Body Project Treatment is open to all females between the ages of 18-34 years with\u00a0major body image and eating concerns. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions. Participants will attend 8 weekly one-hour body acceptance classes. The classes are designed to help women feel better about their bodies. During the meetings, participants complete a series of written and verbal exercises intended to increase body satisfaction by helping them think critically about the ultra-slender ideal and discussing some of the pitfalls associated with the pursuit of this ideal and engaging in disordered eating behaviors. We will also be collecting ECG data about the participants. Participants who are eligible for fMRI scans might be asked to undergo pre- and post-treatment scans. These participants will receive additional compensation and a picture of their brain.<\/p>\n
RECRUITMENT on hold. Estimated to start again in January of 2019<\/p>\n
