Abstract

Although positive body image is associated with mental and physical health benefits, there is a relative dearth of research investigating the psychometric properties of commonly used measures of positive body image among Hispanic/Latina women in the United States. The current study explored the psychometric properties of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2; Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015a) and the Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS; Alleva et al., 2017) in undergraduate women. Altogether 565 undergraduates (n = 386 Hispanic/Latina; n = 179 non-Hispanic White [NHW]) completed the BAS-2, FAS, and demographic questionnaires. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and measurement invariance testing across ethnicity was conducted on each measure. The CFA confirmed the 1-factor, 10-item model of the BAS-2 among Hispanic/Latina women but indicated a less than adequate model fit for the FAS which improved after correlating the residuals of items 6 and 7. Measurement invariance testing revealed evidence of partial scalar invariance of the BAS-2 and full invariance of the FAS across ethnicity. There were no significant mean differences between groups on the measures. These analyses indicate acceptable psychometric properties of the BAS-2 and FAS among Hispanic/Latina women. Nonetheless, they did suggest potentially meaningful group differences in how these items behaved, which warrant further exploration.

西班牙裔/拉丁裔女大学生积极身体形象的两种测量方法的测量不变性
虽然积极的身体形象与身心健康的益处有关,但对美国拉美裔妇女中常用的积极身体形象测量方法的心理测量特性进行调查的研究相对缺乏。本研究探讨了身体鉴赏量表-2(BAS-2;Tylka & Wood-Barcalow,2015a)和功能鉴赏量表(FAS;Alleva 等人,2017)在本科女生中的心理测量特性。共有 565 名本科生(n = 386 名西班牙裔/拉丁裔;n = 179 名非西班牙裔白人 [NHW])完成了 BAS-2、FAS 和人口统计学问卷。对每项测量进行了确认性因子分析(CFA)和跨种族测量不变量测试。CFA确认了西班牙裔/拉丁裔妇女的BAS-2的1因素10项目模型,但表明FAS的模型拟合度不够,在对项目6和项目7的残差进行相关分析后,模型拟合度有所提高。测量不变性测试表明,BAS-2 具有部分标度不变性,FAS 具有跨种族的完全不变性。各组之间在测量上没有明显的平均差异。这些分析表明,BAS-2 和 FAS 在西班牙裔/拉丁裔女性中的心理测量特性是可以接受的。不过,这些分析也表明,这些项目的表现可能存在有意义的群体差异,这值得进一步探讨。

期刊介绍: Body Image is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, scientific articles on body image and human physical appearance. Body Image is a multi-faceted concept that refers to persons perceptions and attitudes about their own body, particularly but not exclusively its appearance. The journal invites contributions from a broad range of disciplines-psychological science, other social and behavioral sciences, and medical and health sciences. The journal publishes original research articles, brief research reports, theoretical and review papers, and science-based practitioner reports of interest. Dissertation abstracts are also published online, and the journal gives an annual award for the best doctoral dissertation in this field.
