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。从广义上讲，我的研究兴趣在于身体感知和偏好的认知过程，以及文化因素在这些过程中的作用，特别是文化适应、社会经济地位、种族和厌恶的道德化机制。这些身体感知和偏好的认知过程可能位于身体不满意的上游，由于它们对女性健康（即饮食、情绪和焦虑症）有重大影响，因此需要进行探索。我打算探索不同种族群体对身体感知和偏好的认知过程，这些过程已被证明是不同的，将身体感知评估为一个人感知到的身体形状和大小，并将身体偏好评估为一个人感知到的形状和大小理想的。我的目标是调查文化适应和社会经济地位（SES）如何调节这种关系，以及厌恶如何同时作为我们文化中的学习、道德和治理机制发挥作用。了解这些过程和促成的文化因素至关重要，以便了解哪些机制在不同社区中可作为保护因素，以及如何在其他社区实施这些机制，从而减少这些过程对妇女健康的影响。
