Self Objectification

This study aimed to identify predictors of self-objectification among exercising women. A brief questionnaire incorporating demographic questions and measures of self-objectification was completed by 133 new female fitness center members (aged 16 to 68 years) upon joining a fitness center and 12 months later. Results demonstrated that young women who remained fitness center members had greater self-objectification at 12 months than women who ceased their memberships. Furthermore, both initial age and reasons for exercise predicted subsequent increases in self-objectification. Specifically, being younger, as well as being more motivated by appearance-related reasons to exercise, predicted self-objectification at 12 months. These findings suggest that young women exercising within the fitness center environment may be at an increased risk of developing self-objectification, one of the predictors of negative body image and disordered eating.

Self Objectification

El objetivo del presente estudio ha sido analizar las relaciones y diferencias producidas entre la actividad física, la autoestima, apariencia e insatisfacción corporal respecto al género. Un total de 303 adolescentes, masculinos (150) y femeninos (152), con edades comprendidas entre los 10-13 años (M = 11.74) pertenecientes a diferentes centros de Educación Primaria participaron en el estudio. Se empleó el cuestionario PSPP para la valoración de la autoestima y la apariencia, las figuras de Stunkard para la satisfacción corporal y el cuestionario PAQ-A para la valoración de la actividad física. Se realizaron correlaciones de bivariadas, análisis multivariante y análisis de regresión lineal considerando el género. Los resultados mostraron un valor predictivo significativo mayor de la actividad física femenina en la autoestima y la apariencia que en la masculina. A modo de conclusión, destaca la importancia que tiene el rol de la actividad física como precursor de la autoestima, apariencia e insatisfacción corporal. Del mismo modo, la práctica de la actividad física por parte del género femenino tiende a predecir la apariencia y autoestima. === The objective of the present study has been to analyze the relationships and differences produced between physical activity, self-esteem, appearance, and body dissatisfaction, regarding gender. A total of 303 adolescents, male (150) and female (152), aged between 10 and 13 years (M = 11.74) belonging to different Primary Education centers participated in the study. The PSPP questionnaire was used for the assessment of self-esteem and appearance, the Stunkard figures for body satisfaction, and the PAQ-A questionnaire for the assessment of physical activity. Bivariate correlations, multivariate analysis, and linear regression analysis were performed considering gender. The results showed a significant predictive value of physical activity in self-esteem and appearance. By way of conclusion, it highlights the importance of the role of physical activity as a precursor of self-esteem and appearance, in addition to body image as a precursor of body satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

The Relationship

This paper investigates the impact of state self-objectification on body image and tests the role of self-esteem in this relationship. The study group consisted of 136 adolescents from a junior high school in Poland, aged 14 to 16 years: 65 boys (Mage = 15; SD = 0.79) and 71 girls (Mage = 14.93; SD = 0.82). Both age groups were relatively homogeneous in terms of demography and BMI. The study consisted of three phases. First, the participants completed demographic measures assessing demographic variables, body image, and self-esteem. The second phase was conducted one week later to induce a temporary state of self-objectification by means of a magnifying mirror. The third phase followed a ten-minute experimental exposure by filling in the Self-Objectification State Questionnaire. A mediation analysis was performed separately in both adolescent groups, according to the approach proposed by Hayes and Preacher (2014). Self-esteem mediated significantly the relationship between state self-objectification and body image. In the group of girls the mediation model produced a complete effect, whereas in the group of boys the mediation effect was partial.
