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 Italian translation of the BAOS-2. Studies 1 (N = 401) and 2 (N = 393) supported a unidimensional model of the Italian BAOS-2 with all 13 items retained through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, respectively. Study 2 also supported measurement invariance of the Italian BAOS-2 across gender identity, with the gender difference in observed scores not reaching significance. In Study 3 (N = 365), we supported the construct validity of the Italian BAOS-2. Specifically, we found evidence of convergent validity (significant associations with indices of positive body image), criterion-related validity (significant associations with pressure to conform to appearance ideals and psychological well-being), and incremental validity (body acceptance predicted body appreciation over-and-above appearance-related pressure). These results suggest that the psychometric properties of the Italian BAOS-2 are robust and that this instrument can be confidently utilised in future research with Italian adults.

意大利语版 "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《他人对身体的接受程度量表-2》（BAOS-2）测量的是他人对身体接受程度的普遍看法。在此，我们研究了 BAOS-2 意大利语新译本的心理测量特性。研究 1（N = 401）和研究 2（N = 393）支持意大利语 BAOS-2 的单维模型，分别通过探索性和确认性因子分析保留了全部 13 个项目。研究 2 还支持意大利语 BAOS-2 在不同性别身份下的测量不变性，观察得分的性别差异未达到显著性。在研究 3（N = 365）中，我们证实了意大利语 BAOS-2 的构造效度。具体来说，我们发现了收敛效度（与积极身体形象指数有显著关联）、标准相关效度（与符合外貌理想的压力和心理健康有显著关联）和增量效度（身体接受度预测身体欣赏超过与外貌相关的压力）的证据。这些结果表明，意大利 BAOS-2 的心理测量特性是可靠的，在未来对意大利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.
