Interpersonal sexual objectification, or being treated as an object by others, is linked to poorer body image and, in turn, engagement in weight management behaviors that promote conformity to unrealistic appearance standards while simultaneously undermining health. Although these associations emerge consistently among women, the evidence has been less clear among men. The present study introduced a novel weight control behavior, food-restricted alcohol consumption (i.e., limiting food intake prior to alcohol consumption), and examined whether sexual objectification was associated with this phenomenon and whether this association differed among women and men. During the fall of 2012 and the spring of 2013, 410 undergraduates reported how often they felt objectified by others and restricted what they ate before drinking alcohol in the past month. Controlling for past drinking, sexual objectification was significantly and positively associated with food-restricted alcohol consumption for women; however, sexual objectification was unrelated to food-restricted alcohol consumption for men. The results suggest that sexual objectification might operate differently across the sexes and particularly be related to this specific health-risk behavior among women.
人际性客体化，即被他人当作物品对待，与较差的身体意象相关，进而与参与体重管理行为有关，这些行为促进人们符合不切实际的外表标准，同时损害健康。尽管这些关联在女性中始终存在，但在男性中的证据一直不太明确。本研究引入了一种新的体重控制行为，即限制饮酒前的食物摄入量，并研究性客体化是否与这一现象相关，以及这种关联在女性和男性中是否存在差异。在2012年秋季和2013年春季，410名本科生报告了他们在过去一个月中感觉被他人客体化的频率，以及饮酒前限制饮食的情况。在控制了过去的饮酒情况后，性客体化与女性限制饮酒前食物摄入量显著正相关；然而，性客体化与男性限制饮酒前食物摄入量无关。结果表明，性客体化在不同性别中的作用可能不同，尤其与女性的这种特定健康风险行为有关。
