Self‐objectification and disordered eating: A meta‐analysis
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: Objectification theory posits that self-objectification increases risk for disordered eating. METHOD: The current study sought to examine the relationship between self-objectification and disordered eating using meta-analytic techniques. RESULTS: Data from 53 cross-sectional studies (73 effect sizes) revealed a significant moderate positive overall effect (r = .39), which was moderated by gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and measurement of self-objectification. Specifically, larger effect sizes were associated with female samples and the Objectified Body Consciousness Scale. Effect sizes were smaller among heterosexual men and African American samples. Age, body mass index, country of origin, measurement of disordered eating, sample type and publication type were not significant moderators. DISCUSSION: Overall, results from the first meta-analysis to examine the relationship between self-objectification and disordered eating provide support for one of the major tenets of objectification theory and suggest that self-objectification may be a meaningful target in eating disorder interventions, though further work is needed to establish temporal and causal relationships. Findings highlight current gaps in the literature (e.g., limited representation of males, and ethnic and sexual minorities) with implications for guiding future research.

The relationship between social media and body image/eating disorder outcomes is shaped by the mediating pathways of thin / fit ideal internalisation, appearance comparisons, and self-objectification.
“This relationship is shaped by the mediating pathways of thin / fit ideal internalisation, appearance comparisons, and self-objectification, which have been supported by additional meta-analyses [3, 84, 85].”
From The social media diet: A scoping review to investigate the association between social media, body image and eating disorders amongst young people (2023) · cites this paper as [3]
The Discussion reports a moderate positive association between self-objectification and disordered eating (r = .39). The Conclusions say the cross-sectional evidence cannot establish self-objectification as a causal risk factor. The paper therefore supports the relevance of self-objectification, but not the claim that it mediates a relationship between social media and body-image or eating-disorder outcomes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
