The main objective of this project is to understand whether the use of wearables produces changes in the individuals\u2019 body image and perception. As there is a growing debate in self-tracking literature about the possibility that body representations may be affected by activity tracker use, the study will empirically investigate this point by focusing on two constructs: body image and body awareness. We will apply a mixed-method design approach: first, participants will be asked to complete a set of standardized questionnaires before and after a 3-month period of wearable use; then, in-depth interviews will be conducted on a sub-sample of participants to better understand the underlying dynamics.<\/p>\n
