Despite the high prevalence of sexual objectification, the understanding of gender differences in its victimization and perpetration remains limited. We bridged victim and perpetrator perspectives, expecting that objectification victimization positively predicts perpetration, and investigated the mediating role of social dominance orientation (SDO), and gender and perceived social mobility as moderators. Participants (valid N = 530) completed measures of sexual objectification victimization, perceived social mobility, SDO, and sexual objectification perpetration. We found that sexual objectification victimization predicted its perpetration, and that this relationship was stronger among men than women. SDO partially mediated the moderation effect of gender, whereby mediation through SDO was significant among men, but not significant among women. Moreover, a three-way interaction between sexual objectification victimization, gender, and perceived social mobility predicted SDO and carried subsequent implications for sexual objectification perpetration. Despite the mediation effect through SDO not achieving significance among women, it was significantly moderated by perceived social mobility. Specifically, the indirect effect among women with high perceived social mobility was significantly different than that among women with low perceived social mobility, but not significantly different than that among men, whose results were not influenced by perceived social mobility. This study provides a more nuanced understanding of gender in sexual objectification—specifically that gender differences may be related to social power and differences in socialization. The findings offer implications for the development of theories and clinical programs for coping with objectification victimization and preventing perpetration.

尽管性客体化非常普遍，但对其受害和实施中的性别差异的理解仍然有限。我们弥合了受害者和肇事者的观点，期望物化受害可以积极预测肇事者，并研究了社会支配取向 （SDO） 的中介作用，以及性别和感知的社会流动性作为调节因素。参与者 （有效 N = 530） 完成了性客体化受害、感知社会流动性、SDO 和性客体化犯罪的测量。我们发现，性客体化受害预示了其实施，并且这种关系在男性中比在女性之间更强。SDO 部分介导了性别的调节作用，其中通过 SDO 的中介在男性中显著，而在女性中不显著。此外，性客体化受害、性别和感知社会流动性之间的三向交互作用预测了 SDO，并对性客体化犯罪产生了后续影响。尽管通过 SDO 的中介效应在女性中没有达到显着性，但它受到感知的社会流动性的显着调节。具体来说，具有高感知社会流动性的女性的间接效应与感知到的低社会流动性的女性的间接效应显著不同，但与男性的间接效应没有显著差异，男性的结果不受感知到的社会流动性的影响。这项研究对性客体化中的性别提供了更细致的理解——特别是性别差异可能与社会权力和社会化差异有关。 这些发现为应对物化、受害和预防犯罪的理论和临床计划的发展提供了启示。
