Abstract/Summary

The study determined the differences in the level of self-objectification between female exotic dancers, college students and athletes. One hundred females, divided equally into each of the said occupations participated in the study, each answering the Self-Objectification Questionnaire (Fredrickson & Noll, 1998). It was found that the levels of self-objectification of female exotic dancers and college students are not significantly different from each other. The level of self-objectification of athletes on the other hand is significantly different from the other two occupations. This means that the female athletes are the ones least to objectify themselves.
