여대생의 성적 대상화 경험, 외모에 대한 사회문화적 기준의 내면화, 신체감시, 신체수치심이 취업스트레스에 미치는 영향

초록

On the basis of objectification theory, this study examined if interpersonal sexual objectification experiences would affect job search stress with medicating effect of internalization of sociocultural standards of beauty, body surveillance, and body shame among female undergraduates. Data were collected from a sample of 304 female juniors and seniors in universities located in Jeonbook province, and analyzed using the structural equation modeling. Results showed that the hypothesis model, which included the indirect link of body surveillance to job search stress through body shame, fitted better the data than the competing model adding the direct path between body surveillance and job search stress. These findings indicate that when female college students are repeatedly exposed to sexual objectification experiences in interpersonal relations they are likely to internalize sociocultural standards of body, to evaluate their body against those standards, to feel shame on their body, which in turn to add more job search stress. Implications for counseling and education are discussed and directions for future studies are suggested based on the limitations of this study.
