\u201cPsychologists have studied the problematic side of body image for decades,\u201d Daniels said. \u201cMuch more recently, researchers began studying its adaptive side in the form of positive body image. The inspiration behind this volume was to compile the existing body of research on positive body image from leading experts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The volume contains 10 chapters from the top international researchers on positive body image and represents the leaders in a growing field of study. Daniels co-authored one of the chapters \u201cProgrammatic Approaches to Cultivating Positive Body Image in Youth\u201d with Tomi-Ann Roberts, professor of psychology at Colorado College. The chapter focuses on body image programs for youth in school, sport and dance, and the shift from programs that reduce negative body image to ones that foster a positive image.<\/p>\n

Daniels is a past associate editor for \u201cSex Roles: A Journal of Research\u201d and a past contributing editor for \u201cPsychology of Women Quarterly.\u201d She has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, Washington Post, Time, New York Magazine, Telegraph and Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

Daniels co-edited the book with Meghan Gillen, associate professor of psychology, Pennsylvania State University; and Charlotte Markey, professor of psychology, Rutgers University.
