The Asian American population has increased almost ten percent in the past
decade, marking the second highest growth rate of any racial group in the United States.
Because of this increase, researchers need to be more informed about current issues that
exist among this population, specifically within Asian American women and body
satisfaction. This review seeks to explore the current research that exists on Asian
American women and body satisfaction. Potential causes and explanations for why this
population may deal with body satisfaction are then explored. These include historical
causes, peer pressure, familial pressure, and media influence. The review then looks at
methods counselors can use to effectively work with the Asian American women
population. Finally, some recommendations for future studies are offered. Through this
review, researchers and counselors can be better informed to work with the Asian
American population. / text
