Looking Like a Victim? 13 October 2017

Looking Like a Victim?

Dr. Andy Reilly has co-authored a new publication, “Dress, Body, and Experiences of Victimization,” published in the journal Fashion, Style & Popular Culture. It elucidates perceived relationships between aspects of appearance and experiences of any form of victimization from the perspective of survivors. He and his co-author Kim Johnson addressed three research questions: (1) what connection, if any, did survivors draw between their appearance and their experience of victimization? (2) What changes, if any, did survivors make to their appearance after their experience(s)? And (3) what advice on appearance, if any, would survivors give to others as a result of their experience? Five women and three men completed interviews. Participants identified appearance cues as stimuli evoking others’ behaviors towards them, and both general appearance attributes and specific attributes were credited with eliciting negative behaviors. The authors discovered that experiences with victimization often occurred when the individual was attempting to move into a culture that was new to them and that most participants altered or made adjustments to their appearance as a result of their victimization experience.
