▼ This study explores the narratives of male undergraduate students and their experiences with body dissatisfaction. The inquiry utilizes a constructivist epistemology and a qualitative design in order to best understand previous and current experiences of individuals who have reflected upon their body image as part of their identity. To gather data, this study utilizes narrative inquiry through in-depth interviews and asks participants to share stories in their lives that have shaped the way they view their bodies. Additionally, this research attempts to learn more about their coping strategies, including self-care, help-seeking, and risk-taking practices connected to body dissatisfaction. Participant responses were used to create themes that best represented the coping strategies of the sample of male undergraduates. The results of the study could be utilized by universities to provide direction to counselors and university practitioners in their support of body dissatisfied male students as well as in their promotion and programming efforts in body image.

This study examined the impact of body image dissatisfaction on physical health and psychosocial functioning. It was proposed that body image dissatisfaction partially mediates the link between weight and negative health consequences. It was also proposed that body image dissatisfaction negatively affects psychosocial functioning. Analyses were conducted using survey results from 414 participants recruited from University of Hawaii undergraduate Psychology courses. Participants responded online to a survey consisting of self-report measures of body image dissatisfaction, physical health, psychosocial functioning, and health behaviors. Relationships among these variables were examined using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. Additionally, multiple regression analyses were used to test the shared variance simultaneously accounted for by body image dissatisfaction, age, and BMI across several outcome variables: physical health, psychosocial functioning, and health behavior. Finally, a path analysis was conducted to test the strength of a mediational model consisting of BMI as the predictor variable, body image dissatisfaction as the mediating variable, and physical and psychosocial functioning as the outcome variables.

▼ Paper 1: Study one investigates the relationship between the ages of children and young people in years 5-9 and their levels of body esteem, perceived pressure from family, friends and the media, internalisation of societal standards of attractiveness and social comparison.169 participants aged 9-14 years completed four questionnaires: the Body Esteem Scale for Children, the Perceived Sociocultural Pressure Scale, the general internalisation subscale of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Scale-3 and the Physical Appearance Comparison Scale. Results indicated that relationships existed between the age of participants and their scores on these questionnaires, but only for girls. For girls, a significant negative correlation was found between age in months and scores on the Body Esteem Scale for Children, and a significant positive correlation was found between age in months and scores on the Perceived Sociocultural Pressure Scale, the general internalisation subscale of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Scale-3 and the Physical Appearance Comparison Scale. No relationship between age in months and scores on the questionnaires were found for boys. Boys also had significantly higher body esteem than girls and there were significant correlations between scores on the Perceived Sociocultural Pressure Scale, the general internalisation subscale of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Scale-3, the Physical Appearance Comparison Scale and the Body Esteem Scale for Children. Results are discussed with reference to the gender differences, as well as the role of pressure, internalisation and social comparison in the development of body esteem in children and young people. Paper 2: Study two has a positive psychology focus and is a qualitative study of children and young people with positive body esteem. 10 participants from the initial sample of 169 participants from study one with the highest levels of body esteem were selected for interview. The aim of the research was to discover what children with positive body esteem say about their own appearance, exercise, the influence of family, friends and school, and also about appearance ideals. Thematic analysis revealed that children and young people with positive body esteem have a sense of global satisfaction with their appearance but did not place great importance on appearance. Appearance was rarely discussed with significant others in their lives, although many participants described receiving compliments about their appearance. Where negative comments had been received, these were dismissed as jokes or not important. When asked about appearance ideals, the children and young people in the current study discussed controllable aspects of appearance such as clothes and hairstyles; however, they often rejected appearance ideals and instead defined beauty more widely. Finally, exercise and sport were an important part of these children and young people's lives, with a number of participants competing at a high level. Findings are discussed with…

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of neighborhood and family influences on body image and dietary attitudes in a cohort of 10-and 11-year old children across the BMI spectrum. In this cross-sectional study, age-appropriate figure drawings, Dietary Restraint and Body Esteem Scales were administered to 554 boys and girls. Information on parent and neighborhood influences were gathered from participants' parents and tested for association with child variables through multiple linear regression. This study indicates that parent modeling variables have an association with child body esteem and dietary restraint when BMI is controlled. Socioeconomic status was found to play a role, with high socioeconomic neighborhoods resulting in higher body esteem and dietary restraint. Geographic location had no influence over child variables. Overall, important influences were found between parent and socioeconomic status variables and body esteem and restraint.

