Body Image and Physical Activity

04 February 2017

We are interested in the links between body image and physical acticity as well as how these relate to physical activity motivation, wellbeing and mood. In particular we are interested in validating a new scale 'the body compassion scale' which measures self-criticism versus self-kindness in relation to your body.

This first part involves 7 pages of questionnaires and is completely online. There is also the opportunity to volunteer for further research at a later date.
