  • Title: Objectification processes and disordered eating in British women and men.
    Author: Calogero RM.
    Journal: J Health Psychol; 2009 Apr; 14(3):394-402. PubMed ID: 19293301.
    Abstract:
    The present study extended the applicability of Objectification Theory to predict disordered eating in British women and men. Participants completed measures of self-objectification, body surveillance, body shame and disordered eating. Path analyses indicated strong support for the theoretical model in women, with body shame fully mediating the relation between self-objectification and disordered eating. Patterns were similar for men with two exceptions; body shame increased with lower self-objectification and disordered eating was directly increased with higher self-objectification. Findings extend Objectification Theory as a useful framework for identifying sociocultural influences on disordered eating in British women and men.
