HELLO!!!!! 

My name is Reen Radel. I am a junior at the University of Dayton and a Dietetics major. 

This website is for my HSS 226 class.  The purpose of this survey is to test the idea that the media affects the body image of college-aged women.  The independent variable is the media's portrayal of women; while the dependent variable is the body image perceptions of the women who take the survey. 

Please take my survey if you would like to contribute to this study.  Thank you for visiting my website and for completing my survey.  The results will be posted on this website in early December if you are interested in seeing them.  Feel free to come back and visit!
