Women are sexually objectified when viewed and treated by others as mere objects. Abundant research has examined the negative consequences of being the target of sexual objectification; however, limited attention has focused on the person doing the objectification. Our focus is on the agent and how self-regulatory resources influence sexual objectification. Consistent with prior evidence, we reasoned that people have a well-learned automatic response to objectify sexualized women, and as such, we expected objectifying a sexualized (vs. personalized) woman would deplete fewer regulatory resources than not objectifying her. Findings across three studies confirmed our expectations, demonstrating the extent to which people objectify a sexualized woman or not is influenced by the availability of regulatory resources, a case that heretofore has been absent from the literature. These patterns are discussed in the context of the sexual objectification and self-regulation literature.
当女性被他人视为纯粹的物体来看待和对待时，她们就会被性客体化。大量研究探讨了成为性客体化目标的负面后果；然而，对实施客体化行为的人的关注却很有限。我们关注的是实施者以及自我调节资源如何影响性客体化。与先前的证据一致，我们推断人们对将女性性化进行客体化有一种习得性的自动反应，因此，我们预计将一个性化（而非个性化）的女性进行客体化所消耗的调节资源要比不将其客体化更少。三项研究的结果证实了我们的预期，表明人们是否将一个性化的女性进行客体化在多大程度上受到调节资源可用性的影响，而这一情况在以往的文献中尚无记载。我们将在性客体化和自我调节文献的背景下讨论这些模式。
