Abstract

Recent research found that sexualized bodies are visually processed similarly to objects. This article examines the effects of skin-to-clothing ratio and posture suggestiveness on cognitive objectification. Participants were presented images of upright versus inverted bodies while we recorded the N170. We used the N170 amplitude inversion effect (larger N170 amplitudes for inverted vs. upright stimuli) to assess cognitive objectification, with no N170 inversion effect indicating less configural processing and more cognitive objectification. Contrary to Hypothesis 1, skin-to-clothing ratio was not associated with cognitive objectification (Experiments 1-3). However, consistent with Hypothesis 2, we found that posture suggestiveness was the key driver of cognitive objectification (Experiment 2), even after controlling for body asymmetry (Experiment 3). This article showed that high (vs. low) posture suggestiveness caused cognitive objectification (regardless of body asymmetry), whereas high (vs. low) skin-to-clothing ratio did not. The implications for objectification and body perception literatures are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this study, we examined the impact of demographics and relationship status on posting a revealing picture of oneself as a profile picture on Facebook. We randomly sampled and coded 1,000 profiles of Israeli Facebook users ranging in age between 18 and 61 years. Over 40% of the profiles showed at least 1 picture of the user dressed in a skimpy outfit. Results of a multiple logistic regression model indicated that younger age, a lower level of education, and not being engaged in a committed romantic relationship were significant predictors of the posting of these pictures. Further, gender alone was not a significant predictor, but the interaction of gender and level of education was. Specifically, women with a high-schoollevel education posted revealing pictures of themselves more often than did men with a similar level of education. We analyzed our results in light of Goffman's theory of self-presentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5. Why is sexualization dehumanizing? The effects of posture suggestiveness and revealing clothing on dehumanization

Author

Bernard, Philippe, Wollast, R., Bernard, Philippe, and Wollast, R.

Abstract

Research has shown that sexualized people are perceived as possessing fewer traits of a human being. Most scholars have argued that these effects are driven by revealing clothing, with targets wearing swimsuits or lingerie being perceived as possessing less mind and less humanness in comparison with nonsexualized targets. However, revealing clothing in these studies was often confounded with other sexualizing factors, such as posture suggestiveness, and, so, the aspects which lead people to perceive women in object-like ways remain unclear. This article begins to fill this gap by examining the role of two key sexualizing factors, namely revealing clothing and posture suggestiveness, on objectification-related traits. After exposure to a picture of a woman, 223 participants were asked to indicate the extent to which this woman possessed warmth, competence, and morality. For competence and warmth, we found an interaction between revealing clothing and posture suggestiveness: Posture suggestiveness caused less attribution of warmth and competence to women wearing revealing clothing, but not for women wearing less revealing clothing. For morality, we found that women in suggestive (vs. nonsuggestive) postures were perceived as possessing less morality, regardless of the type of clothing. The implications of these findings for the field are discussed., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published
