女性自我客体化与他人客体化
Female Self-Objectification and Others Objectification
摘要: 在当前“雌竞”现象不断发生的社会,这背后对女性产生的影响值得我们去探究。女性以观察者的视角对自己进行评价,并与社会文化所强调的美丽的标准进行监视自己的外表和身体,这一过程就是自我客体化,相比于男性,女性更容易产生自我客体化。女性的高自我客体化水平会导致对其他女性的客体化,从而影响自己的人际关系,可能也会对自己的心理健康也产生负面影响。社会比较和依恋焦虑是导致女性对其他女性客体化的重要心理机制。未来应扩大研究群体,运用多种方法,探究我国文化背景下的他人客体化研究。
Abstract: In the current society where the phenomenon of “female competition” continues to occur, the impact on women behind it is worth exploring. Women evaluate themselves from the perspective of an observer and monitor their appearance and body in accordance with the beauty standards emphasized by social culture. This process is self-objectification, which is easier for women than for men. Women’s high levels of self-objectification can lead to objectification of other women, which can affect their own relationships and possibly negatively affect their own mental health as well. Social comparison and attachment anxiety are important psychological mechanisms that cause women to objectify to other women. In the future, the research group should be expanded, and various methods should be used to explore the objectification of others under the background of Chinese culture.
