The Johns Hopkins University Press.<\/p>\n<p>Abstract Differences in male and female perception response to the Pulvers Body Image Scale (PBIS) were examined among 356 freshmen African American students attending an urban historically Black college\/university (HBCU). Participants completed a questionnaire identifying images that best represented their current, healthy, and ideal body image. Compared with males, more females selected the normal body image as their ideal (63.3% vs. 15.3%) and healthy body shape (59.3% vs. 15.3%) (p&lt;.001). Compared with females, more males selected the overweight body image as their ideal (44.6% vs. 30.2%) and healthy body shape (52.2% vs. 36.2%) (p&lt;.01). Similarly, more males selected the obese body image as their ideal (40.1% vs. 6.5%) and healthy body shape (32.5% vs. 4.5%) compared with females (p&lt;.001). Male freshmen at an HBCU perceive a larger body image as healthy and ideal more often than their female counterparts, thereby increasing the potential for their weight-related health risks.<\/p>\n<p>Access to full article can be found here:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/264832267_African_American_Male_and_Female_Student_Perceptions_of_Pulvers_Body_Images_Implications_for_Obesity_Health_Care_and_Prevention<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brown, S.
