Performance and flow: a review and integration of self-objectification research

Abstract

In this chapter, we first consider the implications of objectification theory for performance outcomes and review evidence supporting Fredrickson and Roberts’s (1997) original claim that self-objectification usurps cognitive resources. We then discuss evidence to support three different reasons why self-objectification can be detrimental to performance. Finally, we draw on insights from the self-regulation literature (Carver & Scheier, 1998) to examine how these processes can be conceptualized within a single, parsimonious framework. We provide evidence from some of our most recent work to support this new framework and discuss how it can highlight useful new directions for future research.
