David Brown is a first year PhD student whose research interests involve investigating the role of body image in various contexts, focusing specifically on the impact of body image concerns on sport and exercise participation, psychophysiology, and health.
David’s research examined psychobiological responses (i.e., cortisol, body shame, and body dissatisfaction) to, and recovery from, a social-evaluative body image threat in university men who were non-athletes and varsity athletes from non-aesthetic sports.
We discussed:
- Men’s body image & the muscular ideal
- Factors contributing to the development of body dissatisfaction
- The relationship between physical activity & body image
- Body Image in sports
- Psychobiological responses to body-specific social evaluative threats
