This study extends the understanding of objectification theory by examining relationships among its key constructs, self-objectification and body shame, and variables related to early experiences and individual psychic structure. A sample of 245 young men and women, ages 18 to 25, completed self-report measures of self-objectification, body shame, attachment and parental appearance-based attitudes. Early relational dynamics around appearance were primed with a modified Early Memories task, in which participants wrote about their earliest memories with parental figures and those figures reactions' to their physical appearance. Results indicated that this prime was effective in eliciting state self-objectification in a subset of the sample. Results also indicated that various aspects of object relations had small associations with both self-objectification and body shame. Different aspects were associated with these phenomena for each gender, pointing to a stronger interpersonal influence on self-objectification and body shame for women than for men. In addition, results demonstrate that insecure attachment and mother's greater emphasis on appearance positively predicted body shame in both men and women. Further, for participants with insecure attachment styles, mother's appearance-related attitudes had a greater impact on body shame than father's attitudes. For participants with secure attachment styles, both parental figures' attitudes had similar effects. These results provide support for a psychoanalytic view, whereby social messages take hold by impacting family and psychic structure. Limitations of the study and directions for future research are discussed,
