The Fixed Unit Effect: Observation Report

125 Words1 Pages
For this experiment, I purchased two uncooked pizzas that were unsliced and were the same size in diameter. After I cooked the two pizza’s, I sliced one pizza into eights and the other one into sixteenths. My older brother ate three slices of the pizza that was cut into eights, my mother and I ate four pieces of the pizza that was cut into sixteenths.

After I conducted my experiment I read the article, The Fixed-Unit Effect: How Socially Consumed Partitioned Food Affects Consumption My Bui by Brennan Davis and Collin R. Payne. After reading the article I discovered that the results from my experiment were highly correlated to the experiments that were conducted in the article by authors Brennan Davis and Collin R. Payne.
