Experiment One- Basic set out

This experiment encompassed altering the context in which the participants made the Milo.

Included within this I cleared the bench completely of anything that was not essential to their

milo. This related heavily to austerity as it took away all comfort, which optimises an austere

situation. The bench itself also reinforced this mood because it was metal, which is often related

to an industrial feel, completely opposite to a homely feel.

Experiment Two- Back to Basics

My chosen experiment was based on taking away the ease which in turn takes away the luxuries

which optimises austerity. So, in this experiment the participant had to boil the water and

scrape the Milo from the bag. I further discusss this experiment and its success’ in my rationale.

Experiment Three- Limited Ingredients

Here I limited the amount of ingredients that the participant was allowed to use as it removed

any sense of control in the situation and any abundance. This reinforces the austere nature as

austerity is focused on taking away anything luxurious.
