DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): No thesis selected. Broadly defined, my research interests lie in the cognitive processes of body perception and preference and the role of cultural factors in these processes, specifically acculturation, SES, race, and the moralizing mechanism of disgust. These cognitive processes of body perception and preference, that presumably lie upstream from body dissatisfaction, necessitate exploration due to their significant impact on women's health (i.e., eating, mood, and anxiety disorders). I intend to explore the cognitive processes of body perception and preference across racial groups, which have been shown to differ, assessing body perception as the shape and size one perceives her body to be, and body preference as the shape and size one perceives to be ideal. My goal is to investigate how acculturation and socioeconomic status (SES) moderate this relationship and how disgust simultaneously, operates as a learned, moralizing and governing mechanism in our culture. It is critical to understand these processes and the contributing cultural factors in order to understand what mechanisms serve as protective factors in different communities and how these can be implemented in others, thereby reducing the impact of these processes on women's health.

描述（由申请人提供）：未选择论文。广泛定义的是，我的研究兴趣在于身体感知和偏爱的认知过程以及文化因素在这些过程中的作用，特别是适应性，SES，种族和厌恶的道德机制。这些可能是身体不满意的人体感知和偏爱的认知过程，由于对妇女健康（即饮食，情绪和焦虑症）的重大影响，因此需要探索。我打算探索种族群体的身体感知和偏好的认知过程，这些过程已被证明是不同的，将身体感知视为一种形状和大小，将自己的身体视为自己的身体，而身体的偏好是一个人认为是理想的形状和大小。我的目标是调查适应和社会经济地位（SES）如何调节这种关系，以及同时在我们文化中作为一种学识渊博的，道德和管理机制的厌恶。了解这些过程以及促成文化因素，以了解哪些机制是不同社区的保护因素，以及如何在其他社区中实施这些因素，从而减少了这些过程对妇女健康的影响。
