PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY

What the study says.

Across a large international evidence base, women reported moderately higher self-objectification on average. A group average does not determine an individual’s agency, gaze or response to an artwork.

平易な日本語要約

この研究から言えること。

国際的な多数の研究をまとめると、女性は平均して男性より自己対象化がやや高いと報告しました。集団平均から、個人の主体性、視線、作品への反応は決められません。

LIMITATIONS / 限界

Read before generalizing.

Measures were heterogeneous; country-level moderators do not explain individual experience, and predominantly observational source studies cannot establish causes.

標本、測定、研究デザインの範囲を超えて一般化せず、相関を因果へ読み替えません。効果量、参加者数、研究数、国数は別の値として扱います。
