대상화 경험이 여성의 정신 건강에 미치는 영향 = The influence of objectification experiences on women's mental health

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There were some theories explaining the reason of gender differences in a few mental disorders whose women's prevalence ratio is higher than men's. However, the previous theories have provided just partial explanations for gender differences. In this study, the alternative explanation for women's mental health would be presented by exploring objectification theory. Women's body is more objectified by others than men. It is called sexual objectification. The repetition of sexual objectification may cause self-objectification by internalizing the observer's point for their body. Self-objectification is likely to bring about some negative experiences: shame, anxiety, the lack of peak motivational state, the deficiency for an awareness of internal bodily states. The accumulation of negative experiences lead to mental health risks: eating disorders, depression, sexual dysfunctions. The objectification theory has been proved by empirical studies by this time. The results of these studies showed that (a) sexual objectification causes self objectification, (b) the experiences of objectification are different between women and men, (c) the experiences of objectification changes according to developmental stages (d) objectification had an effect on eating disorders, negative emotions, performance ability, and non-adaptive behaviors. The implication of objectification theory is the proposal of the individual psychological concept 'self objectification'. The concept of 'self objectification' might be clarified, and the range of research based on the objectification theory should be broaden in the future research.
