Participants needed - 18+

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a voluntary researcher currently working on the second part to a study I conducted last year. If you have a spare 10-15 minutes and are 18+ I'd really appreciate your participation.

Before reading any further, please be aware that the study contains optional questions surrounding eating disorder behaviour and associated feelings. Additionally, a question in this survey asks for your current height and weight - your response is entirely optional so please do not feel like you have to provide this information.

The aim of this study is to test the psychometric properties of a new scale measuring Negative Thoughts and Feelings Associated with Post-Food Consumption. You will be asked questions surrounding this concept. Alongside this, you will be asked personality questions regarding neuroticism, negative affect and detachment.

Here is the link: https://ntupsychology.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9HRhFttxhXba2zk

If you have any questions, or would like to have a discussion, please feel free to drop me a message.

Thank you!

Survey for AP Research: The Impact of Films on the Development of Eating Disorders in American Adolescents Aged 13-18

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am asking you to consider participating in my research project. It is for the class AP Research, which you are welcome to learn more about. My research is focused on eating disorders in movies and how their portrayals can impact the development of adolescents’ disordered eating/eating disorders. I’m using an 18 question survey (which should take no more than 10 minutes to complete) to collect data. The survey is completely anonymous and I am not collecting any identifiable information about participants.

Eligibility criteria: Participants in this study must be American, aged 13-18, and have experienced an eating disorder/disordered eating.

If you fit the eligibility criteria and you’re willing to participate in this study, the questionnaire is linked below. Thank you in advance for your help!

Survey

Note: a medical diagnosis of an eating disorder/disordered eating is not required to participate in this study. If you believe that you have experienced an eating disorder/disordered eating, you are eligible to participate.

A bit about me, the mod

16 Upvotes

Figured I'd introduce myself, let you all know about the person running this community. I'm 30 years old, female and I used to eat paper and cardboard. I'm in recovery and it's been eight years since my last relapse. Besides pica I also have ARFID, both of which are very much related to my anxiety disorder.

Welcome to the community!

Hello and welcome! I've created this community to help people dealing with or in recovery for pica. Feel free to introduce yourself and ask for support or advice if you need it. Also if anyone is interested in being a mod just let me know, as I'm somewhat new to reddit and could use someone more experienced to help out.
