WJU Conducts Body Image Study Members of the Wheeling Jesuit University psychology department recently conducted a study on the body images of male and female adults and college students.
Preliminary findings show that neither men nor women are satisfied with their bodies.
Results show that women generally want their body size to be smaller and men prefer their body size to be larger. In contrast to other studies, this research took into consideration muscularity and weight as a part of body image. Both college and adult women wanted to be smaller and less muscular. College men, in general, wished to be heavier and more muscular. Adult men preferred a more muscular, but not heavier, build.
