Brief Summary:
The goal of this observational cross-sectional study is to test the sensory attenuation effect with auditory stimuli comparing women with obesity and healthy-weight women Specifically the study aims to test whether the sensory attenuation effect ie the perceived loudness of a self-generated sound is weaker than when another person produces the same sound
i is observed in obesity ii it can be modulated in interactive action contexts as was previously observed in healthy participants
Participants will compare the loudness of target sound with a comparison tone which can be prompt by the participant by pressing a button on their own will ie individual context or upon the experimenter39s signal ie interactive context externally-generated sounds are produced in the opposite way

Detailed Description:
The perceived loudness of a self-generated sound is generally weaker than when another person produces the same sound This effect is known as sensory attenuation and it is considered a proof of sense of agency ie it relies on the anticipation of the sensory-motor effects of one39s intentional action Recently it was suggested that this effect is enhanced in interactive action contexts in healthy individuals meaning that sounds are produced as a consequence of cooperation between individuals
Participants will compare the loudness of target sound with a comparison tone which could be generated in 4 different conditions
i participants press a button ii the experimenter press the button iii participants press the button upon the experimenter39s signal ie who touch the participants39 arm iv the experimenter presses the button upon the participants39 signal ie who touch the experimenter39s arm
However it is not clear whether the same effect of cooperation can be observed also when individuals experience difficulties in social interactions and relationships
To this purpose the study compared the sensory attenuation effect for auditory stimuli in a traditional ie individual and interactive context comparing women with obesity and healthy-weight women
Indeed relational difficulties and social withdrawal characterized this clinical condition
