African American Men's Female Body Size Preferences Based on Racial Identity and Environment
Meshreki, Lotus M.; Hansen, Catherine E.
Journal of Black Psychology, v30 n4 p451-476 2004
Racial identity attitude has become a popular research topic. Primary purposes of this study were twofold: (a) assessing the effects of college environment on racial identity attitudes and then (b) the effects of environment and racial identity attitude on African American men's body size preferences regarding women. Using weighted scale scores, the two university types differed only on racial identity attitudes. There was no difference, however, in men's body size preferences for women when comparing university types and racial identity in combination. Suggestions regarding the instrument and limitations of this study are discussed.
