Book The Effects of Acculturation Familism Media and Trait Self objectification on Body Image Concerns of Hispanic and Caucasian Women

Download or read book The Effects of Acculturation Familism Media and Trait Self objectification on Body Image Concerns of Hispanic and Caucasian Women written by Rachel Dickerson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study sought to expand the understanding of the differences between Hispanic and Caucasian women in regards to body image. The predominant thought in body image research appears to be that women of an ethnic minority do not internalize media images to the same level as Caucasian women, and therefore do not experience the same level of dissatisfaction if this ideal is not met. However, the results of this study yielded no significant differences between Hispanics and Caucasians on levels of either trait self-objectification or internalization. Past research had shown that familism and level of acculturation could buffer against negative body esteem, and it was hypothesized that those factors would act as buffers among Hispanic participants. However, correlation analyses for this study found that neither familism nor level of acculturation acted as a buffer among Hispanic participants. There were no significant correlations between body esteem and trait self-objectification, internalization, familism, and acculturation. Furthermore, this study examined how varying levels of skin exposure in pictures affected a woman's level of body esteem. Results yielded no main effect of condition on level of body esteem. It is possible these results are due to the lack of difference between the two ethnicities in regards to internalization and trait self-objectification. Unrealistic media images may have become so pervasive, that the traditional, assumed protective factors of ethnicity and culture are no longer efficacious.

Book Acculturation and the Body Image of Alaska Native Women

Download or read book Acculturation and the Body Image of Alaska Native Women written by Travis Williams and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study examined the way acculturation affects Alaska Native women's body perception. A secondary goal was to establish an understanding of interactions of native peoples with the majority society. Little research has been conducted regarding the ways in which indigenous people are affected by societal norms, although much research has identified how immigrant people groups are affected. It was hypothesized that while the ideal body image of both cultures may be similar as a result of adherence to cultural norms, the Alaska Native sample would be more accepting of their bodies than the White Alaskan sample. It was hypothesized for this study that the more acculturated Alaska Native women to Western culture, the more likely they would be to have a similar ideal body image to that of the majority culture. This study used two sample groups, one Native Alaskan women and the other White Alaskan women. Both sample groups were asked to use the Body Image Assessment -- Obesity (BIA-O) to measure their perceived ideal body image and the body shape closest to their own body image. The Alaska Native group was also asked to fill out a Cultural Lifestyle Inventory (CLI) which assessed their level of acculturation. The scores on the BIA-O and the CLI were then compared to determine if the level of acculturation had an effect on the body images of the Alaska Natives. Further, the Alaska Native group's BIA-O scores were compared to the White Alaskan sample group to determine if there was a difference in perceived ideal body image between the groups. The results suggest there is a significant difference between how Alaska Native women perceive their ideal body types and how White women perceive their ideal body type. There is also some suggestion that the level of acculturation is a predictor in ideal body image for the Alaska Native women. Therefore, Western acculturation appears to be a significant determinant of body image. This suggests some adherence to the majority culture by the Alaska Native women living in urban settings"--Leaves iii-iv.

Book The Cambridge Handbook of the International Psychology of Women

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.

Book A Study of the Relationship of Acculturation and Body Image of Mexican American Women Attending College

Download or read book A Study of the Relationship of Acculturation and Body Image of Mexican American Women Attending College written by Rebekah Ruth Pender and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering all the areas of Hispanic acculturation impacts (e.g. beliefs, values, academic performance, socialization, etc.), a natural extension of that influence would be to body image. With that in mind, this study explored the relationship between the body image and level of acculturation of Mexican American females attending a private university in South Texas. The current research utilized over 100 (N=116) Mexican American women attending college, ages 18-52, in a correlational study. Measures administered in this study were the Figure Rating Scale (FRS) that assessment the perceived current and ideal figure rating of the participant toward her own body, the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (BAS) that assessed participant level of acculturation, and a brief demographic survey developed by the researcher to categorize participants based on their Body Mass Index (BMI). This study assessed four null hypotheses regarding the body image, acculturation and Body Mass Index (BMI) of the participant volunteers. Of the four hypotheses, the researcher failed to reject null hypothesis 1 and alternative hypotheses 2, 3, and 4. The results of the study yielded no significant Pearson's r correlation between the Figure Rating Scale (FRS) and the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (BAS) as was postulated alternative hypothesis 1. Alternative hypothesis 2 failed to be rejected in that of the population surveyed, 70.69% had a body image discrepancy variable of one or greater and reported a smaller number to represent their ideal figure. Alternative hypothesis 3 also failed to be rejected in that among the total participants, over 98% had averaged score of 2.5 or greater on the BAS. The researcher also failed to reject alternative hypothesis 4 in that the FRS positively correlated with the BMI of the participants surveyed, r=.562, p=.000. These results suggest that further investigation into the body image concerns and acculturation of Mexican American women would be a worthwhile endeavor.

Book African American Acculturation

Download or read book African American Acculturation written by Hope Landrine and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1996-03-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should African Americans be construed as a race or as an ethnic group? If African Americans are defined as an ethnic group, what role does culture play in their lives and how can we measure their culture? This groundbreaking volume argues that we should reject the concept of race and define African Americans as a cultural group. It presents the first scale ever devised for measuring acculturation among African Americans, along with powerful studies that empirically explore the role of culture and acculturation in African American behavior, health, and psychology. Among the authors' findings are how acculturation predicts symptoms, such as depression and anxiety, and physical problems, such as hypertension.
