Download or read book Effects of Social Media Use and Advertising on Gay and Bisexual Men’s Body Image written by Leelan Nicholas Michael Bhagwandeen and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Media, i.e., broadcasting, publishing, the internet" and social media may positively and/or negatively affect its users. A very common, well-established negative effect of the media is disturbed body image, especially among women. It is possible that media also has a similar effect on gay and bisexual men; a growing body of research has shown that gay and bisexual men are more likely than heterosexual men to have poor body image/satisfaction and eating disorders. Therefore, the current systematic literature review aimed to explore the relationship between media use and body image among gay and bisexual; men. A systematic literature review was conducted to gather information currently available on this topic. All 11 articles that met inclusion and exclusion criteria indicated that media use/exposure was significantly related to poorer body image and other related psychosocial constructs such as self-esteem and self-perception, with many correlations between media use/exposure and these variables ranging from moderate to strong. Articles showed that gay/bisexual men are at risk for self-esteem issues, body surveillance, body dysmorphia and disordered eating, which may be exacerbated by media use. These issues may lead to poor mental health, pathology, and/or suicidal ideation. Findings suggest that mental health providers should be vigilant for signs that media use may be negatively impacting their patients and learn how to explore the implications together.

Download or read book The Case of Grindr and Gay Men's Embodiment and Body Image Through New Media written by David Oshana and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grindr is a geo-social based dating application (app) that allows men who have sex with men (MSM) to connect with each other based on sexual preferences and appearance. The popularization of Grindr over the last decade and its major influence on the MSM community has brought about new queries into its usage, body image, and masculine (dis)embodiment, particularly due to its userbase being heavily appearance-focused. MSM in general are an understudied demographic in the body image literature. MSM have reported greater negative body image than their heterosexual counterparts pertaining to masculine identity, physical appearance, and sexualized self-presentation. To investigate the relationship between Grindr, body image, and MSM's (dis)embodiment, a qualitative case study design was utilized. Nine MSM who had used Grindr took part in a semi-structured interview. Two data-driven themes were identified from the reflexive thematic analysis process; 'No fats, no femmes, no Asians' which explored the issues of social performativity and body image experiences on Grindr; and 'Grindr doesn't allow for... people to really express themselves' which explored the experiences of using cyberspace dating and its effects on body image and self-presentation. Participants unanimously identified that their experiences on Grindr were catalysts for maladaptive behaviors, including excessive exercise, self-objectification, and disembodiment pertaining to their genuine self-identity. Body image was described as both a relationship one has with their body and as the ascription of others' opinions of one's body. The disembodiment expressed was related to notions of performative masculinity to gain attention rather than being true to one's self. Additionally, it was identified that for appearance-focused MSM, there remains issues of understanding what (positive) body image actually is. Participants described the complex relationships between sexual performativity, short-term satisfaction, and the necessity of others' opinions for understanding their (positive) body image. Ultimately, Grindr was identified to be a negative cyberspace which facilitates curated ideal-self presentation that focuses on self-objectification for the pleasure of other MSM as a way of being perceived as desirable.

Book excerpt: This book showcases developments in theory, research and practice regarding sexuality and ageing, considering the differences as well as similarities between and among ageing heterosexual and LGBT older people. Identifying the questions central to future social scientific research on ageing and sexuality, it focuses on the important, emerging dimensions of sexuality and ageing: embodiment, the diversification of the ageing context and the intersections of care and sexuality. With attention to the different forms of sexualities, particularly at their intersection with gender, this volume explores the importance of spatial and relational contexts, whether individual, residential or virtual, with authors offering studies of online dating, sexuality in the context of residential care and the relationship between sexuality, legal frameworks and social policy. Interdisciplinary in scope and offering the latest research from scholars in the UK, Australasia and Africa, Ageing and Sexualities constitutes an integrated approach to the conceptual and practical challenges of understanding the interplay of ageing and sexuality in contemporary society. As such, it will appeal to scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, including sociology, cultural studies, socio-legal studies, social gerontology, psychology, medicine and health care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LGBTQ Lobbying in the United States argues that the issues and tactics prioritized by the mainstream gay lobbying community fail to serve LGBTQ interests and are complicit in perpetuating heteronormative power dynamics and institutions that render queer and trans people vulnerable to structural oppression. The book posits that there are different LGBTQ lobbying communities—a dominant gay mainstream lobbying category, whose work advances heteronormative ideals, and a second category of LGBTQ lobbying that is intersectional and challenges hegemonic heterosexual institutions. Analysis in the book builds on existing public policy literature and is aided by the author's practitioner experience in lobbying for LGBTQ issues in Washington, D.C. over the past 20 years. This book is suitable as a textbook for students and researchers in LGBTQ studies, U.S. politics, and gender studies. The book will also appeal to activists and professionals in political lobbying.

