Abstract: The objectification of women by our society can become internalized by women, resulting in negative psychological outcomes. Using Fredrickson and Roberts' (1997) objectification theory, we tested a model of the relationships between self-objectification and disordered eating and depressive symptoms in a sample of undergraduate women (n = 384). One postulate of self-objectification theory is that self-objectification can lead to a lack of internal awareness, which may mediate the relationship between self-objec… Show more

“…The Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (OBCS; McKinley & Hyde, 1996) measures body surveillance, body shame, and control beliefs. Consistent with previous research, participants completed only the body surveillance and body shame subscales (Gervais, Vescio, & Allen, 2011;Muehlenkamp & Saris-Baglama, 2002;Tiggemann & Kuring, 2004;Tiggemann & Slater, 2001). Specifically, participants completed the eight-item body surveillance (e.g., "I am more concerned with what my body can do than how it looks"-reverse coded) and the eightitem body shame (e.g., "I would be ashamed for people to know what I really weigh") subscales of the OBCS.…”

“…Furthermore, studies have indicated that these sociocultural messages can become internalized contributing to an individual's tendency of viewing one's own body from an outsider, or "others," perspective. Such selfobjectifying practices have been associated with increased bodily disconnection, which has been linked to both NSSI and ED (Calogero et al, 2010;Muehlenkamp & Saris-Baglama, 2002;Nelson & Muehlenkamp, 2012;.…”

“…Results have demonstrated both a direct (Muehlenkamp & Saris-Baglama, 2002;) and a mediated Slater & Tiggemann, 2002) relationship between self-objectification and disordered eating. Body shame, in particular, has been found to mediate this relationship Slater & Tiggemann, 2002).…”
