My Eyes Are Up Here: The Nature of the Objectifying Gaze Toward Women (2013, background): “If this is the case, future research should also examine whether the gaze is associated with the same negative social perceptions for men (e.g., Cikara et al. 2011; Heflick et al. 2011; Vaes et al. 2011).”
Seeing women as objects: The sexual body part recognition bias (2012, background): “…ordinary, everyday women’s bodies (rather than celebrities, Heflick & Goldenberg, 2009; women wearing provocative clothing, Gurung & Chrouser, 2007; or women with exaggerated sexual features, Bernard et al., 2012a; Cikara et al., 2010; Vaes et al., 2011) to be reduced to their sexual body parts.”
Sexualized Avatars Lead to Women’s Self-Objectification and Acceptance of Rape Myths (2015, background): “…several studies have supported the relationship between objectification and dehumanization (Cikara, Eberhardt, & Fiske, 2011; Heflick & Goldenberg, 2009; Heflick et al., 2011; Loughnan et al., 2010; Vaes et al., 2011), fewer studies have explored the link to beliefs and attitudes about rape.”
Revisiting the Jezebel Stereotype (2018, methodology): “Further, in line with previous work (e.g., Puvia & Vaes, 2013; Vaes et al., 2011), we expected sexualized targets to be more strongly implicitly associated with animals and objects than their non-sexualized counterparts.”
We are human, they are not: Driving forces behind outgroup dehumanisation and the humanisation of the ingroup (2012, background): “Measuring the human–animal dimension, Vaes, Paladino, and Puvia (2011) indeed showed that sexually objectified women were dehumanised.”
Dehumanization and infrahumanization. (2014, background): “Sexualized women are implicitly associated with animals by male and female perceivers alike (Vaes et al. 2011), and men who implicitly associate women with animals and objects have a higher propensity for sexual aggression (Rudman & Mescher 2012).”
Being a Body: Women’s Appearance Related Self-Views and their Dehumanization of Sexually Objectified Female Targets (2012, unknown): “On the other side, Vaes et al. (2011) demonstrated that Italian women dehumanized sexually objectified female targets as they appeared in the Italian female magazines.”
Sexual Objectification Increases Rape Victim Blame and Decreases Perceived Suffering (2013, background): “Recent research has shown that objectification can be increased by varying sexualized attire (Holland & Haslam, 2013; Loughnan, Haslam, Murnane, et al., 2010; Vaes et al., 2011) and attention toward the body (Heflick & Goldenberg, 2009).”
Understanding the link between men’s alcohol use and sexual violence perpetration: The mediating role of sexual objectification. (2014, background): “Although many of the negative factors associated with sexual objectification have been well-established (e.g., Heflick et al., 2011; Vaes et al., 2011; Loughnan et al., 2010), understanding why and when people sexually objectify women in the first place is much less well-understood (Gervais,…”
