Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research study is to investigate how social standing in a game of Monopoly may influence behavior.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Psychosocial Influence on Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular Disease Behavioral: High Social Status Condition Behavioral: Low Social Status Condition Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Participants will be asked to fill out questionnaires/surveys and health measures will be collected throughout the study visit. These health measures will include: blood pressure, heart rate, height/weight, waist circumference, percent body fat, resting metabolic rate, and salivary cortisol. Breakfast will be provided and then a 40-minute game of Monopoly™ will be played, and lunch will be provided after the game. Participants will be given an accelerometer to measure movements, and a food diary to be used for a 24-hour period. Once the 24-hour monitoring period has been completed, the participants will be finished with the study activities. The accelerometer and food diary will be returned by either bringing them to the investigators or mailing the items back to the investigators.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Energy balance between the groups at hour 4 and over 24 hours [ Time Frame: Hour 4, After 24 Hours ]
    The investigators will assess energy balance using accelerometry, consumption data and resting metabolic rate.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in blood pressure between the groups at hours 0, 1, 3, 4 [ Time Frame: Hours 0, 1, 3, 4 ]
    Systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be assessed.

  2. Change in heart rate between the groups at hours 0, 1, 3, 4 [ Time Frame: Hours 0, 1, 3, 4 ]
    Heart rate will be captured using a heart rate monitor.

  3. Change in salivary cortisol between the groups at hours 1, 3 [ Time Frame: Hours 1, 3 ]
    Salivary cortisol will be collected and tested to determine objective stress levels.

  4. Change in Visual Analog Scales (VAS) between the groups at hours 0, 1, 3, 4 [ Time Frame: Hours 0, 1, 3, 4 ]
    Scores are from 0 - 100, 0 generally meaning least and 100 generally meaning most.
