This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research is testing how two different types of food labels—warning labels and traffic light labels—affect the food choices people make, especially those with eating disorders. Researchers want to understand whether these labels help people choose healthier options and how they might make people feel emotionally. The study involves making hypothetical food choices online under different labeling conditions.
People with eating disorders often struggle with food decisions, and food labels can sometimes trigger anxiety or unhelpful thinking patterns. Researchers want to understand which types of labels—if any—might support better food choices without causing emotional harm.

You'll complete an online study from home in two sessions. First, you'll make hypothetical food choices from images of packaged foods without any labels as a baseline. Then, 24 hours to one week later, you'll do the same task again, but this time the foods will either have no labels, traffic light labels, or warning labels (you won't know which group you're in). Each session involves choosing one food item from a set of six options in five different scenarios. Afterward, you'll answer questions about your experience.