Past research indicates that Caucasians hold stronger positive views of ultra-thin body types, have greater body dissatisfaction and greater rates of eating disorders than African Americans. However, a number of studies in the last decade have called into question the significant differences between ethnicities in these areas. Previous studies have focused on explicit measures such as questionnaires and figure ratings scales to arrive at this conclusion. Automatic or implicit measures of attitudes are much less used, though they are superior in their accuracy of instant judgments or opinions that may be difficult for participants to articulate. In the current study, implicit attitudes about thin figures were evaluated using an Implicit Association Test (IAT). Variations on the basic IAT were presented including different concepts related to figures, as well as examples of Caucasian as well as African American figures. Ethnic identity, disordered eating measures, body dissatisfaction and drive for thinness scores were used to assess the relationship between these factors and implicit attitudes. Results suggest that there are no significant differences overall between African American, Caucasian, and Biracial women on implicit views of thin figures, however there are several differences within the IAT types. For instance, IATs presenting attributes related to attractiveness elicit greater D scores than those using general positive and negative concepts. Additionally, both African Americans and Caucasians were more likely to hold internalized thin-ideal associations of "goodness" for thin African Americans than thin Caucasians. Lastly, explicit measures of drive for thinness and problematic eating showed greater disturbances for African Americans relative to the other ethnic groups. Possible explanations and theoretical implications for these findings are discussed. This project contributes to our understanding of how ethno-cultural factors influence internalization of a thin ideal, which in turn maybe be responsible for the onset and maintenance of eating disorders in America.

▼ Research in South Africa remains somewhat limited with regard to eating disorders across race groups. This study aimed to examine whether there were any statistically significant differences between both body image distortion and body image satisfaction between black African and white female university students. The Image-Marking Procedure and the Movable Caliper Technique were used to assess whether participants distorted certain body dimensions (shoulders, waist, hips, and thighs). The Body Cathexis Scale was used to assess and compare body dissatisfaction between the two race groups. The assessments were conducted with a non-probability convenience sample of 20 white and 20 black African female university students. No statistically significant difference was found regarding overall body image distortion between the race groups. This finding was replicated for each of the body dimensions measured. There were also no statistically significant differences found regarding body image dissatisfaction between the two race groups. This study concluded that there was no statistically significant difference between both distortion and dissatisfaction components of body image of both black African and white female university students. The implications of the findings are discussed, challenging the notion that eating disorders, and aspects of eating disorders, are a Western cultural phenomenon and racially bound.

▼ This study will look into to the concepts of Peripersonal Space, The Body Schema and The Body Image. It examines how the terms are typically used and describes the various views about the concepts found in the literature, as well as the contradictions between these views. In the section "The Difficulty to Differentiate the Concepts" the reader gets a deeper understanding of which criteria researchers use to differentiate the concepts from one another. The fact that there are changes in kineamethic model and sensation in humans when they are using a rake is proposed as support for the idea that also the body schema is involved in tool use. In differentiating the Body schema – Body Image from each other (and other types of body representation) we come to the conclusion that positive definitions about different representations is needed and that researchers should unite their views what the definitions should be. We also mention a problem based on the possibility on infinite body representations and a solution by a Bayesian model is proposed that looks at the input as well as the output in experiments.

▼ Body image is a human universal which affects the health and well-being of an individual and their ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Results in the field of body image research and its relationship with sports participation have been mixed, meaning that the effect of athletic involvement on body image in unclear. This study uses a sample of 142 adult females to address the question of whether participation in sports, and aesthetic sports in particular, has an effect on body concern. The results of this study indicate no link between participation in sports and body concern in a sample of non-elite-level athletes from a wide spectrum of sports, including aesthetic sports. The results do indicate that a large proportion of the variance in body concern can be explained by psychological and sociocultural variables, age and Body Mass Index. The relationship between these variables and scores on the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) are modelled using structural equation modelling. Advisors/Committee Members: Weiss, Alexander.

