Female participants needed for a study on thinking styles and eating disorders

Researchers from the UCL Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology are conducting a study to explore the thinking styles in women who have recovered from anorexia nervosa compared to women who have never had any eating disorder.

The study is open to female participants between the ages of 18-65 who have either no history of a previous eating disorder, or who have a past history of Anorexia Nervosa.

The study involves an initial brief screening with the researcher via skype or over the phone (approximately 20 minutes), followed by a set of online tasks and questionnaires (approximately 45 minutes).

Participants will have the choice of being entered into a draw to win one of ten £10 Amazon vouchers, having a donation made to an eating disorders charity, or receiving research credit. Participants will be compensated for both the initial screening and the second stage of the study.

Further details on the study can be found in the participant information sheet.
