Passage #1:
[textwrap]
Despite the mandate by the United States federal government to print food labels on all food products, most American consumers are still not comfortable reading food labels. Many consumers complain that the food labels on their goods and produce are somewhat confusing. Typically, descriptions of a food product contain information on a litany of attributes, many of which are not of interest to consumers. Some of the information on the labels will influence the health and wellness of the consumers, while others might have no effect at all.
A researcher interested in consumer dietary choices designed a study to explore food choices based on labeling. A non-clinical group of women was asked to complete the tasks in the study after fasting for 24 hours. For the study design, a gradient was instituted among the three colors of red, orange, and green. If the food was deemed a health hazard, then a red label was used for cataloging and it had a red traffic light on the packaging. Foods that were on the border of being unhealthy had a warning label colored between red and orange and so forth. Finally, extremely healthy foods were assigned a green label indicating to the consumers that they were beneficial for their health. Women were shown pictures of multiple foods with the color-coded labels and asked which ones they would purchase. The results of the study are shown in Figure 1.

1) The task that was used in this study was measuring which of the following?
Answer: A
Foundational Concept: 7
Content Category: 7A
Skill: 1
The theory being tested was the Incentive Theory of Motivation. The women in the study were using incentive (health) as a reason for making a choice. Arousal theory (B) refers to the concept that people are motivated to engage in behaviors in order to either increase or their decrease arousal levels. The Instinct Theory of Motivation (C) states that all behaviors are motivated by underlying instincts. In psychology, need (D) is defined as a state of deprivation.
