Shalom! I am a doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at the University of Iowa. I am interested in studying the experiences of female Jewish students attending colleges or universities. Jewish women have been virtually ignored in the empirical literature on body image despite literature to suggest that Jewish females experience body dissatisfaction. I would appreciate your consideration of my research study.  For more information, please click below.

Who qualifies?

I invite you to participate in this study if you identify as a Jewish American female, age 18 or older, enrolled in a college or university, and at least one of your parents is Jewish.

What is involved?

Participation includes completing a demographic questionnaire and questionnaires related to your Jewish identity, influence of significant adult figures in your life, media influences on physical appearance, and body image. You will complete the surveys by marking your responses on-line. Each participant will have the opportunity to be entered in a drawing for one of four $25.00 gift certificates to Amazon.com. Participation in this study is completely voluntary and confidential.

If you agree to take part in this survey, your involvement will last for approximately 15-20 minutes.
