Before analysing the data, to consider participants’ unrestrained choice of chocolate limiting portion size control, an independent sample Controlling for MEBS-T scores showed significant differences between the two groups, where the experimental group showed significantly higher overall MEBS-S scores and Sensory Attention subscale scores, when compared to the control group. Compared to the control group, the experimental group further showed marginally non-significant differences in the scores for the Non-judgmental Awareness subscale. The amount of chocolate eaten was not significantly different, but the experimental group took significantly more time to eat the chocolate than the control group. The impact of the MEBS-T as a covariate in the one-way ANCOVA indicated that there was a significant relationship to MEBS-S and the subscales, as well as the amount eaten, but not the time that was taken to finish eating, while monitoring for the independent groups, findings further suggested significant differences between the MEP and the control condition, where the MEP displayed higher scores for the overall score of MEBS-T and the Sensory Attention subscale, as well as more time, was taken to consume the chocolate, while Non-Judgemental Awareness was marginally non-significant, but still higher than the control group (see Table Tests of between-subjects effects with covariant the MEBS-T and descriptive statisticsBold indicating significance.
