This study includes 3 online surveys that will ask you about your background and about your current attitudes toward your body/body image. This study also includes 3 online writing activities that you will complete over the course of a week.

All study-relevant information will be communicated to you through email. You will receive emails with links to all writing activities and the last two surveys. Please make sure to check your email regularly to not miss any important information.

For an outline of the study protocol please see below:

Day 1: 25 minute background information survey

Day 2: first 20 minute writing activity

Day 4: second 20 minute writing activity

Day 6: third 20 minute writing activity

Day 7: follow-up 15 minute survey

Day 21: final 15 minute survey

Please complete the writing activities in a private, quiet, and comfortable place to minimize distractions. 

On days where there is no survey or writing, you will not receive communication from the research team and there is nothing for you to do for the study. Your participation will only be on 6 total days, over the course of 3 weeks.
