TWO MEDFORD (OREGON! MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. April 21. 1955 Girls Practice Wishful Seeing According to University Survey By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) When we look into mirrors what we see is not always what is there, and science now can give you an idea of how this works in girls. When girls look into mirrors, they're likely to see narrower waists and shoulders, shorter noses, slimmer calves and ankles, and smaller feet than are actually being reflected in the glass. But' they're inclined to eye measure their busts on the big gish side. According to Sidney M. Jourard and Paul F. Second of Emory university, this is be cause girls carry around in the backs of their heads, the meas urements of "the ideal female figure." See What Thty Like They pick up these ideal measurements here and there, from other girls who are con spicuously successful with males and, most importantly, from "Hollywood starts and beauty queens." Then, when they look into their mirrors, they'll see -themselves, if it is at all pos can Psychological association The ramifications were some what complex. When we look into the mirror, our attitude to ward what se see is body-cath-exis. If we are delighted by what we see, then we score quite high on the body-cathexis scale and if we shudder at it, we score very low. Asked Reaction ' The Emory girls were asked to give their reactions to their own height, weight, nose length, and the circumferences of their busts, waists, calves, and ankles. They couldn't put down that they had felt one of the follow ing: "Strong positive feeling, positive feeling, slight positive feeling, no feeling one way or the other, slight negative feel ing, negative feeling, strong negative feeling." All the results turned up the existence of an "ideal female figure" shared by most if not all. It showed that those girls who could, saw themselves as the ideal, more or less. It show ed that those who couldn't kid themselves, had some variety of negative feeling" about the sible, as they'd like to be rather I ankles or the bust or the waist than as they are. The scientists tried out their theories on 60 college girls at Emory. They used question naires; also, in their words, "as sorted rulers, tape measures, calipers, and scales for direct measurement." However, the measuring was done by Miss Fairlie Brown, a student, whose assistance Jour ard Second gratefully acknow ledged in their report to a which fell short of or exceeded the ideal.
