About the Presenter
Dr Scott Griffiths is a NHMRC Early Career Fellow in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne. He obtained a Bachelor of Psychology, followed by his PhD, at the University of Sydney. Currently Scott leads the Physical Appearance Research Team, which focuses on anabolic steroids and related psychological disorders, including steroid dependence and muscle dysmorphia. His interest in this field was sparked by noticing an increasing cultural norm for desiring body manipulation towards a more muscular physique, not dissimilar to how thinness is idealised in other forms of eating and body dysmorphic disorders.
