本研究调查了容器的感知质量是否会影响水和零食的摄入量以及本科生之间二元对话的主观质量。在实验中，三十对参与者被随机分配到两种条件：高质量容器（HQ）条件，其中参与者提供高质量的玻璃杯来喝水，以及低质量容器（LQ）条件，其中参与者使用普通塑料杯。在每种情况下，成对的参与者坐在一张桌子旁，并被要求就他们选择的某些主题进行自发的、无组织的对话，同时喝水和零食。结果表明，LQ 条件下消耗的水量比 HQ 条件下消耗的水量多，而容器质量的光环效应提高了零食的感知质量。此外，对二元对话的自我评估结果显示，与 HQ 条件下的参与者相比，LQ 条件下的参与者更经常报告他们的对话是合作的、活跃的且不那么笨拙。这些结果表明，容器的可及性（源自其感知质量）会影响参与者的水和零食消耗以及二元交流的质量。
The present study investigated whether the perceived quality of a container affects water and snack intake and the subjective qualities of dyadic conversation between undergraduate students. In the experiment, thirty pairs of participants were randomly assigned to two conditions: the high-quality container (HQ) condition, in which participants were provided with high quality glasses from which to drink water, and the low-quality container (LQ) condition, in which participants used ordinary plastic cups. In each condition, pairs of participants were seated at a table and asked to engage in spontaneous and unstructured conversation about certain topics of their choice while consuming water and snacks. The results demonstrate that a greater amount of water was consumed in the LQ condition than in the HQ condition, while the halo effect of container quality increased the perceived quality of the snacks. Furthermore, the results of the self-evaluation for dyadic conversation revealed that the participants in the LQ condition more often reported their conversations to be cooperative, animated and less clumsy than did those in the HQ condition. These results suggest that the accessibility of a container as derived from its perceived quality affects participants’ water and snack consumption and the qualities of dyadic communication.
