<p>CSV import</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Self-objectification&#039;&#039;&#039; is a psychological process where individuals view their bodies as objects to be evaluated based on appearance. This concept is rooted in [[objectification theory]], which posits that societal standards and practices encourage women, in particular, to internalize an observer&#039;s perspective of their physical selves. <br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> Self-objectification is often linked to the [[media]] and [[advertising]] industries, which frequently depict women as sexual objects. This can lead to women perceiving themselves in the same way, resulting in self-objectification. The theory was first proposed by psychologists [[Barbara Fredrickson]] and [[Tom Roberts]] in 1997.<br /> <br /> == Consequences ==<br /> <br /> Self-objectification has been associated with numerous negative psychological outcomes, including [[depression]], [[anxiety]], [[eating disorders]], and [[body shame]]. It can also lead to a decrease in [[cognitive function]] and [[sexual dysfunction]]. <br /> <br /> == Prevention and Treatment ==<br /> <br /> Prevention strategies often focus on media literacy programs to help individuals critically analyze media messages. Treatment can involve cognitive-behavioral therapy, which aims to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind people&#039;s difficulties.<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Objectification theory]]<br /> * [[Body image]]<br /> * [[Eating disorders]]<br /> * [[Sexual objectification]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Psychology]]<br /> [[Category:Mental health]]<br /> [[Category:Women&#039;s health]]<br /> [[Category:Body image]]<br /> <br /> {{psychology-stub}}<br /> {{medicine-stub}}</div>