▼ Aims: Similarly to traditional mass media, social media use has recently been identified as a potential risk factor in negative body image outcomes. Given its numerous uses and applications, it is important to investigate which specific aspects of social media and the way it is used influences body image. Social comparison has been identified as a possible mechanism by which the influence of exposure to social media impacts upon body image. Unprecedented twenty-four-hour access to photographs of others has led to increased opportunities for making social comparisons. Therefore, the aim of the first chapter of this research portfolio is to systematically collect and review research conducted thus far on the impact of using Instagram, a photo-based, social media platform on body image outcomes. The second aim, addressed through an empirical approach, investigates whether exposure to appearance-based Instagram content, impacts upon body dissatisfaction and negative mood in a group of adolescent females, a population at increased vulnerability to body image concerns, and who demonstrate increased social comparison. Method: A systematic review of the current literature was carried out to address the first aim of this project. This included a review of 13 quantitative studies which all examined the effects of Instagram on body image outcomes. To address the second aim, 225 female adolescents completed an online experiment, after being randomly allocated to one of three conditions; exposure to Instagram images of attractive female celebrities; exposure to Instagram images of attractive non-familiar peers; and exposure to non-appearance-based Instagram images of travel. Both prior to and post exposure, participants were asked to complete measures of state mood and body dissatisfaction. A measure of trait self-esteem was also taken to investigate whether this construct acts as a moderator in the relationship between exposure to the celebrity and peer images and body dissatisfaction. Results: The systematic review highlighted a significant relationship between certain elements of Instagram use and various body image outcomes. Findings from experimental studies suggest the type of images one is exposed to, particularly images of others, impacts negatively upon body image. However, there were some inconsistencies in findings across studies reviewed. Results also suggest that social comparison plays a moderating role between Instagram use, and appearance dissatisfaction with other individual characteristics, such as one's appearance self-schema also implicated. Further research is recommended. Within the empirical project, multiple hierarchical regression revealed that adolescent females exposed to images of attractive celebrities and unfamiliar peers experience a significant increase in body and appearance dissatisfaction, and a significant increase in negative mood in comparison to those exposed to non-appearance-based images. There was no significant difference between the celebrity and peer image exposure groups. A moderation…

▼ A growing literature demonstrates that intrusive imagery features across several psychopathologies and reflects idiosyncratic fears of the individual. In some cases it appears to maintain disorder-specific behaviours. Surprisingly, limited research has focused on imagery in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a disorder in which negative imagery is thought to be critical in disorder maintenance (Veale, 2004). The overarching aim of the current thesis was to address this gap in the BDD literature by investigating the phenomenology of negative intrusive imagery and its association with pathological cognitions and processes. In Study 1, I documented appearance-related intrusive imagery reported by undergraduates high in dysmorphic concern, and explored the predictive value of image suppression on dysmorphic concern. Images were frequent and negative, often utilised the observer perspective, and were highly social in nature. Image suppression also predicted dysmorphic concern. In Study 2, I similarly documented intrusive imagery reported by clinical BDD participants. Results were comparable to Study 1, where images were also frequent, negative, often utilised the observer perspective, and were highly social in nature. A comparison of image content with literature-derived themes also confirmed that reports reflected typical BDD concerns and behaviours. In Study 3, I experimentally induced negative intrusive images in undergraduates, and found that image suppression reduced intrusion frequency, duration and discomfort. The study also showed that dysmorphic concern is associated with increased vividness and discomfort during intrusions, and with increased disgust and internalisation of distorted information about appearance. In Study 4, I investigated the relationship between dysmorphic concern and selective attention to faces, attractive and unattractive appearance-related stimuli, and disgusting stimuli. Dysmorphic concern was positively associated with attention to faces and attractive stimuli when attention occurred within conscious awareness, and was positively associated with attention to disgusting stimuli when attention occurred more automatically. This program of research provided much needed qualitative documentation of intrusive imagery within the context of BDD and offers some insights into the ways in which intrusive images may maintain this debilitating disorder. Clinical implications of these findings are also discussed, particularly with respect to the utility of treatment strategies directly targeting imagery.

▼ Making sense of experiences of eating is a topic of significant value in today's food and weight fixated society. Eating experiences relate to a number of psychological concepts, particularly how a person views their body, and their sense of self. The following study was undertaken to determine the effect to which experiences of eating influence a person's sense of self identity. The influences that experiences of eating (for example deprivation, overindulgence) have on a person's sense of identity was investigated. Six participants with a mean age of 20, who were willing to speak freely about their experiences of eating, were interviewed using the method of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). A range of themes, drawing the closest parallels with eating experiences were brought to light in this investigation, specifically involving moods and emotions, relationships, identity and personality and external influences, demonstrating that experiences of eating do have a considerable impact on self identity of the participants.

