Background: A growing body of research has documented negative effects of sexualization in the media on individuals’ self-objectification. This research is predominantly built on studies examining traditional media, such as magazines and television, and young female samples. Furthermore, longitudinal studies are scarce, and research is missing stud...
The current study examined the links between viewing female and male sexualized Instagram images (SII) and body image concerns within the three-step process of self-objectification among adolescents aged 13–18 years from Germany ( N = 300, 61% female). Participants completed measures of SII use, thin- and muscular-ideal internalization, valuing app...

The current study explored the longitudinal associations of adolescents’ use of sexualized video games (SVG) and sexualized Instagram images (...

Questions
Question (1)
Hey,
for everyone who has already tried to use the Self-Objectification Questionnaire (SOQ; Noll & Fredrickson, 1998) in an online study: Did you find a good way to tackle issues that arise with the rank order format of the questionnaire? For example, I tried to use drag and drop and I found that too many of the participants made mistakes. Also, drag and drop didn't work properly on mobile phones.
Do you have any tips on how to avoid this problem?
Thank you for your suggestions!
Marika
