Abstract

The 13-item Body Acceptance by Others Scale-2 (BAOS-2) measures generalised perceptions of body acceptance by others. Here, we examined the psychometric properties of a novel Polish translation of the BAOS-2. A sample of 1183 adults (898 women, 285 men; age M = 28.98) from Poland completed a Polish version of the BAOS-2, alongside measures of body appreciation, pressure to conform to appearance ideals, self-compassion, self-esteem, and impression management. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis identified a stable unidimensional model of the Polish BAOS-2, with all 13 items retained. Additionally, the Polish BAOS-2 evidenced complete invariance (i.e., through to latent mean invariance) across gender identity. Scores on the BAOS-2 evidenced adequate composite reliability and, in a retest subsample (n = 260), showed complete invariance across four weeks. Evidence of convergent, criterion-related, discriminant, and incremental validity was very strong when based on observed BAOS-2 scores, but weaker when based on latent BAOS-2 scores. Whether examined at the observed or latent level, greater body acceptance by others was consistently and strongly associated with higher body appreciation. These results suggest that the psychometric properties of the Polish BAOS-2 are robust and that this instrument can be confidently utilised in future research with Polish adults.

波兰语版 "他人对身体接受度量表-2"（BAOS-2）的翻译和心理测量特性。

13个项目的《他人对身体接受度量表-2》（BAOS-2）测量的是他人对身体接受度的普遍看法。在此，我们对 BAOS-2 的波兰语新译本进行了心理计量特性测试。来自波兰的 1183 名成年人（898 名女性，285 名男性；年龄 M = 28.98）完成了波兰语版本的 BAOS-2，同时还完成了对身体欣赏、符合外表理想的压力、自我同情、自尊和印象管理的测量。探索性和确认性因子分析确定了波兰 BAOS-2 的稳定单维模型，保留了全部 13 个项目。此外，波兰 BAOS-2 在不同性别认同中表现出完全不变量（即通过潜平均值不变量）。BAOS-2 的得分显示出足够的综合可靠性，并且在重新测试的子样本（n = 260）中，显示出四周内的完全不变性。在观察 BAOS-2 分数的基础上，收敛效度、标准效度、判别效度和增量效度都非常高，但在观察 BAOS-2 潜在分数的基础上，收敛效度、标准效度、判别效度和增量效度都较低。无论是从观察还是从潜意识的角度来看，他人对身体的接受程度越高，身体欣赏水平越高，两者之间的联系就越紧密。这些结果表明，波兰 BAOS-2 的心理测量特性是可靠的，在未来对波兰成年人的研究中可以放心使用该工具。

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.
