Violence Against Women Through the Lens of Objectification Theory

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of violence on body image variables for college women. Undergraduate women participated in an online study assessing sexual violence (SV), intimate partner violence (IPV), self-objectification, body surveillance, and body shame experiences. Findings suggest that both SV and IPV contribute to women's body shame. In addition, the associations between IPV and body shame appear to be explained through self-objectification processes, but not the associations b… Show more

“…However, participants' responses on these items are averaged with their responses to the remaining majority of items that assess everyday objectification, thus precluding authors from determining the unique predictive ability of SV on self-objectification, the various theorized psychological consequences, and DE. Further, only two studies that we found (i.e., Carr & Szymanski, 2011;Davidson & Gervais, 2015) have ever applied objectification theory to SV, specifically. Although these studies established the relationship between SV, self-surveillance, and body shame, neither incorporated interoceptive deficits or assessed DE as an outcome (Carr & Szymanski, 2011;Davidson & Gervais, 2015).…”

“…Correlational studies have showed that sexual objectification could be a key mechanism for understanding sexual victimization. For example, Davidson and Gervais (2015) showed that self-objectification was related to sexual violence victimization. Likewise, Haikalis et al (2017) showed that the link between alcohol use (frequency and quantity) and sexual victimization was mediated and thus explained by sexual objectification.…”

“…Among all forms of violence against women, interpersonal violence is the most universal form, including intimate partner violence (Davidson & Gervais, 2015). Intimate partner violence is defined as “behaviors within an intimate relationship that cause physical, sexual or psychological harm, including acts of physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviors” (World Health Organization, 2010, p11).…”
