Dear participant,
in the following study, we will assess your eating behavior via two validated questionnaires (Salzburg Emotional Eating Scale, SEES, 20 items; Mindful Eating Inventory, MEI, 30 items). Furthermore, you will be asked to indicate various demographic data (age, gender, education, pre-existing illnesses, height, weight) as well as data concerning your eating behavior (diet, food-related allergies).
After the questionnaires, you will conduct a writing tasks intervention in which you will write down food-related thoughts and cognitions.
Following this task, we will assess responses (speed & accuracy) on visual cues (visual probe paradigm). For this part of the study, you will need a keyboard. The paradigm will not work on a phone or tablet without a physical keyboard.
The whole participation will take ca. 20 minutes. You can cancel your participation at any time without giving any reason.
The collected data will be used for research purposes and will be made available online (open science framework, OSF). However, we will not publish any data that would allow you to be identified (e.g., height, birthday, allergies). Furthermore, we will not record your name and contact data.
