客观化理论认为，女性的身体有时被简化为她们的性身体部位。此外，认知心理学领域的大量文献表明，整体处理是人识别的基础，而局部处理是物体识别的基础。综合这些文献，我们介绍和测试的性身体部位识别偏见的假设，女性（与男性）的身体将减少到他们的性身体部位在知觉者的头脑。具体来说，我们采用了部分与整体识别范式，这是一个强大的指标，本地与全球处理。两个实验的结果表明，女性的身体在感知者的脑海中被简化为她们的性身体部位。我们还发现，局部加工有助于性身体部位的识别偏差，而全球加工temperedit.Implications性客体化及其潜在的过程和动机进行了讨论。版权所有（c）2012约翰威利父子有限公司
Objectification theory suggests that the bodies of women are sometimes reduced to their sexual body parts. As well, an extensive literature in cognitive psychology suggests that global processing underlies person recognition, whereas local processing underlies object recognition. Integrating these literatures, we introduced and tested the sexual body part recognition bias hypothesis that women's (versus men's) bodies would be reduced to their sexual body parts in the minds of perceivers. Specifically, we adopted the parts versus whole body recognition paradigm, which is a robust indicator of local versus global processing. The findings across two experiments showed that women's bodies were reduced to their sexual body parts in perceivers' minds. We also found that local processing contributed to the sexual body part recognition bias, whereas global processing tempered it. Implications for sexual objectification and its underlying processes and motives are discussed. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
