Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: We gathered a convenience sample of thirty four in-depth interviews with African American women attending a primarily white New England college. Prior research reveals this transition makes them vulnerable to self-esteem and body image issues as a result of exposure to white western norms of beauty. Our research suggests that the degree to which these students are exposed differs depending upon their specific set of race and/or gendered identity self -contingencies prior to college. Our analysis reveals four different contingency groups. Group one women�s self concept is contingent on their identification with white culture prior to college, and during college, making them more susceptible to body image dissatisfaction in college. Group Two identifies with black culture prior to attending and while attending college, protecting them from exposure to white Western beauty norms while in college. Group Three�s racial identity �floats� between Groups one and two both prior to and during college, making them susceptible to exposure to both white and black ideals of beauty. Group Four�s self concept contingencies does not include race as a primary contingency, making them less likely to adhere to the beauty ideals of either culture.
