Any ideas for dissertation questions about media/magazines affecting weight loss in women & men?
December 28th, 2009 at 22:10I am a public health nutrition student..currently thinking of what to do my dissertation on. We have to carry out primary research, so my title needs to be a question which i aim to answer…
I think i want to do something regarding weight loss associated with media/magazines..any ideas how to make my question specific as its a very broad topic?? your answers would be greatly appreciated!!!
It sounds like a very interesting topic! But you are right that it is too broad at the moment and needs to be more specific. Perhaps you could do a comparison study between the types of information given to women on diet and weight loss versus the types of information given to men? Or you could compare how women and men are affected by the information they are exposed to, like to what extent they internalise the information. You could also consider where, how and why women and men seek out information on weight loss in the media (as opposed to getting this info from more reputable or academic sources). I hope that has given you some ideas.
When choosing a topic, just make sure it is one you are interested in, and one that will lend itself to a practical and easy to use research methods.

I can’t think of a properly-worded question, but the same old subject of magazines and media presenting a ‘perfect’ image that is impossible to attain healthily may be a way to go.
Plus I bet all the women’s mags are advertising Alli at the moment – isn’t that a bit open to abuse if the user is obsessed with gaining a low weight?
Those are just a couple of thoughts. Hope they help.