▼ The purpose of this study was to identify significant differences in body composition, body cathexis, and attitudes toward obesity of women in various age groups involved in different levels of physical exercise. A total of 216 women, ranging in age from 17 to 64, took part in this study. They were classified into three age groups: col legeage, beyond college-age, and middle-aged, then further divided into three exercise categories: very active, moderately active, and relatively inactive. All subjects completed the Physical Activity and Body Cathexis Survey. Then the subjects submitted themselves to a series of skinfold fat measurement. In determining the subjects' feelings toward their bodies, the Secord and Jourard's Body Cathexis Scale (1953) was utilized to collect the data. Bray's Obesity Attitude Scale (1973) was employed to investigate the subjects' attitudes toward obesity. The prediction equation developed by Jackson et al. (1980) was used to determine the subjects' body density. The measurements were taken at triceps,thigh, and suprailium skinfolds. The percentage of body fat was derived from the formula of Siri's (1961). The results indicated that the middle-aged women had a higher percentage of body fat and lower amount of lean body mass than the beyond college-age women. There was, however, no significant difference between the body composition of the col lege-age and the beyond college-age women. Different levels of physical activity performed by women had significant effects on their body fat percentage and their body cathexis. Subjects in the very active level of physical exercise showed the lowest percentage of body fat and the most positive attitudes toward their bodies. Attitudes toward obesity between women, young or old, exercising or not exercising, were not significantly different. Women's obesity attitudes were not affected by either age or levels of physical activity. Advisors/Committee Members: Flath, Arnold W. (advisor), Wood, Carvel (committee member).

▼ This study investigates the body image experiences unique to collegiate female athletes in connection with their apparel wear. Both their athletic apparel and the apparel they wear outside of their athletic environment are addressed. Female athlete participants were categorized as lean sport or non-lean sport athletes. Lean sports are those in which athletes place a competitive and/or aesthetic value on leanness; Non-lean sports are those in which body weight and aesthetic appearance are less central to athletic success. For Phase I of this study, 36 NCAA Division I collegiate female athletes participated in in-person interviews, body image survey collection (Stunkard Figure Rating Scale and Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire), photography of garment fit concerns, and 3D body scanning for anthropometric data collection. Lean sports included cross country and rowing (coxswains); Non-lean sports included basketball and volleyball. Phase II involved the data analysis of Phase I female athletes' anthropometric data obtained from 3D body scanning. During Phase III of this study, collegiate female athletes and collegiate female non-athletes completed the MBSRQ through Qualtrics. MBSRQ results from Phase I were combined with Phase III data for a total of 78 collegiate female athletes (lean36, non-lean-42) and 101 collegiate female non-athletes represent. Lean sports represented include: cross country, equestrian, gymnastics, rowing (coxswains), swimming and diving, track and field (running events). Non-lean sports include basketball, fencing, field hockey, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball. Results indicate no significant difference in body image between lean and non-lean sports groups but high body image scores in comparison to non-athletes. Anthropometric data analysis revealed similar body proportions and shape between lean and non-lean sports groups supporting similar garment fit concerns discussed in Phase I of this study.

▼ This study, collaborated equally by both researchers, explored social work students' attitudes, beliefs, and experiences related to body size and body image. A self-report survey was developed and employed through a web-based service. Data were collected from 115 (44 first year and 71 second year) Masters in social work students from California State University, Sacramento. Beyond descriptive analysis, Pearson's r correlations as well as linear regression were utilized to analyze the study's data. Results indicate that there is an association between participants' own weight issues and their beliefs related to overweight people's health, happiness, and self-confidence. This study concludes that issues relating to body size and body image are important social work topics. Advisors/Committee Members: Alameda-Lawson, Tania.

▼ Women and their body image have been a focus for research throughout the latter part of the twentieth century; however, rarely does that research extend to women who may experience different lives through their identification as intellectually disabled. This doctoral thesis addresses a gap in understanding the way that New Zealand women with intellectual disability perceive their bodies and the historical, cultural and social influences affecting their perception. Twenty-five women ranging in age from 21 to 65 years provided the data for this study. All women identified as having an intellectual disability and received some support to live with various levels of independence. Each woman participated in three interviews. Body image questions were included in semi- structured interview guidelines that explored aspects of the woman's past and current life. An interpretive constructivist approach was taken to understanding the women's perception of their bodies. The information that the women shared has been viewed through a critical lens informed by both feminist and disability scholars. Thus the construction of the women's bodies is interpreted rather than their own. In order to develop the construction, the interview transcripts of each woman were analysed from two perspectives. Firstly, the woman's data were rewritten into her "story", providing a preliminary understanding of how she constructed her body image. Secondly, all interviews were coded and themed utilising Braun and Clarke's (Braun & Clarke, 2006) framework. This process provided a way to engage with the data and draw out the significant points that informed the women's construction of their body. The identification of three themes, "beauty and the body", "a fit and functional body" and "a gendered body" that provide discrete perceptions of the women's body, supports the contemporary view of multiple body images. Further analysis of the women's body image suggested interplay between internal and external factors. Most women compared their body size to social standards of weight. Less typical of other women was their emphasis on their clean and tidy body as representing their competence and the comparatively infrequent and limited use of beauty practices. For many of the women, sexuality was ignored or controlled. Lacan's (2002) mirror stage, as an explanation of the psychological development of body image, is utilised to integrate an embodied conception of the women's body image. Finally, and importantly for disability research, the idea of "becoming" is utilised to explore how the women are limited or perceive few possibilities for self-expression through their body. Through examining both possibilities and limitations the research gives direction to future policy and practice that impact on the lives of women with intellectual disability.

