Job Description

Negative body image and eating disorders werehistorically characterised as culture-bound experiences, primarily afflictingwomen in high-income, industrialized, and Western societies. However, reportsof high rates of negative body image and disordered eating globally havechanged this perspective. One factor that may increase the risk of negativebody image is cultural change (e.g., via transcultural migration). According tothis hypothesis, eating disorders are more likely to develop because of thehigh levels of stress associated with cultural change. However, few studieshave directly tested this hypothesis and available data tends to becross-sectional in nature.

Requirements

We seek a PhD student with an interest incross-cultural psychology to advance existing research on the effects oftranscultural migration on negative body image and disordered eating. Thesuccessful candidate will conduct longitudinal research that seeks to examinethe long-term impact that migration across cultures has on symptoms ofdisordered eating and aspects of body image.
