2.2.2. Questionnaires

Before the presentation of the food images, the participants filled out a questionnaire that was used to describe the participant sample and to enable the control of possibly relevant factors (such as current feelings of satiation and frequency of eating Asian food see Supplementary File C). For the same reasons, they also filled out the Food Neophobia Scale [31], consisting of ten questions that the participant rated on a 7-point scale, ranging from 'strongly disagree' to 'strongly agree'. High scoring participants are considered food neophobic, meaning that they are unwilling to try new food, while low scoring participants are enthusiastic about trying new and different food. We used Gorilla (www.Gorilla.sc, Cauldron Science, Cambridge, UK, accessed on 1 June 2020) as the experimental platform to ask the questions and direct the participants through the experiment.
