Abstract
This study aims to measure body dissatisfaction and self-objectification in Russian immigrant gay men in the U.S. We expect to find higher scores in this population compared to U.S. gay men because of the homophobic environment in Russia. Mirror Paradigm will be used for the first time with this population.
