An experimenter wanted to test the hypothesis that women who eat large meals are not liked as well as women who eat smaller quantities of food by using the one factor repeated measures design. Participants in the study watched a videotape of a woman eating a small nutritious snack, a normal meal, or a huge meal while talking to another person. Each participant viewed three different versions of
the videotape, each with a different woman (Pat, Sue, and Deb) eating a different amount of food. After viewing the videotape, participants filled out a questionnaire about how much they liked each of the women they had seen in the videos. In this experiment, having some participants watch the "huge meal" video first while others watch the "healthy snack" version first and still other participants watch the "normal meal" version first would control for _____.
a. the effects of randomizing c. participant differences
b. order effects d. meal size
