The problem lies in the fact that the message does not distinguish between realistic standards and unattainable ideals, especially for women.

Experts on eating disorders report that ninety percent of those suffering from anorexia nervosa (self-starvation) are females, ages 13-21, from white ethnic …

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

However, it was difficult to make faculty who were not computer-literate see the usefulness of microcomputers in their work, or to convince them to take advantage of existing staff development programs in computer training. Developing self-directed programs in computer training and basic computer literacy seemed to be …
