TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Technology-facilitated sexual harassment against women and psychological dysfunction: a test of objectification theory JO - Violence against women A1 - Oliver, Casey A1 - Cummings, Shayna A1 - Puiras, Erika A1 - Mazmanian, Dwight SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Objectification theory was tested to examine the potential mediating role of self-objectification in the relationship between technology-facilitated sexual harassment (TFSH) and psychological functioning in a sample of women (Nā=ā481). The results indicated that TFSH was associated with eating pathology, alcohol use, and sexual functioning. Furthermore, partial support for the objectification theory was achieved, with self-objectification potentially explaining the relationships between TFSH and eating pathology, and TFSH and alcohol use. This research may shed light on the role of objectification processes in the context of TFSH in women, as well as inform mental health interventions for women victims of TFSH.
