To objectify another person is to dehumanize and treat that person as an object. Objectification has interested dress scholars, and some objectification scholars have acknowledged that clothing and bodies act to facilitate or resist objectification. Research purposes were to determine the extent to which dress had been used to evoke objectification in experiments when objectification was an outcome and to determine whether internal validity had been correctly established. Experimental objectification research was content analyzed using descriptive statistics. A database search resulted in 80 refereed empirical research articles containing 91 experiments. Dress was used to evoke objectification in 57 experiments; yet, many provided no rationale for using dress stimuli or conducted manipulation checks or stimulus pretests. These practices call into question the validity of research results and may explain inconsistent results. Opportunities for dress scholars and recommendations for teaching and for research best practices are offered.

着装在客观化研究中的应用

将另一个人物化就是去人性化并将该人视为客体。客体化引起了服装学者的兴趣，一些客体化学者承认服装和身体有助于或抵制客体化。研究目的是确定当客观化是一种结果时，服装在多大程度上被用来引起实验中的客观化，并确定内部有效性是否已正确建立。实验对象化研究使用描述性统计进行内容分析。数据库搜索产生了 80 篇参考实证研究文章，其中包含 91 个实验。在 57 个实验中，着装被用来唤起客观化；然而，许多人没有提供使用服装刺激或进行操作检查或刺激预测试的理由。这些做法对研究结果的有效性提出了质疑，并可能解释不一致的结果。为服装学者提供机会，并为教学和研究最佳实践提供建议。
