No, no data have been collected for this study yet. 2) What's the main question being asked or hypothesis being tested in this study? Focusing on Jewish Israelis who were born in Israel (i.e., native Hebrew speakers) we predict that viewing culturally fluent breakfast dishes (fresh vegetables, eggs, cheese) increases inherence relative to Israelis who view culturally disfluent breakfast dishes (cooked vegetables, meat, unique pastry) whether or not disfluency has been made explicit through warning. 3) Describe the key dependent variable(s) specifying how they will be measured. Inherence is our dependent variable; it is measured with the Inherence Heuristic Scale of Salomon & Cimpian (2014). 4) How many and which conditions will participants be assigned to? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three conditions. In all conditions, they are exposed to photos of breakfast dishes and are asked to rate them on quality and attractiveness (using a five-point scale, 1 = not at all, 5 = very much). In the culturally fluent condition, the photos present breakfasts of raw vegetables, fresh cheeses, fresh bread, fried eggs. In the culturally disfluent condition, the pictures present breakfasts of cooked vegetables, meats, fried breads, fries.
