The rise of social media has seen a dramatic increase in self-objectification, a phenomenon where people derive their primary worth from physical attractiveness. Self-objectification has reached almost epidemic levels in Australia and has widespread negative implications for mental wellbeing and physical health, yet the reasons for its recent growth are unresolved. To better understand the conditions driving self-objectification, this project investigates the link between self-objectification, economic inequality, and status anxiety. Understanding the socioeconomic causes of self-objectification may provide needed insight into why it is rising among women and men, as well as targeted policy interventions to lessen its burden.

社交媒体的兴起见证了自我客观化的急剧增加，这是一种人们从外表吸引力中获得基本价值的现象。在澳大利亚，自我对象化已经达到了几乎流行的程度，对心理健康和身体健康产生了广泛的负面影响，但最近这种现象增长的原因尚未解决。为了更好地理解驱动自我客观化的条件，本项目调查了自我客观化、经济不平等和地位焦虑之间的联系。了解自我对象化的社会经济原因可能会提供必要的洞察，了解为什么这种现象在女性和男性中上升，并提供有针对性的政策干预，以减轻其负担。
