Abstract
Two experiments showed that objectified people reported higher vulnerability, hostile intent attributions, and aggression than nonobjectified people. Moreover, vulnerability and hostile intent attributions serially mediated the effect of sexual objectification on aggression. These findings highlight the importance of vulnerability and hostile intent attributions in understanding behavioral responses following sexual objectification.
