Although objectification theory posits negative consequences of self-objectification for adolescent girls, few studies have tested how objectification and sexualization contribute to mental health for youth of color. Accordingly, the current study explores the relations among body surveillance, enjoyment of sexualization, and mental health for a sample of 473 Black and White adolescent girls (Mage = 15.21, SD = 1.43). As expected, body surveillance and enjoyment of sexualization were associated with various forms of diminished well-being. Race moderated two of these links, with Black girls who reported higher levels of body surveillance also reporting higher levels of depression and hostility compared with their White peers. Future work should examine the implications of enjoyment of sexualization for youth of color.
虽然客观化理论认为自我客观化对少女有负面影响，但很少有研究检验客观化和性化如何影响有色人种青年的心理健康。因此，本研究探讨了身体监控、享受性化与 473 名黑人和白人少女（平均年龄=15.21，标准差=1.43）心理健康之间的关系。正如预期的那样，身体监控和享受性化与各种形式的幸福感下降有关。种族调节了其中两个联系，报告身体监控水平较高的黑人女孩比其白人同龄人报告更高水平的抑郁和敌意。未来的工作应该研究享受性化对有色人种青年的影响。
