|
Dr. Drew Picket, Kinesiology and Sport Management, recently published an article in the journal
International Journal of Advertising
. Titled
Lose Like a Man: Body Image and Celebrity Endorsement Effects of Weight Loss Product Purchase Intentions
, this research uses structural equation modeling in order to look at the relationship between men's body image, credibility of celebrity endorsements, advertisement believability, and purchase intentions for weight loss products.
Results indicated that participants with lower body image perceive the endorsements as more credible. Endorser credibility is positively correlated with advertisement believability, which in turn was associated with purchase intentions. Future research is recommended in looking at the specifics of this relationship as well as actual behavior in purchases.

Dr. Lisa Newland Publishes Research on Child and Adolescent Subjective Well-Being Across 14 Countries
|
Dr. Lisa Newland, Counseling and Psychology in Education, recently published research in the journal
Child Development
. The article, titled
Multilevel Analysis of Child and Adolescent Subjective Well-Being Across 14 Countries: Child- and Country-Level Predictors
looked at ecological, relationship-based models of 9- to 14-year-old children in countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. Results showed that intercepts for the multilevel model varied across countries, but country-level factors did not strongly predict well-being. The majority of variance was due to child-level factors, such
as
age, gender, home context, family relationships, peer relationships, school context, teacher relationships, and neighborhood quality.

Dr. Lisa Newland Publishes research on Exploration of Children's School Life and Well-Being
|
Dr. Lisa Newland also published a manuscript in
Learning Environments Research
. The article, titled
A Phenomenological Exploration of Children's School Life and Well-Being
, explored the essence of well-being from children's perspective and their perception of the role that school life and context played in their well being. They found that school climate and relationships are important to their well-being, as well as they see school settings as one context but two worlds separated into academic and social.
This was the first of two papers that were submitted exploring the intersection between school context and child well-being. The other paper was recently accepted in the
International Journal of Emotional Education.
This paper, titled
School Climate, Emotions, and Relationships: Children's Experiences of Well-Being in the Midwestern U.S.
focused on the essence of children's emotional well-being (EWB) and their perception of the impact of school relationships on their EWB. They found that children expressed complex, multilayered emotions within the school setting that were connected to the quality of school relationships, and four major themes were expressed in order to describe the essence of children's experiences of EWB.
