Experiences of Sexual Objectification, Minority Stress, and Disordered Eating Among Sexual Minority Women (2015, background): “Among sexual minority women, scores on this measure were positively correlated with body surveillance, internalized sociocultural attitudes toward appearance, negative eating attitudes, and eating disordered symptomology (Engeln-Maddox et al., 2011; Haines et al., 2008; Kozee & Tylka, 2006).”
Tests of Objectification Theory in Gay, Lesbian, and Heterosexual Community Samples: Mixed Evidence for Proposed Pathways (2011, unknown): “Some studies have found that, compared to heterosexual women, lesbian women report less concern with appearance/weight, less dieting, lower drive for thinness, lower body dissatisfaction, and fewer bulimic symptoms (e.g., Gettelman and Thompson 1993 ; H erzog et al.1992 ;L akkis et al.1999).”
Sexual Objectification of Women: Advances to Theory and Research 1ψ7 (2011, background): “Supporting these notions, Haines et al. (2008) found that more internalized heterosexism was related to more self-objectification among lesbians, and self-objectification partially mediated the relations between internalized heterosexism and negative eating attitudes and depressive symptoms.”
