本研究旨在从客体化理论（B）的角度探讨女性一生中的身体意象。L. Fredrickson & T. a.罗伯茨1997年）。在一项横断面研究中，322名年龄从20岁到84岁的女性完成了一份问卷，测量身体的不满，自我客观化，及其拟议的后果。虽然身体不满在整个年龄范围内保持稳定，但自我客观化，习惯性身体监测，外观焦虑和饮食失调都随着年龄的增长而显着下降。自我客观化被发现调解年龄和饮食失调之间的关系。结果表明，客观化理论有助于阐明身体意象随年龄变化的过程。
This study aimed to investigate women's body image across the entire life span from within the theoretical perspective provided by objectification theory (B. L. Fredrickson & T.-A. Roberts. 1997). In a cross-sectional study, a sample of 322 women ranging in age from 20 to 84 years completed a questionnaire measuring body dissatisfaction, self-objectification, and its proposed consequences. Although body dissatisfaction remained stable across the age range, self-objectification, habitual body monitoring, appearance anxiety, and disordered eating symptomatology all significantly decreased with age. Self-objectification was found to mediate the relationship between age and disordered eating symptomatology. It was concluded that objectification theory helps clarify the processes involved in the changes in body image that occur with age.
