Predicting Objectification: Do Provocative Clothing and Observer Characteristics Matter? (2007, background): “Research on objectification has primarily focused on self-objectification where the result of constant evaluation by others, makes one view his or her own body as an object (Prichard and Tiggemann 2005; Quinn et al. 2006; Roberts and Gettman 2004).”
From women to objects: Appearance focus, target gender, and perceptions of warmth, morality and competence (2011, background): “And clearly, women also objectify themselves, and the detrimental consequences of this are well-researched (e.g., Fredrickson et al., 1998; Quinn et al., 2006).”
The Effect of Thin Ideal Media Images on Women’s Self-Objectification, Mood, and Body Image (2008, methodology): “Early experimental enquiry demonstrated that women's state self-objectification can be increased in situations where attention is explicitly focused on one's physical appearance by trying on a swimsuit (Fredrickson et al. 1998; Hebl et al. 2004; Quinn et al. 2006).”
When What You See Is What You Get (2011, background): “…encouraged to self-objectify by sporting a swimsuit (vs. sweater) in front of a mirror performed worse on a math (Fredrickson et al., 1998) and a color-naming Stroop test (Quinn et al., 2006), suggesting that women’s attention was divided between monitoring one’s appearance and completing the task.”
Body on My Mind: The Lingering Effect of State Self-objectification (2006, background): “However, for women only, feeling self-objectified led to increased body shame and negative emotions and reduced math performance (Fredrickson et al., 1998, Study 2). Other researchers who have used this paradigm have also shown that the negative effects of self-objectification do not occur for White”
Objectification Theory and Psychology of Women: A Decade of Advances and Future Directions (2008, background): “…in these samples were predominantly White or of unknown racial/ethnic composition, experimentally heightened self-objectification has also increased body-related thoughts and body shame in racially/ethnically diverse college women (Hebl et al., 2004; Quinn, Kallen, Twenge, & Fredrickson, 2006).”
