Group means and standard deviations (SD in brackets) are provided for the initial sample (online study), and the final samples taking part in the online pilot study (upper rows), and the laboratory study (lower rows). Scores are provided for T1 measurement. Sample description at T1 includes age and self-report measures. Self-report measures include self-reported depression (BDI, sum score), anxiety (STAI, state and trait sum scores), body dissatisfaction (EDI – sum score, body dissatisfaction scale), perceived stress and coping (SCI, sum scores include overall stress, subscales and coping strategies), quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF, includes overall quality of life, satisfaction with physical health, well-being, social relations and environment), positive and negative affect (trait and state), and physical activity (GPAQ). The range of the scores for the questionnaires and subscales is reported in brackets.
