PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY
What the study says.
Across 50 independent studies, greater sexualizing-media exposure was linked with more self-objectification on average. The pooled association is not a CFNM effect and should not be read as a prediction about one viewer.
平易な日本語要約
この研究から言えること。
独立した50研究をまとめると、性的に対象化するメディアへの接触が多いほど、平均して自己対象化が高い関連が報告されました。CFNMの効果ではなく、個々の鑑賞者を予測する結果でもありません。
LIMITATIONS / 限界
Read before generalizing.
Designs, media and measures varied; much of the evidence was correlational and concentrated on young participants and women. The pooled result does not establish one causal pathway for every medium or person.
