Description
Karen Florez and Emma Gutierrez explore what shapes body weight among Mexican immigrants in New York City. They use network data from a small group and the many people named in their circles. Each person said if they wished to weigh more, less, or the same.
People unhappy with their weight who also felt high stress from fitting in had much higher weight scores. Oddly, seeing more heavy people in one's circle went with lower own weight. The authors say norms in both cultures may pull in mixed ways and need more study.