▼ Architecture is more than just an object, and we are more than just a subject. This commonly perceived relationship between body and architecture is the result of representation. Over time, this model has reduced common understanding of architecture to an image, and we, as eyes which view it. This attitude is more prevalent than ever as our society is dominated by screens exploiting images which we consume at face value. The intention of this is thesis to critique the distanced and sterile relationship between body and image through the affective lens. This thesis approaches research in two ways; 'research for design' and 'research through design'. The former begins by understanding the role of the body and image in affective discourse and examines a few case studies which employ these positions. Juhani Palasmaa argues for the acknowledgement of the body as one which is active, visceral and experiential and as such, architecture must be designed accordingly. The case study on Diller and Scofidio's 'projectories' highlights how the image can offer affective qualities when used correctly. These are key arguments identified in the research for design phase and is referred to a source material throughout the duration of the research. 'Research through design' extends these positions towards the body and image through three design tests. Each of these tests increase in scale which is the methodology used throughout this thesis. The increase of each scale poses the need for more architectural complexity. The installation focuses on how a sense of embodiment can be intensified through design while the domestic scale explores how images can be re-appraised to offer an affective charge. In the public scale test, both these ideas are developed through a train station design which offers an experience that engages the body through re-appraised images. This thesis results in a speculative design which offers a relationship between body and image that departs from the static representational model. It aims to "re-present representation".

▼ The purpose of this study is to determine whether viewing photos of muscular men or viewing photos of toned men produces greater body dissatisfaction scores for male college students. Prior to receiving the intervention, participants completed a pretest measuring their body satisfaction. The intervention was administered in a group setting and took approximately 30 minutes to administer. After receiving the intervention, participants completed the same assessment measures as the pre-test, but in a post-test form. Results indicate that there was a significant difference between pre-test and posttest body satisfaction ratings for men who viewed muscle photos and mend who viewed toned photos. This study contributes to a growing area of body image and Body Dysmorphic Disorder research in men. It also provides evidence for the benefits of addressing body satisfaction during the treatment of Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

▼ Body image is an important aspect of identity, with body image dissatisfaction related to many negative experiences such as depression and low self-esteem. Pregnancy is a time of rapid and substantial change for women's bodies, yet it is not well understood how body image is experienced either during pregnancy or in the postpartum. Given that body image dissatisfaction is more prevalent among women than men, it is important to consider this important life transition and the way body image may be experienced. Sixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted among women either in late pregnancy or in the first year postpartum to explore their experiences of body image during and after pregnancy. Thematic analysis resulted in six major themes, which encapsulate the variety of experiences among women. There is variation among women's experiences that is influenced by a range of other factors. Most women felt overall positively about their bodies during pregnancy, but there were some negative aspects and different experiences. In the postpartum, most women were dissatisfied with their bodies, although the importance of this differed. Factors that influenced the way women felt included the transition to motherhood, the media, and past/present social interactions. This exploratory study provides insight into the way 16 women experienced body image through pregnancy and the postpartum to contribute to this relatively limited research area. Many areas for future study have been identified. Advisors/Committee Members: Barber, Carrie (advisor), Curtis, Cate (advisor).

▼ With earlier detection and improved treatment techniques for breast cancer, more women are surviving breast cancer only to be presented with the challenge of coping with negative physical and psychological adjustments. One major challenge breast cancer survivors face is a decreased body image. Women who undergo breast cancer surgery report a lower body image when compared to women without breast cancer surgery (Kraus, 1999). Research has shown that physical activity can facilitate better psychological outcomes, including improved body image in college-aged females (Fisher & Thompson, 1994). The present study examined the relationship between physical activity and body image in breast cancer survivors (M age = 63.3, SD = 7.3), as well as the mediational role of secondary variables of interest (body mass index, grip strength, and appearance self-efficacy) in the physical activity-body image relationship. Body image was operationalized as the anxiety an individual experiences when she feels her physique is being evaluated in a negative manner, or social physique anxiety (Hart, Leary, & Rejeski, 1989). Physical activity participation was inversely related to social physique anxiety (SPA; r = -.457, p<.01). However, the examined mechanisms were not significant mediators of the physical activity and social physique anxeity relationship. The relationship between physical activity and social physique anxiety demonstrates the role physical activity may play in decreasing body image disturbances in breast cancer survivors. Further, the physical activity-body image relationship should be an area of concentration in breast cancer survivors in an attempt to help increase breast cancer survivors' quality of life.

