Needless to say, the COVID-19 Pandemic has impacted the entire world in various, complex ways. Following her curiosity, Iisaka took part in a research project in the midst of the pandemic that looked into how people\u2019s perceptions of their weight, body image, exercise, and eating habits in relation to eating disorder symptoms have been impacted by COVID-19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iisaka is currently a senior (\u201822) double majoring in Dance Performance and Psychology. After pursuing a professional career in dance at a contemporary dance company, she hopes to return to graduate school for Health Psychology. Looking to gain experience in research, Iisaka joined Dr. David Frederick\u2019s lab at the beginning of the pandemic to pursue a project titled \u201cWeight Change, Body Image, and Disordered Eating During the COVID-19 Pandemic.\u201d Iisaka states, \u201cIt has become incredibly prevalent in the news for media sources to stigmatize overweight individuals or weight gain in general through jokes about the \u201cQuarantine-15\u201d or pressuring messages to lose weight during the pandemic.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In order to collect more meaningful data on the currently relevant topic of the COVID-19 pandemic, Iisaka applied for and was awarded the Scholarly\/Creative Grant from the Center for Undergraduate Excellence (CUE). This grant is offered every semester for scholars at Chapman University and supports creative or academic projects. It can be used for purchasing necessary equipment, facility rentals, and travel expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1738 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/undergraduate-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2022\/03\/int491_iisaka-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"463\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/undergraduate-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2022\/03\/int491_iisaka-1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/undergraduate-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2022\/03\/int491_iisaka-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/undergraduate-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2022\/03\/int491_iisaka-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/undergraduate-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2022\/03\/int491_iisaka-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/>The funds from the grant allowed Iisaka to reach a greater participant pool on Amazon\u2019s Mechanical Turk, through which she was able to incentivize individuals to participate through a small patent in return for the completion of the survey. Specifically, it allowed Iisaka to access a participant pool of over 2,000 individuals. Further, she states, \u201cobtaining a greater understanding of participants\u2019 experiences during these challenging times will enable a better understanding of how to combat these prevalent experiences of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating, both of which are often considered taboo topics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iisaka reflects on her time working on the project, \u201cmy research experience has given me more confidence in my autonomy as a curious learner. It has empowered me to ask greater questions about the world we live in and find proactive ways to find answers and further develop science.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in finding out more about the Undergraduate Scholarly\/Creative Grant, go to our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/research\/center-for-undergraduate-excellence\/research-and-creative-grants.aspx\">website<\/a>! <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CUE is now accepting proposals for the Spring 2022 Scholarly\/Creative grant until April 8, 2022. <\/span>These grants are given out every semester and fund numerous projects in addition to conference travel fees across campus.
