Abstract

The ideals of beauty and appearance imposed by today’s popular society are becoming increasingly important in all stages of life. Correspondingly, research on the concepts of self-objectification, appearance anxiety, body image, and well-being has increased in recent years. Hence, this study aims to investigate whether social appearance anxiety and body image mediate the relation between self-objectification and subjective well-being in a Turkish sample. The study included 480 participants between the ages of 18 and 30. Participants were assessed using measurement tools for self-objectification, social appearance anxiety, body image, and subjective well-being. According to the serial mediation analysis, self-objectification had a negative effect on subjective well-being that was statistically significant. Additionally, it was concluded that social appearance anxiety and body image play a mediating role in the relationship between self-objectification and subjective well-being. It can be argued that the results obtained have both theoretical and practical importance for the related literature.

自我物化与主观幸福感:社会外表焦虑与身体形象的系列中介分析

当今流行社会所强加的美丽和外表的理想在生活的各个阶段变得越来越重要。相应地，近年来对自我物化、外貌焦虑、身体形象和幸福感等概念的研究也有所增加。因此，本研究旨在探讨社交外表焦虑和身体形象是否介导自我物化与主观幸福感之间的关系。这项研究包括480名年龄在18岁到30岁之间的参与者。参与者使用自我客观化、社会形象焦虑、身体形象和主观幸福感的测量工具进行评估。通过序列中介分析发现，自我物化对主观幸福感有显著的负向影响。此外，社会外表焦虑和身体形象在自我物化与主观幸福感的关系中起中介作用。可以认为，所得结果对相关文献具有理论和实践意义。