▼ This research contributes to the scholarly fields of sport and health sociology and their parent discipline sociology by exploring the phenomenological experiences of three young men living in Sydney, Australia (aged 20-25). I examine how they construct and (re) construct their selves through various bodily practices (e.g. exercise, diet, grooming) to achieve the 'ideal' male body and persona during their early adulthood lives. Informed by a social constructionist perspective, I explore these young men's experiences of their bodies using ethnographic research methods (e.g. life histories, visual diaries, interviews and surveys) and draw on a variety of theoretical resources particularly those in relation to Crossley's (2005) reflexive body techniques, which encompas Bourdieu's concepts of capital, habitus and field and Merleau Ponty's theory of phenomenology of perception. I also explore the various social structures that influence the choices the young men make in changing their physiques and the effects these have on their health and well-being. Whilst acknowledging that these individuals have a sense of agency in choosing the kind of body and identity that they want to create, their perceived sense of agency is inevitably influenced by the discourses circulating within the contexts in which they live. These discourses include those derived from sport, health and medicine, masculinity, politics/government, education, class, sexuality and the media. Futher, the growth of the sports supplementation industry, the growth of the fitness and gym industry, the rise of the naked/semi naked 'aestheticathletic' male body in the media, the use of image enhancing drugs like steroids, illegal drug trade and importation of drugs, increased mental health issues and the increased rates of selfharm are phenomena that can and do shape how young men feel about their bodies and the practices they choose to engage in to shape them up. This thesis affords a unique glimpse into the day to day reflexive body techniques of three young men, and argues that their personalities, thoughts, bodies and identities exist within within a complex multidimensional social web, which ultimately influences how their biological embodied self can be rejected, (re) structured, hidden, constrained, controlled and presented.

Body Image Disturbance (BID) is "a distortion in how an individual's body weight or shape is experienced" (Carney & Scott, 2011, p. 291). It is associated with a number of negative consequences including eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa. The present study aimed to address BID preventatively by mediating a psychoeducational girls' group designed to increase awareness about the social media and its influence on self-esteem and body image. The researcher hypothesized that participants would show decreased levels of sociocultural internalization and physical appearance comparison and increased levels of self-esteem after comparing pre and post intervention questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were used to interpret information collected from surveys and written reflections of the group experience. The data collected from the study was largely limited as a result of a small sample size and its inability to record longitudinal effects. The findings of this research suggest that the girls' group may have led to decreased levels of sociocultural internalization and physical comparison while increasing levels of self-esteem. Future research is needed to evaluate programs that are effective in increasing protective factors against BID and the negative effects of social media.

▼ This study explored the impact and trauma that a cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment can have on a women's image and experience of her body. Focus group methodology was part of the qualitative art-based research approach. Since the research was focused on body image, the participants were asked to create art based on their experience of their body before and after cancer treatment. Content analysis was applied to the transcripts of the focus group sessio n to consider themes. The clusters were then correlated with the imagery in the participants' artwork. The study results suggest that women who have undergone medical treatment for cancer have an altered view of their body image including fragmentation of the body, scarring and disfigurement, censoring of the body and feeling less feminine. The study asserts that the art process and discussion, in a therapeutic setting, provided a supportive environment for cancer patients to discuss sensitive information about their perspectives of their body, diagnosis and treatment.

▼ Media is now a part of the early childhood world. In many countries, including industrialized and developing countries, children spend more time consuming various kinds of media. The impact of media on children's perception of their body images has been and continues to be a concern of parents and early childhood professionals. This research examined the influence of Disney movies on Thai kindergarten girls' body images and self-esteem. Thai kindergarten girls completed three measures of body self-image: the Body Figure Preference Scale, the Body Esteem Scale, and the Self-Esteem Scale. The girl participants were randomly assigned to two groups: focused on a female theme (FFT) and focused on a non-human theme (FNT). The experimental group viewed "female" Disney movie themes, while the control group viewed "animal" Disney movie themes. Girls in the experimental group expressed greater body image dissatisfaction scores after watching Disney movies, which was an expected finding. Results from the present study suggest that girls in both groups become concerned about their body esteem after video exposure. However, there was no significant difference in self-esteem between girls in FFT and FNT. In summary, the findings of this study support the belief that Disney movies influence young girls' perceptions of their body image, and they have an awareness of their body size. It can be concluded that Disney movies have an influence on Thai girls' body image dissatisfaction and body esteem. The results also indicated that Thai girls are not totally aware of the influence of Disney media on their self-esteem. Understanding how Disney movies, in particular, and other media, in general, influence young children, especially girls, can encourage parents and educators to identify risk factors associated with children's body image dissatisfaction and low self-esteem.

