Resumen

La cosificación sexual interpersonal es la reducción de una mujer a su cuerpo o partes de éste. Este fenómeno puede ser considerado como una forma de discriminación sexista, en la que una mujer es tratada de manera diferente minimizando la importancia de sus atributos internos. Este estudio, en el que se incluyeron 251 participantes de población general, tiene como objetivo analizar el fenómeno de la cosificación sexual interpersonal en hombres y mujeres, y su relación con variables ideológicas (sexismo y poder), autoestima y disfrute de la sexualización. Los resultados mostraron diferencias de género en la cosificación sexual interpersonal, de modo que las mujeres experimentaron en mayor medida experiencias de cosificación en sus relaciones interpersonales. Además, se observó un patrón diferencial de las variables relacionadas con las experiencias de cosificación en función del género. En hombres, la autoestima y el poder fueron variables relacionadas con una mayor percepción de cosificación. En concreto, el poder predice una mayor percepción de cosificación y esta relación estuvo mediada por el disfrute de la sexualización. En las mujeres, es el sexismo benévolo el que lleva a una mayor percepción de cosificación sexual interpersonal y esta relación estuvo mediada por el disfrute de la sexualización.
