背景：贯穿所有形式的性客体化的共同点是被视为一个身体（或身体部位的集合）的体验，其价值主要在于为他人使用（或被他人消费）。如果女孩和妇女对自我采取一种独特的看法，这种效应被称为自我客体化，这可能会导致抑郁、性功能障碍和饮食失调。本研究的目的是调查科威特蒙着面纱和不戴面纱的穆斯林妇女的谦虚（就戴面纱而言，即头巾）对他人和自我、身体形象和饮食失调行为的客观化的影响。方法：这是一项通过在线调查进行的基于社区的横断面研究。受访者是居住在科威特的女性。结果：不戴头巾的女性比不戴头巾的女性更容易被他人物化。不戴面纱和不戴面纱的女性在自我客体化和饮食失调症状方面没有发现显着差异。衣着端庄与他人的客观化之间存在显着的负相关关系。衣着得体与自我客体化和饮食失调量表之间没有发现显着关系。对于他人客观化量表，数据显示该量表与饮食失调之间存在正相关关系。研究发现饮食失调与自我客体化呈负相关。结论：这项研究的结果很重要，因为它们清楚地表明了服装偏好/归属与饮食失调之间存在微弱的负相关关系。 (c) 2018 年作者由 S.

Background: The common thread running through all forms of sexual objectification is the experience of being treated as a body (or collection of body parts) valued predominantly for its use to (or consumption by) others. If girls and women adopt a peculiar view of the self, an effect called self-objectification, this may contribute to depression, sexual dysfunction, and eating disorders. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of modesty (in terms of veiling, i.e., hijab) on objectification, by others and by the self, body image, and behaviors indicative of eating disturbance in veiled and unveiled Muslim women in Kuwait. Methods: This is a community-based, cross-sectional study conducted through an online survey. The respondents were females living in Kuwait. Results: Unveiled women experienced more objectification by others than veiled women. There were no significant differences found between veiled and unveiled women in self-objectification and eating disorder symptomatology. There is a significant negative relationship between modesty of clothing and objectification by others. No significant relationship was found between modesty of clothing and the self-objectification and eating disorder scales. For the objectification by others scale, data show that there is a positive relationship between this scale and eating disorders. Eating disorders were found to have a negative relationship with self-objectification. Conclusion: The results of the study are significant as they clearly demonstrate a weak negative relationship between clothing preferences/affiliations and eating disorders.
