Jaclyn A. Siegel, PhD

My name is Dr. Jaclyn Siegel, and I am a social psychologist. I presently work as a Research Scientist within the Department of Public Health Research at NORC at the University of Chicago.

​

My research focuses on the intersections between gender, culture, bodies, and sexuality. Some topics I study include: eating disorders, sexual objectification, sexual violence, sexual desire, weight stigma, and sexist attitudes. I have conducted research with various populations, including people living with and recovering from eating disorders, LGBTQ+ communities, adolescents, physicians, and active-duty military personnel. I have published nearly 30 peer reviewed articles on my various research interests (and, yes, I am very down for nearly any collaboration you have in mind -- please get in touch!).

​

I am also a bit of a methods and ethics nerd, and I have written and presented on topics related to qualitative methods, participant rights, and open science. I can also geek out for days about psychometrics (and often do!). I am a regular reviewer for academic journals, and I sit on the editorial boards at Psychology of Women Quarterly, Psychology of Men and Masculinities, Sex Roles, Body Image, and Frontiers in Social Psychology. I am also the social media coordinator and APA style editor at Psychology of Women Quarterly.
