While the literature has shown that sexually objectifying women leads to negative outcomes for the target and perceiver, measures of objectification perpetration are often adaptations of measures designed to assess targets' self-objectification or reported experiences of objectifying behaviors. In the present article, we introduce the Objectification Perpetration Scale (OPS) that assesses not only men's perpetration of objectifying behaviors directed toward women but also their objectifying cognitions and beliefs. Data from 855 men were collected across two studies. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in the first sample revealed two distinct factors and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in the second, independent sample, supported the factor structure of the newly developed 16-item OPS, including: sex-based (10 items) and appearance-based (6 items) objectification perpetration. Supporting its construct validity, scores on the OPS and the subscales were positively associated with scores on other measures of objectification perpetration, measures of sexual violence perpetration, and sexual exchange and misogynistic ideologies. The OPS contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the objectification perpetration phenomenon, including objectification that reduces women to either their sexual appeal or appearance.

虽然文献表明对女性进行性物化会给目标和感知者带来负面后果，但对物化行为的实施进行衡量的方法往往是基于评估目标自我物化或报告的物化行为体验的方法改编而来的。在本文中，我们引入了物化行为实施量表（OPS），该量表不仅评估了男性对女性实施的物化行为，还评估了他们的物化认知和信念。在两项研究中，共收集了 855 名男性的数据。在第一个样本中的探索性因素分析（EFA）显示了两个不同的因素，在第二个独立样本中的验证性因素分析（CFA）支持了新开发的 16 项 OPS 的因素结构，包括：基于性别的（10 项）和基于外貌的（6 项）物化行为实施。支持其结构效度，OPS 和子量表的得分与其他物化行为实施的衡量标准、性暴力实施的衡量标准以及性交换和厌恶女性的意识形态的得分呈正相关。OPS 有助于更全面地理解物化行为实施现象，包括将女性物化贬低为性吸引力或外貌的行为。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
