客体化理论（Fredrickson & Roberts，1997）认为，将自己的身体视为客体（即自我客体化）会增加抑郁症状。尽管迄今为止的一些研究发现美国白人女性的自我客体化和抑郁症状相关，但很少有研究检验这一发现是否适用于其他社会群体。我们通过大学女性和男性样本（N = 169）来研究亚裔美国人和美国白人的自我客体化和抑郁症状是否相关。自我客体化和抑郁症状在美国白人女性中呈正相关，但在美国白人男性或亚裔美国男性或女性中则不然。这些数据表明，客体化理论的参数受到种族/民族和性别的限制，自我客体化尤其可能使白人女性面临抑郁症状的风险。 (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Objectification Theory (Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997) posits that viewing one's body as an object - i.e., self-objectification - increases depressive symptomatology. Though a handful of studies to date have found self-objectification and depressive symptoms correlated among White American women, few studies have examined whether this finding generalizes to other social groups. We examine whether self-objectification and depressive symptoms are associated among Asian Americans and White Americans in a college sample of women and men (N = 169). Self-objectification and depressive symptoms were positively associated among White American women but not among White American men or Asian American men or women. These data suggest the parameters of Objectification Theory are circumscribed by both race/ethnicity and gender and self-objectification may put White women, in particular, at risk for depressive symptoms.
