The Student Room Group

Participation appreciated!

Hi, my name is Jade Edomwonyi and I am an undergraduate psychology student at the University of Derby, and I'm running a study exploring how men view portrayals of the male body and how these images may influence body image or self perception.

Who can take part?
To take part, you must:
- identify as male regardless of sex assigned at birth
- be aged 18 or over
- not be in the process of receiving a diagnosis of an eating disorder or currently receiving treatment for an eating disorder
- not have been hospitalised for mental health difficulties or eating related behaviours in the last 12 months
- feel comfortable reflecting on body image and media influences in English
not be currently experiencing acute mental health difficulties (e.g. severe anxiety, depression)
- be able to give full informed consent to take part in the study

What does participation involve?
You will be asked to complete an anonymous online questionnaire with open ended questions about:
- your views on media portrayals of male bodies
- how these images influence thoughts, expectations, and experiences
- your personal perspectives on male body image

Taking part in this study is completely voluntary.
All information you provide will be kept securely and any identifying details will be removed to ensure your anonymity.
You are free to withdraw your data at any point before or during completing the questionnaire, and up to 2 weeks after taking part.
There is absolutely no obligation to participate.
