Participants wanted: Female university students wanted for study investigating the effects of self-compassion and perfectionism on disordered eating behaviours.
We are investigating how self-compassion and perfectionism are related to and interact with disordered eating symptoms and body image in female university students. This study is for Louise Shields’ masters thesis.
The study will be conducted online and takes about 30 minutes. You will be asked to meet on Teams with the researcher to give a quick overview of the study, then you will complete some demographic questions (e.g. age, weight and height) as well as several short questionnaires. You will then be debriefed and ensure you can access the intervention, which you will be asked to complete a 15-minute self-compassion exercise every day for four weeks. After the four weeks, you will repeat the questionnaire.
You will be entered into a draw to win £10 Amazon vouchers.
