Objectified body consciousness in African American and Caucasian college-age women of varying physical activity levels. - 204 p.

Little is known about the relationship between objectified body consciousness and a woman's physical activity level or racial/ethnic background. Defined as the degree to which a woman adopts a third-person perspective of herself—focusing more on observable attributes (i.e., How do I look?) as opposed to internal attributes (i.e., How do I feel? What can I do?)—objectified body consciousness represents a new, feminist approach to the study of women's body experience. Objectification, feminists propose, is the result of cultural, historical, and political factors, as opposed to psychological ones.

520 $a Little is known about the relationship between objectified body consciousness and a woman's physical activity level or racial/ethnic background. Defined as the degree to which a woman adopts a third-person perspective of herself—focusing more on observable attributes (i.e., How do I look?) as opposed to internal attributes (i.e., How do I feel?

Objectification, feminists propose, is the result of cultural, historical, and political factors, as opposed to psychological ones.
520 $a Two hundred and sixty-nine college-age women completed the Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (McKinley & Hyde, 1996), seventeen of whom also participated in an interview. These women were of four different physical activity levels (intercollegiate, recreational, exercising, non-active) and two racial/ethnic backgrounds (African American, White). Both the scale and the interview measured objectified body consciousness in terms of its three separate dimensions—surveillance, body shame, and body control beliefs.
520 $a The results suggest that objectified body consciousness varies as a level of both physical activity and racial/ethnic background. Recreational athletes demonstrated significantly lower scores on the surveillance scale than exercisers and non-active women. Intercollegiate athletes also scored lower than exercisers and non-active women on the surveillance scale, although not significantly so. African American women scored significantly lower than White women on the body shame scale. No other group differences emerged. All participants obtained relatively high scores on the body control beliefs scale. The interview analysis both supported and contradicted these findings. Conclusions are discussed in terms of previous psychological and feminist body research, while implications and directions for future research are offered as well.
