Grant Program:
Discovery Early Career Researcher Award
Grant Activity:
Testing socioeconomic and motivational influences on self-objectification
Purpose:
The rise of social media has seen a dramatic increase in self-objectification, a phenomenon where people derive their primary worth from physical attractiveness. Self-objectification has reached almost epidemic levels in Australia and has widespread negative implications for mental wellbeing and physical health, yet the reasons for its recent growth are unresolved. To better understand the conditions driving self-objectification, this project investigates the link between self-objectification, economic inequality, and status anxiety. Understanding the socioeconomic causes of self-objectification may provide needed insight into why it is rising among women and men, as well as targeted policy interventions to lessen its burden.
