In class Blog September 26th


My research question is “What are the psychological effect of anorexia?” I have found that the psychological aspect of anorexia can be just as dangerous as the physical damage. Some people strive to be the best at everything and have a lot of pressure on them from friends, family and society. That desire for perfection not only take over their school work and social life, it takes over their body as well. Some people who struggle with anorexia think that people will think less of them if they do not live up to the standards everyone  else has given them. Others feel that their life is too stressful and they did not have any control over anything in it. The one thing they could control was their weight and they use not eating as a way to have something in their life that is meaningful to them. I still want to find out what else triggers people to not want to eat. Why do people choose that outlet instead of putting that energy into something positive that would have a good impact on other people.  My question may be too broad so I am thinking of narrowing it down to one specific reason anorexia effects the brain.

  1. Your topic seems so interesting. It also seems as though you can find a lot of information on your topic by either using Ingram Library or using Galileo. Your topic seems narrow enough, and is not to broad. You can probably fin a lot of information in a psychology book also it would probably answer a lot of your questions. Good luck !