▼ Grounded Theory and thematic analysis were utilized to examine interview responses from Mexican and Mexican American adolescent females with obesity, their mothers, and when possible, their grandmothers, regarding the messages the adolescents have received about their physical appearance and body size. The adolescents were receiving services at a weight management program at the time of their involvement in the study. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with nine Spanish/English-speaking adolescents and their maternal caregivers (comprised of nine mothers and three grandmothers), transcribed verbatim, and translated from Spanish to English, where applicable. Data of nine mother-adolescent dyads analyzed using Grounded Theory was a model illustrating the process by which these adolescents receive messages about their physical appearance and body size, the manner in which adolescents navigate these messages, and their mother's role in the process. Results suggest that the adolescents receive dialectical messages of "being overweight is undesirable" and "accept yourself" and that they originate from various sources (e.g., their mother, other family members, peers and friends, and medical professionals). In addition, the messages are reflective of the contexts of media, culture, and their status as an adolescent receiving treatment for obesity. Further, the data revealed that the mothers utilize a behavior of constant vigilance around their daughters and also use themselves as models to provide these messages to their daughters, both in direct and indirect ways. And finally the data indicated that the dialectical messages the adolescents receive elicit emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reactions, as well as influence their body image self-schema. Thematic analysis of the three mother-adolescent-grandmother triads included the themes of "messages provided/received" regarding physical appearance and body size, and "maternal caregiver relationship dynamics" within the mother-grandmother dyad data. Implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Tharinger, Deborah J.

▼ An important area of research that has emerged is the assessment of factors that contribute to the male population's preoccupation with body image. The purpose of this study was to determine if perceived body image plays a different role in predicted life success for younger adult males (18-24 years old) or older adult males (25+). Expanding on research (Buss, 2002) that focused on personal qualities men find significantly more important for the success of their gender (outside of physical body image). It was predicted that because young men attending college may not have been afforded the opportunity to obtain success in other areas of their lives such as occupational, income, or marital achievements, body image would play a more important role in their overall evaluation of life success. 2) It was also predicted that older men would place less emphasis on body image. General research questions included: 1) Is there a significant relationship between the age groups on BMI and body image satisfaction? 2) What is the importance and motivation for exercise across the age groups? This final general research question was the only one supported by the data. Individuals who were motivated to exercise because they wanted to lose weight were more likely to have lower BIQLI scores.

▼ Body Displacement Theory posits that individuals with eating and weight concerns may mislabel feelings of ineffectiveness as feeling fat. Study 1used a non-clinical sample to create an Implicit Association Test for body image (IAT-BI) to measure implicit body dissatisfaction, as body displacement is thought to be an automatic cognitive/affective process. The IAT-BI was moderately and significantly correlated with explicit measures of body dissatisfaction, body shame, and restrained eating. In Study 2, an experimental manipulation was used to induce ineffectiveness in a non-clinical sample, and effects on implicit and explicit body image and related variables were measured. Contrary to hypotheses, feeling ineffective did not lead to feeling fat in comparison to those in a control condition. These findings may suggest that body displacement was not successfully induced by the manipulation, or that body displacement may be process unique to those with eating disorders. The implications of the study are discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Ryerson University (Degree grantor).

