Only one male ate his burger torn into pieces, only one ate his burger around, while 10 of the males ate their burgers across.

Age appeared to be correlated to one specific type of eating behavior: tearing the burger into bites. Of the people who tore their burgers into pieces, two of them were very young children. The other two were either older teenagers or very young adults. No person over the age of 20 tore their burger into pieces to eat it. However, age did not seem correlated to whether a person ate a burger across or around. Most people ate their burgers across. In fact, of the 25 people observed, 15 of them ate their burgers across, and the age of those diners ranged from 10 to 65. There did not seem to be an age-pattern with the people who ate their burgers around, either; they ranged from age 10 to age 50.

Companionship seemed to be correlated with the tearing style of eating. Both children who ate their burgers torn into pieces were obviously with adult companions. However, the other two diners who ate their burgers torn into pieces were also with companions; in fact, they were dining together. Therefore, it seems like tearing the burgers into bites might be correlated with dining in a group. However, companionship did not appear to be correlated with whether someone ate their burgers across or around. Of the 15 people who ate their burgers across, three of them were dining alone, while 12 were dining with companions. Of the six people who ate their burgers around, one was dining alone, while five were dining with companions.

Style of dress did not seem to be linked to any particular dining style, though casual style dominated at the McDonalds.

Of the 25 people observed, 14 of them were dressed casually, six of them were dressed in business attire, four of them were dressed in urban attire, and one of them was dressed like a princess. Of the six people who ate their burgers around, three were dressed casually, two in business attire, and one in urban attire. Of the 15 people who ate their burgers across, nine of them were dressed in casual attire, two were dressed in urban attire, and four were dressed in business attire. However, the tearing style of eating might be correlated to flashier styles of dress; of the four people who tore their food into pieces, one was dressed in an urban style, one was dressed like a princess, and two were dressed casually.

Conclusion

The study did not demonstrate any distinct relationship between outward physical characteristics and eating style. Most people eat their burgers across, but a significant number of people eat their burgers around. The presence of people or style of dress does not appear to be linked to eating style. The most notable exception is that age does appear to be linked to the habit of tearing one's hamburger into pieces and then eating those pieces; no person over the age of 20 engaged in that behavior during the course of the study.
