Labiaplasty, an invasive surgical procedure that reduces the size of the labia minora, has dramatically increased in popularity, particularly among adolescent and young adult women in Western cultures. To understand this increase, we examined two possible underlying factors: self-objectification and system justifying beliefs. In Study 1, we predicted that system justifying beliefs would moderate the relationship between self-objectification and the desire to undergo labiaplasty. In Study 2, we also examined the unique role of labia-specific surveillance. Moreover, we predicted that system justification would be related to differences in the labia lengths that were considered normal versus desirable. In both studies, system justifying beliefs moderated the effect of self-objectification on dissatisfaction with one’s labia and consideration for getting a labiaplasty, but the nature of this effect was different for general indicators of self-objectification and labia-specific surveillance.

自我客观化，系统证明信仰和阴唇成形术的兴起

阴唇整形术是一种可减小小阴唇大小的侵入性外科手术，其受欢迎程度已大大提高，尤其是在西方文化中的青少年和成年女性中。为了了解这种增加，我们研究了两个可能的潜在因素：自我客体化和系统证明信念。在研究1中，我们预测，有理由相信信念的系统会缓和自我客观化与进行阴唇成形术的欲望之间的关系。在研究2中，我们还检查了阴唇特定监视的独特作用。此外，我们预测系统的合理性将与被认为正常与合意的阴唇长度的差异有关。在两项研究中
