Consumers often have difficulty with controling their intakes of vice food such as Oreo cookies. This research examines whether the effects of package transparency on vice food consumption is moderated by food size, package size, and consumers' level of dietary restraint. First, in case of manipulating package transparency and only food size, we predict that the consumption of vice food in transparent(vs. opaque) package will be increased when food size is small and when consumers' dietary restraint level is low. On the other hand, we also predict that this effect will be disappeared when food size is larger and when consumers' dietary restraint level is high. Second, in case of manipulating package transparency and manipulating both package size and food size correspondingly, it is expected that the consumption of vice food in transparent (vs. opaque) package will be increased when package and food size is small and this effect will be mediated by food salience, whereas the consumption of vice food in transparent(vs. opaque) package will be rather decreased when package and food size is larger and this effect will be mediated by consumption monitoring. To test our hypotheses, we conducted two experiments. The results of experiment 1, achieved by using a 2 (package transparency: transparent vs. opaque) × 2 (food size: small-size vs. large-size) between-subjects design, did not support the prediction of the moderating role of food size but supported our prediction of the moderating role of consumers' level of dietary restraint in the effect of package transparency on vice food consumption. In experiment 2, we used a 2 (package transparency: transparent vs. opaque) × 2 (package and food size: small-size vs. large-size) between-subjects design by corresponding package size with food size, and it was confirmed that small-size(large-size) package and food can increase(decrease) the consumption of vice food from transparent(vs. opaque) package. Moreover, our hypothesis that food salience mediates the transparency effect of small-size package and food was significantly supported and the prediction that consumption monitoring mediates the transparency effect of large-size package and food was marginally significantly supported. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of our findings and provide the limitations and directions for the future research.
