How Feminist Beliefs Relate To Self-Objectification In African American Females, Ashton Shelby
How Feminist Beliefs Relate To Self-Objectification In African American Females, Ashton Shelby
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Sexual objectification has consistently been found to significantly influence self-objectification in women. Self-objectification has been linked to a number of adverse effects in women including depression, sexual dysfunction, and disordered eating. All females are vulnerable to sexually objectifying experiences and thus, developing self-objectifying behaviors and issues. Although extensive research explores both forms of objectification with Caucasian females, less is known about females in minority groups.
