Self-objectification is a common and deleterious phenomenon among young teenage girls, for which interpersonal sexual objectification experiences are a great risk; in the current information era, sexual objectification experiences may also expand into the online space. Based on this, this study aimed to examine the association between online interpersonal sexual objectification (OISO) experiences and teenage girls' self-objectification, as well as the potential moderating role of broad conceptualization of beauty in relation to this. Seven hundred and seventy-one female undergraduate students were recruited voluntarily to complete questionnaires on OISO experiences, self-objectification, and the broad conceptualization of beauty. Results indicated that OISO experiences were positively associated with teenage girls; self-objectification and the broad conceptualization of beauty could significantly buffer this relation, which was weakened among individuals with a high level of broad conceptualization of beauty. This study expands previous research on sexual objectification, providing practical significance for promoting the well-being of teenage girls.
自我物化在青少年女孩中是一种常见且有害的现象，人际间的性物化经历对此构成了巨大风险；在当前的信息时代，性物化经历也可能扩展到网络空间。基于此，本研究旨在考察在线人际性物化（OISO）经历与青少年女孩自我物化之间的关联，以及广义美的概念在此方面可能起到的调节作用。七百七十一名女大学生被自愿招募来完成关于OISO经历、自我物化和广义美的概念的问卷调查。结果表明，OISO经历与青少年女孩的自我物化呈正相关，广义美的概念能够显著缓冲这种关系，在广义美概念水平较高的个体中这种关系会减弱。本研究扩展了以往关于性物化的研究，为促进青少年女孩的幸福提供了实际意义。
