Online Experiment Investigating Perinatal Body Awareness
Researchers from the University of York invite you to volunteer to take part in an online experiment investigating body awareness and how we feel about our bodies during pregnancy and shortly following birth.
The experiment lasts about 20 minutes and consists of an online experimental task (~10 mins) during which you are asked to focus on different parts of your body for 2 mins each. For this part of the study you will need a quiet space and the audio working on your phone or computer. The other part of the study involves a short survey and some questions about yourself / your pregnancy (if you are pregnant).
Non pregnant/postnatal women aged between 18 – 45 are also invited to take part as we also need to compare our findings to women not in the perinatal period.
The full information sheet can be found here (this is also at the beginning of the experiment)
Take part using your phone or computer
Don't have audio? If you are pregnant but an experiment with sound isn't practical/ possible you can still help us out by completing this short survey looking at social pressures during pregnancy Pregnancy Survey
