Coment of the original author:

I am a student at Dublin Business School and I am doing a Higher National Diploma in Psychology. For my research project/thesis I am investigating the link between the ability to voluntarily visualise and the impact on body image.

Studies in body image show that part of the problem can be how you view yourself and some of the treatments are visualisation based. So I am wondering if visualisers or us are more or less at risk. I am not hypothesising either way.

The survey contains the VVIQ (which we can help complete pretty quickly) and then some questions related to body image.

I need to get roughly 70 people in my aphantasia group so would really appreciate your time!
