Abstract

Objectification theory has been instrumental in better understanding risk for eating disorders, depression, and sexual dysfunction, with self-objectification and body shame as serial mediators leading to these outcomes. Although originally proposed to explain these mental health outcomes in heterosexual women, researchers have extended objectification theory to individuals of various ages, racial identities, and sexual and gender identities. We conducted a systematic literature review of empirical peer-reviewed published research examining the relationship between the constructs of self-objectification, body dissatisfaction, and body shame in adult, youth, and LGBTQ+ samples. Our search yielded 5200 results, of which 318 met inclusion criteria. Of the papers included in this review, 26 reported correlations with sexual and gender diverse samples, 43 reported correlations with youth samples, and 249 reported correlations with samples of general adults (non-sexual or gender minorities). The meta-analyses yielded significant, moderate, positive correlations between body dissatisfaction and self-objectification, and between body shame and self-objectification, for each of the sub-samples. The majority of samples were predominantly White and cisgender female, suggesting the need for additional research examining these constructs among racial and gender minority populations. Overall, the results of this review highlight the unique contributions of body shame and body dissatisfaction to self-objectifying behaviors, and identify the moderating role of race and gender in these interrelations.

测试物化理论中与身体相关的部分:身体羞耻感、自我物化和身体不满意之间关系的荟萃分析
物化理论有助于更好地理解饮食失调、抑郁和性功能障碍的风险,而自我物化和身体羞耻感是导致这些结果的连续中介因素。虽然客体化理论最初是为了解释异性恋女性的这些心理健康结果而提出的,但研究人员已将其扩展到不同年龄、种族身份以及性和性别身份的个体。我们对经同行评审发表的实证研究进行了系统的文献综述,这些研究考察了成人、青少年和 LGBTQ+ 样本中自我客体化、身体不满意和身体羞耻感之间的关系。我们的搜索结果有 5200 条,其中 318 条符合纳入标准。在纳入本综述的论文中,有 26 篇报告了与不同性取向和性别样本的相关性,43 篇报告了与青少年样本的相关性,249 篇报告了与普通成人(非性取向或性别少数群体)样本的相关性。荟萃分析结果表明,在每个子样本中,身体不满意与自我矮化之间以及身体羞耻感与自我矮化之间都存在显著的、中等程度的正相关关系。大多数样本主要是白人和顺性别女性,这表明有必要在种族和性别少数群体中开展更多的研究,以检验这些构建。总之,本综述的结果强调了身体羞耻感和身体不满意对自我矮化行为的独特作用,并确定了种族和性别在这些相互关系中的调节作用。

期刊介绍: Body Image is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, scientific articles on body image and human physical appearance. Body Image is a multi-faceted concept that refers to persons perceptions and attitudes about their own body, particularly but not exclusively its appearance. The journal invites contributions from a broad range of disciplines-psychological science, other social and behavioral sciences, and medical and health sciences. The journal publishes original research articles, brief research reports, theoretical and review papers, and science-based practitioner reports of interest. Dissertation abstracts are also published online, and the journal gives an annual award for the best doctoral dissertation in this field.
