Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
We are involved in testing new behavioral science methods and measures for future research projects. In the course of these evaluations, we will also test research questions related to parents psychological experiences and how these relate to the responses they have when they encounter different types of communication about child health. We are testing multiple research questions in the course of this research.
Objective:
\- To learn about technologies and approaches to use in future research studies.
Eligibility:
\- Parents (fathers and mothers) of children between the ages of 3-7.
Design:
As part of the main study, participants will do four tasks:
Task 1: Before participants arrive for an in-person visit, they will answer questions online about themselves, their child, and their thoughts and opinions related to health.
Task 2: At the in-person visit, participants will watch a short scene from a movie and answer some questions
Task 3: At the in-person visit, participants will read information about a child health topic and answer questions
Task 4: At the in-person visit, participants will use a virtual reality-based buffet restaurant simulation to make hypothetical food choices for their child...

3. being able to come to the NIH Clinical Center for one visit.
* Participants in the secondary Buffet Serving Evaluation will be healthy adult parents 18 years and older
1. being the parent of a biological child who is between 3 and 7 years old with no major allergies or dietary-related health conditions;
2. having some responsibility for child s dietary intake ;

1. Having the ability to read, write and converse in English
2. Able to come to the clinical center for on visit.
1. Being the parent of a biological child who is between 3 and 7 years old with no major allergies or dietary-related health conditions
2. Having some responsibility for child s dietary intake; however, if we encounter recruitment difficulties, we may instead sample nonparent participants who are of the same general age range as parents who participated in our past studies using the virtual buffet. For the pilot test, we will sample non-parents in the age range of past parent participants