Muslims in Enugu State on Friday unanimously endorsed Governor Ifeanyi Ugwunayi for a second term in office for promoting peace, security, national unity and good governance in the state. Rising from the Jumat prayers commemorating this year's Democracy Day held at the Central Mosque, Owerri Road, Enugu, which was attended by Gov. Ugwuanyi in company of his deputy, Mrs. Cecilia Ezeilo, Leader, Enugu State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Ikechukwu Ezeugwu, among other top government functionaries, the Muslim faithful said they were pleased with the governor for his special love for the Muslim community.
The Muslins who offered special prayers for Gov. Ugwuanyi, Enugu State and the country at large, added that they were impressed with the governor's humble disposition towards them and the entire people of the state. They told Gov. Ugwuanyi that "no governor loves Muslims more than you", stressing that they were solidly behind his re-election in 2019 and will vote for him massively.
Speaking, the Sarki Hausawa, Enugu State, HRH Alhaji Yusuf Abubakar Sambo, who is also a member of the state's Security and Peace Committee, informed Gov. Ugwuanyi that "we have cause to thank Allah for the fact that you have established the most essential aspect of governance that is security of lives and property".
Alhaji Sambo stressed that the Muslim community in the state has every reason to celebrate, saying "Allah has given us a man with humility, with love for all residents of Enugu State and a special love for the Muslim community".
Alhaji Sambo disclosed that the Jumat prayers called for celebration in appreciation of "19 years of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria and three years of sustained peace and good governance in Enugu State". He thanked the governor for the food items provided for the breaking of fast, saying: "You have handed Enugu State to the hands of Almighty Allah, and He says whoever entrusts in Him, he will lead his way and Insha Allah, Allah will lead your way", he said.
Responding, Gov. Ugwuanyi thanked the Muslims for their prayers for his administration and the country, assuring that the state would remain peaceful and secure for every resident irrespective of tribe or religious differences. The Commissioner of Police, Enugu State, Alhaji Danmallam Mohammed was also at the event.

How Brexit Will Affect Bingo Companies
Written by	Chris Baxter
Whether you voted for or against Brexit, the British exit from the European Union, it feels like an end-game is in sight. At the time of writing, the UK and EU governments are meeting constantly to try and find a deal before a UK exit on the 31st October, 2019.
One thing that confuses many people, though, is what the industry impacts will be. With so little known about Brexit and its consequences, industries such as online gaming are beginning to worry.
What, though, do we know about how Brexit will impact on bingo companies?
With the rise of bingo in the UK both online and offline once again, many people aren't too sure what the future will hold for being able to shout "HOUSE!". While the information is as thin on the ground here as it is for most other industries, we've tried to piece together what kind of information we can find about what Brexit will do to the local bingo industry. So, what can you expect to see change if/when Brexit happens?
The uncertainty is stifling
The main thing that we know is that nobody knows what will happen. Other tech industries like this, though, are beginning to worry that Brexit might bring the worst changes possible. It's already been seen as a major negative within the video games industry, and concerns exist that we could see a bit of a sell-off when it comes to the online bingo industry and offline bingo industries when Brexit actually takes places.
Mainland presence could decline
You might need to get used to playing your bingo online on sites like Trustedbingo.co.uk, though, as it's expected that mainland influence could fall down for many of the major bingo hosts. This would be a major blow, as it could be quite a kick in the teeth to a game that has already enjoyed a strong revival in the last few years
One thing to keep in mind, though, is that nobody knows for certain. Like everything else in Brexit, the answers that are being given have to be taken with a pinch of salt and uncertainty.
Could we see more gaming and gambling?
Of course, we have one major alternative here: gaming and gambling could see a massive boon. Given the legislative debates that take place over UK casino gaming, it's easy to see why some could see Brexit actually boost the industry. With the deregulation that could take place, more and more bingo sites could get involved in the country – potentially creating more jobs, not less.
Online gaming could get easier
One thing to note is that online bingo gaming might get easier, with more competition likely to appear. With the UK likely to pull out of many of the treaties the EU has them part of, including their fight to make online gambling and online bingo far more regulated, this could mean that more companies get involved in the UK bingo scene.
At the moment, nobody is really sure what the future holds. For now, the prognosis appears to be as equally positive as it does bleak. Like anything else with Brexit, it's a wait and see issue. It's not greatly comforting, but it's the way of many industries at present.

Our family doesn't drink alcohol so the only time I cook with wine is after hosting a dinner party. I used leftover Cabernet Sauvignon wine and prepared coq au vin (chicken in wine sauce) for the occasion, except that instead of whole chickens I adapted the recipe with 9 pounds of chicken breasts.
The sauce was fairly standard; I used pearl onions, garlic, button mushrooms, turkey bacon, red wine, Cognac brandy, a bit of flour as the thickening agent and the authentic, standard bouquet garni used in classic French dishes. The secret in this coq au vin sauce lies in the dark chocolate that's added once the dish is cooked.
Cannellini bean soup is an easy dish I can whip up in no time. It's also a meal I can be sure everyone is going to enjoy. It's vegetarian, it contains no major food allergens and even baby Aria can eat it easily.
I try to always have fresh greens in my refrigerator. I usually toss them in a simple salad, I also make pesto or use them as garnish for appetizers, pizza and sandwiches. The addition of arugula at the last minute provides color and a peppery flavor to the otherwise fairly bland, pale soup. To ensure the nutrients of the arugula were still intact, I added finely chopped arugula only at the last minute, so it barely wilted in the soup.
