Abstract

The aim of the study was to examine the relationship among Self-Objectification, Emotional Regulation and Perceived Stress in University students. The sample of University Students (N=200) with the age range of 19-24 years was recruited. Assessment measure included demographic form, Self -Objectification Scale (SOQ; Fredrickson et al.,1998), Emotional Regulation Scale (ERQ: Gross & John, 2003) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS: Cohen, 1983). The results showed that emotional regulation is significantly poitively related with perceived stress.However, the relationship of self objectification and perceived stress is not signficant. Moreover, Regression analysis revealed that the emotional regulation and type of institute are significant predictors of perceived stress. Furthermore, emotional regulation significantly mediated the relationship between self objectification and perceived stress.
