本研究在客观化理论的框架内，对整形手术的态度进行调查。100名以白人为主的英国本科生女性完成了自我报告，内容包括印象管理、全球自尊、人际性客观化、自我监督、身体羞耻感和整容态度的三个组成部分。正如预期的那样，每个客观化理论变量都预示着未来更多地考虑进行整容手术。同样，不出所料，性客观化和身体羞耻感能唯一预测整容手术的社会动机，而自我监控能唯一预测整容手术的个人动机。这些发现表明，女性接受整容手术作为一种操纵外表的方式，部分原因可以解释为她们通过性和自我客观化的镜头来看待自己的程度。
This study investigated cosmetic surgery attitudes within the framework of objectification theory. One hundred predominantly White, British undergraduate women completed self-report measures of impression management, global self-esteem, interpersonal sexual objectification, self-surveillance, body shame, and three components of cosmetic surgery attitudes. As expected, each of the objectification theory variables predicted greater consideration of having cosmetic surgery in the future. Also, as expected, sexual objectification and body shame uniquely predicted social motives for cosmetic surgery, whereas self-surveillance uniquely predicted intrapersonal motives for cosmetic surgery. These findings suggest that women's acceptance of cosmetic surgery as a way to manipulate physical appearance can be partially explained by the degree to which they view themselves through the lenses of sexual and self-objectification.
