Summary
This study looks at how empathy—understanding and sharing others' feelings—relates to binge eating and relationship problems in adults with obesity. Researchers will test 155 people in a nutritional program using emotion-recognition tasks and questionnaires. The goal is to better understand these connections, not to test a treatment.
