About the Lab
The Integrative Positive Psychology
Research Lab in Mindfulness, Body Acceptance, Culture & Health
(MIND-BATCH) at UNC Charlotte studies socio-cultural risk and
protective factors (e.g., positive body image, ethnic identity,
marginalization stress, weight stigma) that may contribute to
and/or mitigate ethnic minority and gender disparities in
cardiometabolic health in women with a particular emphasis on the
developmental transitions of college, pregnancy, and the postpartum
period. The lab also has a strong interest in researching the
application of integrative mind-body approaches (including the
practices of yoga, mindful and intuitive eating, and
self-compassion) and Health at Every Size® principles towards
optimizing a more holistic experience of health and well-being in
culturally-diverse groups.
