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.
