How does awareness of our bodies and emotions shape body image?

UCD researcher, Katerina Damaskou,  is conducting a research project to understand how alexithymia – the differences in processing and describing emotions-, along with our ability to interpret bodily signals (interoception), impact body image.

The study is:

  • Fully online (approx. 20 mins)
  • Completely anonymous
  • Open to all adults (18+) residing on the island of Ireland -both neurotypical and neurodivergent participants are welcome.
