Gender And Social Acceptance Of Immigrants In A New Destination Site, Emma Meade Earl
Gender And Social Acceptance Of Immigrants In A New Destination Site, Emma Meade Earl
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In this article, I draw on secondary interview data with LatinX immigrants in Cache Valley, Utah, an emerging new destination site in the Inter-Mountain West.

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
This article reviews the rate of body dissatisfaction and weight bias among young children. It was initially hypothesized that body-image begins much earlier than adolescence, where most interventions take place.

Results suggested that weight bias begins around three years of age, while body dissatisfaction begins around age five for girls, and seven for boys. Rates of body dissatisfaction among children were similar to the rate among adolescents, averaging out …
