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

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.
