Hello and welcome to the Psychlings Podcast where Byron and Dazz chat with celebrated Professors and Clinicians to explore the latest thinking in psychological practice, research and education. Psychlings is a resource for future psychologists, and we are delighted to be joined today by the University of Melbourne’s Senior Research Fellow Dr. Scott Griffiths.Scott is an award-winning researcher, author and speaker who heads up the Physical Appearance Research Team at UniMelb. His research focuses on body image and psychological issues for which body image is a central element — so this could include eating disorders, body dysmorphia and anabolic steroid dependence. Scott is particularly interested in how gender influences different experiences of body image and there is a fantastic TEDX talk where he delves into muscle dysmorphia in males which is well worth checking out.
