About Me
- Elizabeth A. Daniels, Ph.D.
- I am currently a visiting assistant professor at the University of Oregon. I earned my doctorate in Developmental Psychology from the University of California Santa Cruz, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Sport Psychology at the University of California Los Angeles. My research on positive youth development comes out of my own experiences as an active child. I grew up playing whatever game or sport was happening at any given moment in my neighborhood. I joined my first organized sport team at age 7 and continue to be active and play on recreational sport teams today. I strongly believe my childhood sport involvement shaped the person I became. And it motivated my research on girls' involvement in physical activities. As a lifelong athlete, I view myself as strong and capable. Many, many girls and women (as well as some boys and men) don't share my experience. In my view, media and an appearance- oriented culture have a lot to do with that. Hearing the pain of young people who strive for unattainable body ideals drives my line of research on media and body image.