This book was released on 2010-03-12 with total page 835 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald R. McCreary and Joan C. Chrisler The Development of Gender Studies in Psychology Studies of sex differences are as old as the ?eld of psychology, and they have been conducted in every sub?eld of the discipline. There are probably many reasons for the popularity of these studies, but three reasons seem to be most prominent. First, social psychological studies of person perception show that sex is especially salient in social groups. It is the ?rst thing people notice about others, and it is one of the things we remember best (Fiske, Haslam, & Fiske, 1991; Stangor, Lynch, Duan, & Glass, 1992). For example, people may not remember who uttered a witty remark, but they are likely to remember whether the quip came from a woman or a man. Second, many people hold ?rm beliefs that aspects of physiology suit men and women for particular social roles. Men’s greater upper body strength makes them better candidates for manual labor, and their greater height gives the impression that they would make good leaders (i. e. , people we look up to). Women’s reproductive capacity and the caretaking tasks (e. g. , breastfeeding, baby minding) that accompany it make them seem suitable for other roles that require gentleness and nurturance. Third, the logic that underlies hypothesis testing in the sciences is focused on difference. Researchers design their studies with the hope that they can reject the null hypothesis that experimental groups do not differ.

For many years, same-sex couples were denied the right to marry, which excluded them from a range of legal protections and benefits. The movement for marriage equality aimed to provide LGBT couples the same legal recognition and rights as heterosexual couples, reinforcing the idea that love and commitment should not be limited by sexual orientation. Historical Context of LGBT Marriage Historically, marriage was viewed through a strictly heterosexual lens, with same-sex relationships largely invisible or criminalized in many societies. The struggle for LGBT marriage rights gained momentum in the 20th century, particularly in the 1990s and early 2000s, when countries like the Netherlands, Canada, and Spain became some of the first to legalize same-sex marriage. The journey to marriage equality has been long and arduous, with significant legal, cultural, and religious opposition along the way. Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Marriages Many countries around the world now legally recognize same-sex marriages, providing LGBT couples with the same legal status as heterosexual couples. In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling in *Obergefell v. Hodges* legalized same-sex marriage across the United States, marking a historic victory for LGBT rights. This ruling was built upon decades of advocacy and legal challenges. Marriage equality has been crucial in providing LGBT couples with rights related to inheritance, taxation, child adoption, and healthcare access. Religious Perspectives on LGBT Marriage The issue of same-sex marriage has often intersected with religious beliefs. Many religious institutions have opposed LGBT marriage on theological grounds, citing traditional views of marriage as between one man and one woman. However, some denominations and religious leaders have embraced a more inclusive stance, arguing that marriage should be about love and commitment, regardless of gender. This debate continues to shape the broader discourse around LGBT marriage rights.

Download or read book The Psychology of the Selfie written by Barrie Gunter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of the Selfie provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of research on the significance of selfies, offering insights into the topic from a psychological perspective and examining important issues such as body image, self-objectification, mental health and psychological benefits. Selfies are a worldwide phenomenon. Although dismissed by critics as a sign of self-absorbed narcissism, they are also a social currency that maintains and reinforces friendships, a feedback loop for self-identity affirmation, a promotional tool for gaining social influence, and a method for preserving memories of life events. In this book, Barrie Gunter expertly explores the psychological underpinnings of the contemporary global phenomenon of "selfies", from the historical roots and meteoric rise due to technical advancements, to the different personality types of selfie-takers, to social relationships, to group and personal identity. Looking at both the psychological nature and impact of selfies, this book reviews different psychological outcomes for selfie-takers, both positive and negative, and the growth in psychological and physical problems that can sometimes arise. Presenting a comprehensive analysis specifically of selfie behaviour, this book is an essential reference for students and researchers in communications and media, journalism, information studies, psychology and sociology, as well as anyone with a general interest in the phenomenon.
