Effects of Eating Problems on Cognitive Functioning

Do you struggle with intense fear of gaining weight? Have you recently experienced significant weight loss? Do you eat much less than other people?

Researchers at The PEAR Lab (Principal Investigator: Lindsay Bodell, PhD) at Western University are looking for adults (age 18+) interested in a study examining problem-solving abilities and eating and body image concerns.

What is involved? 

  • Meet with a researcher virtually for 2-3 hours
  • Complete an interview and questionnaires about your eating behaviors, mood and thinking styles
  • Complete a variety of short problem-solving tasks on your own computer (participants must have access to a laptop or desktop computer to complete the study)

Compensation will be provided.
