First to have a questionnaire, investigating for adolescent females’ body image as a pretest and posttest for changes in attitude. The second aspect would be to have an awareness group for adolescent girls would address issues of drive for thinness, body satisfaction, and desire to alter their bodies in someway, with specific attention to how the media affects their feelings on the above mentioned body image issues.

Juveniles are being transferred into criminal courts, when there could be rehabilitation alternatives that the states could be using instead. This poster will present a research proposal to investigate the role of rehabilitation versus punitive approaches in contemporary juvenile courts. Rehabilitation was central to early juvenile courts, but has been supplanted by more punitive approaches as juvenile crime rates rose. One of these options is to transfer juveniles to criminal courts to face adult sanctions. It is time to evaluate the extent to which a punitive philosophy has taken hold in juvenile courts. The researcher could conduct interviews with: juvenile court personnel, Juvenile Judges, and juvenile offenders. The researcher could looking at data on the number of transfers to criminal courts from juvenile courts, or maybe even conduct a survey of the public on their attitudes toward punitive versus rehabilitative approaches to juvenile.

This poster presentation describes the method for a proposed research project on the role of family, peers and institutions in identity formation of multiracial individuals. The research question is: which factor, family, peers, and institutions plays the largest role in the identity formation of multiracial individuals? The research will be taken by the measuring which mode of socialization that multiracial individuals perceive to be the most influential in developing their multiracial identity. By better understanding the factors multiracial individuals feel best describe how they developed their racial identity perhaps society can better understand how to interact with multiracial individuals as well as how complex racial identities are constructed.
