Article Synopsis
- The study explored how patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) manage personal space in relation to different facial expressions and body shapes.
- It involved 29 AN patients and 30 control participants, who interacted with virtual characters while their physiological responses (like electrodermal activity) were measured.
- Results showed that AN patients had different reactions to body shape and facial expressions, preferring larger distances from overweight characters but smaller distances from underweight ones, revealing emotional detachment and heightened sensitivity to body image.
