摘要:Self-objectification theory posits women and girls who self-objectify treat themselves as objects to be looked at and adopt an outsider’s perspective of their appearance. Our purpose was to identify how experiences of being teased related to self-objectification. Participants (n = 64) were adolescent females recruited from high schools. Data consisted of personal narratives that detailed an incident of appearance-based teasing. A content analysis of the narratives revealed participants were teased about their clothing, facial characteristics, weight, height, and hair. Ignoring teasing was reported as the most frequent response to a tease. High self-objectifiers reported purchasing new items to change their appearance in response to being teased.
