Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast-growing population currently in the United States is the Latinx community. Currently, Latina women are experiencing equivalent rates of body dissatisfaction, negative self-image, development of eating disorders and other mental health disorders due to beauty standards, social media platforms, and more. This study investigates how the use of social media and Western/Latinx beauty standards impact the development of body dissatisfaction among Latina women. This study also investigates how body dissatisfaction in Latina women formulates behaviors and symptoms pertaining to depression and a possible eating disorder. The study consisted of the distribution of an online survey consisting of 15 questions that measured body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, use of social media platforms, Western and Latinx beauty standards, and characteristics pertaining to depression and eating disorders. The sample comprised of 113 participants. Multiple regressions were utilized for statistical analysis. The results from the data collected indicated that the age of participants played a significant role when considering body dissatisfaction, beauty standards, self-esteem, and depression. Further, results also demonstrated that body dissatisfaction and self-esteem were significant predictors in the development of eating disorders among the participants. However, the data did not support if social media or beauty standards intensified body dissatisfaction among the participants. The research implications highlight that the age of the participants was a significant predictor contributing to body dissatisfaction among Latina women. However, further research must be conducted to learn what other contributing factors aside from age increase body dissatisfaction.
Download or read book Guide to Psychological Assessment with Hispanics written by Lorraine T. Benuto and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-19 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on diversity, culture, and ethnicity as they relate to psychological assessment of Hispanics. It is a how-to guide for clinicians, researchers, and instructors working with Hispanic clients. Each chapter contains an overview of cultural considerations needed for assessing the Hispanic client followed by a specific exploration of the assessment measures available and the research that has been conducted on these measures with Hispanic participants. An exploration of the strengths and limitations of each assessment measure is included. Considering that ethnocultural minority individuals who are of Hispanic/Latino origin make up the largest ethnocultural minority group in the United States, guidelines for working with this population are a must. Given that a large subset of this percentage is composed of immigrants many of whom do not speak English or who have learned English as a second language, special considerations for effective psychological assessment are neccessary.This book fills a gap in the scientific literature by consolidating the research on psychological assessment with Hispanic samples into one comprehensive volume and providing simple recommendations for the psychological assessment of Hispanic clients. An exploration of the general psychological assessment domains (e.g., personality, intelligence) is included with references to research on the major assessment measures used in the field. A more specific exploration of psychodiagnostic assessment measures follows, including the assessment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, sexual dysfunction, psychosis, etc. Several chapters are dedicated to specialized assessment, including neuropsychological assessment, forensic assessment, and school-based assessment, overall creating the most comprehensive, up-to-date, research-based compendium of psychological assessment measures for use with Hispanic clients.

Download or read book One Size Fits All written by Elysia Georges Sotiriou and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite high reports of body-image related pathology in Latinas, how traditional cultural factors contribute to body dissatisfaction and eating disorder etiology is unknown. Current conceptualizations of eating disorder etiology, developed from studies on predominantly White women, reflect the Anglo-American experience. Examining the negotiation between Latino and American sociocultural ideals and influences is imperative to understanding culture’s impact on body-image pathology. A hierarchical regression will be utilized where acculturation and cultural values will serve as predictors of body dissatisfaction and eating disorder risk in a sample of Latina college students. Failure to understand culturally-specific Latino influences perpetuates under-identification of EDs and comorbidities as well as inability to develop culturally-competent interventions

Download or read book Body Shame written by Paul Gilbert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical appearance plays a powerful role in social relationships. Those who feel shame regarding the way they look, and who think others view their appearance negatively, can therefore be vulnerable to impoverished social relationships and a range of psychological difficulties. However, there are a few books which look specifically at the many permutations of body shame and their differing treatments. In this book, researchers and therapists from a wide range of different disciplines and areas explore the role of shame in various physical and psychological disorders, and provide practical advice on management and treatment. Chapters are organised to address issues of conceptualisation, assessment and treatment, on topics such as: * definitional controversies * possible biopsychosocial and evolutionary origins of body shame * effects on adjustment to maturation and aging process * specific forms of disfigurement * the role of body shame in depression, eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder. Body Shame gives the reader insight into the nature and mechanisms of shame, how it can focus on the body, how it can underlie a variety of psychological difficulties, and how to intervene to help resolve it. This book will be invaluable for practitioners from different disciplines working with people who have problems centred on their physical appearance and/or functions, and clinicians working with various mental health problems.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of the International Psychology of Women written by Fanny M. Cheung and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 1524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing knowledge base in understanding the differences and similarities between women and men, as well as the diversities among women and sexualities. Although genetic and biological characteristics define human beings conventionally as women and men, their experiences are contextualized in multiple dimensions in terms of gender, sexuality, class, age, ethnicity, and other social dimensions. Beyond the biological and genetic basis of gender differences, gender intersects with culture and other social locations which affect the socialization and development of women across their life span. This handbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date resource to understand the intersectionality of gender differences, to dispel myths, and to examine gender-relevant as well as culturally relevant implications and appropriate interventions. Featuring a truly international mix of contributors, and incorporating cross-cultural research and comparative perspectives, this handbook will inform mainstream psychology of the international literature on the psychology of women and gender.
