Validation of Visual Stimuli for Eating Disorders Research

The goal of this study is to identify food and body images that may cause strong emotional responses among individuals with eating and weight-related concerns. Specifically, the researchers are looking to identify a set of food images and body images that can be used in future research studies to examine differences in emotion-based reactions between individuals with and without eating disorder symptoms. Ultimately, this knowledge may help us better understand food and body-related emotional processes that might contribute to eating disorder attitudes and behaviors.
