description |
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACE),
father-child bonding styles, self-objectification and self-sexualizing behaviors. In doing so, this
study also intended to find out if the relationship between these variables were mediated by
others approval-contingent self-worth (OASW). Thus, a sample of 269 participants, aged 21 to
35, were recruited via convenience sampling online using social media platforms Instagram,
Telegram and Whatsapp. Participants were tasked to complete a survey including demographics,
ACE questionnaire, Parental Bonding Instrument, OASW questionnaire, self-objectification
questionnaire, self-sexualizing behaviors questions and a shortened form of the social desirability
scale.
Results found that ACE was significantly associated with self-objectification (F = 14.819, p =
0.000). Additionally, paternal care (F = 11.501, p = 0.000) and paternal overprotection (F =
10.148, p = 0.000) were also significantly associated with self-objectification. None of the other
hypothesized relationships were observed. Additionally, the relationship between ACE and self-objectification was the only one significantly mediated by OASW.
In conclusion, ACE and paternal overprotection were significantly and positively associated with
self-objectification, while paternal care was significantly and negatively associated to self-objectification. This paper suggested areas for future research and discussed applying its findings
to reducing self-objectification. |
