Research study requesting female participants
We invite you to take part in a research study considering facial and body perceptions.
You can take part if:
- You are female
- You are between 16 years and 25 years of age
- You have access to Facebook and log in 3 or more times a week
- You have never had any orthodontic treatment
- You have never been diagnosed with depression, body dysmorphic disorder or any eating disorders
- You are able to attend two sessions to fill questionnaires
This study intends to consider how female’s perception of their facial appearance varies between those who have never had orthodontic treatment and those currently undergoing orthodontic or orthognathic treatment (jaw surgery) and if mood may influence this.
We can send you a full information sheet via email if you would like to take part.
