    This study found that females scored higher on the rod-and-frame test than males, but this difference was unrelated to body weight. Cookie preference varied with overall consumption, not just color ratio.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Human Nutrition

    Background:

    • Understanding individual differences in cognitive styles, such as field dependence/independence, is crucial.
    • Dietary choices and their relationship with cognitive factors remain an area of interest.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between performance on the rod-and-frame test and dietary choices in undergraduates.
    • To explore potential gender differences in spatial orientation and food selection behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants: 29 male and 44 female undergraduate students.
    • Procedure: Rod-and-frame test administered, followed by free access to white and colored cookies.
    • Data Collection: Rod-and-frame scores and cookie consumption (ratio and total) were recorded.

    Main Results:

    • Female undergraduates exhibited significantly higher rod-and-frame test scores compared to males.
    • Rod-and-frame scores did not correlate with participants' percentage overweight.
    • The ratio of white to colored cookies consumed was associated with the total quantity of cookies eaten.

    Conclusions:

    • Gender influences spatial orientation as measured by the rod-and-frame test.
    • Dietary selection, specifically cookie preference, appears linked to overall consumption levels rather than solely cognitive style or body weight.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the complex interplay between cognitive factors, gender, and eating behaviors.
