Objectives
Narrative objectives1
Previous research by the applicant has revealed that the tilt of food influences the perceived deliciousness of its appearance. This is believed to be influenced by the ease of gripping the food. This study aims to manipulate the ease of gripping food by displaying tongs and investigate whether the perceived ease of gripping food truly affects the perceived deliciousness of its appearance.

Assessment
Primary outcomes
Participants will be asked to rate food impressions displayed on a computer screen using a 9-point scale. Nine different food photos will be used, and each trial will involve presenting food photos 63 times (an average of 7 presentations per photo). The conditions will involve comparing situations where photos of tongs that are easy to grip with the left hand are displayed (Left Tong condition) versus situations where photos of tongs that are easy to grip with the right hand are displayed (Right Tong condition). While this study originally aims to investigate the influence of tong position on food preferences, during the recruitment stage, participants will be informed that the study is about "investigating changes in food preference due to food color." Therefore, this study involves a deception procedure.
