The proposed integrative process model of state self-objectification in women. According to the model, the induction of state self-objectification through objectifying situations (e.g., trying on a swimsuit) can trigger four social-psychological processes (mechanisms), which lead to the host of affective responses, and changes in cognitive performance, motivations, and behaviors that are reported in the experimental literature on this state. In the state self-objectification box, aspects of self-objectification for which additional empirical evidence is required appear in a light gray font; the empirically established aspect of this state appears in a black font.
