  1. Note. *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001. Scores for perceived cleanliness, perceived healthiness, and willingness to adopt the presented diets were averaged across all five “clean” diet vignettes. EDE-QS is the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire Short; EHQ is the Eating Habits Questionnaire; OCI-R is the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised; WBIS-M is the Weight Bias Internalization Scale – Modified; MBSRQ-AS-BASS and MBSRQ-AS-OP are the Body Areas Satisfaction and Overweight Preoccupation subscales from the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire Appearance Scales, respectively. Participants who completed the survey in less than 20 min (n = 5) or incorrectly responded to the attention check questions for the vignettes (n = 38) were excluded from the correlation analyses
