AUSTRALIA: GAY MEN AND BODY IMAGE ACROSS THE WORLD

Asia/Pacific, News & Politics

At Mardi Gras time, a cavalcade of buff beauties from across the world will parade through the streets and gay nightclubs of Sydney.  Some will have spent months preparing with gym sessions, crash diets, spray tans and skimpy yet sparkly outfits.  It’s what Mardi Gras has become world famous for – isn’t it?
  • What are the dangers of taking body image to excess?
  • How has social media changed the way we see ourselves and see each other?
  • Internationally, how does Australia compare in the physical appearances stakes?

To shake the post-workout protein shake with us, we were joined in the studio by Dr Scott Griffiths from the Physical Appearances Research Team, Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne.
