Nicole talks to Dr. Elizabeth Daniels, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs and a Tucker Center affiliated scholar. They discuss the research in which Elizabeth examines the effects of sexualized and objectified media images of females, particularly female athletes, on young girls, as well as the practical implications and applied elements of her work.
