With help from their professor, they chose to write about Dr. Alfredo Campbell, a psychology professor studying stress and eating behaviors in the African American community.

    Recently, we completed a two-page essay on a discipline of our choice, and we had to

    find a scholar of said discipline. In my essay, I chose to write about Dr. Alfredo Campbell, who

    is a psychology faculty member at Howard University. Truth be told, Dr. Campbell wasn’t my

    first choice. My original essay was on Jordan Stanley, a jazz musician, but sadly, my first essay

    wasn’t correct. My switch to Dr. Campbell was very slow, but with the help of my lovely

    professor, he recommended I look at the faculty at Howard University. There, I found many

    potential candidates to write about, but Dr. Campbell stood out. He was the only

    From reading and analyzing this research on “perceived stress and eating behaviors in a

    community-based sample of African Americans,” it was an eye-opener on how many studies do

    not include research that could help the African American community. Hence, the study has been

    conducted. In addition, this encourages me to continue in my efforts to complete my academic

    journey so that instead of eating to overcome stress, the AA community can use different

    approaches such as music, dance, and art to battle the negative emotions and thoughts when

    stressed.

    In conclusion, I have learned that psychology isn’t just about getting into one's brain, but

    understanding why a person acts and feels a certain way. This article has also made me wonder

    what other struggles have been studied but have not been made aware of in the African American

    community.
