Abstract

The Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS) assesses an individual’s appreciation of their bodies' capabilities. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the French FAS across three separate samples. Three online samples were recruited: (1) 383 young women (study 1), (2) 285 young women (study 2), and (3) 210 adult men and 265 women (study 3). Samples (1) and (2) completed a French translation of the FAS twice in a three-week interval. Sample 2 completed only the FAS twice, whereas Sample 1 additionally completed other validated measures at baseline including validated measures of body appreciation, body satisfaction, body esteem, weight and shape concern, and physical appearance comparison at baseline. In study 1, exploratory factor analysis supported a unidimensional structure, and good test-retest reliability and convergent and divergent validity were found. In study 2, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) replicated this structure. In study 3, the structure was confirmed again through CFA in both women and men. The internal consistency, test-retest reliability and construct validity of its scores were sustained in both genders and gender invariance was supported. These results provide strong support for the French version of the FAS as a reliable and valid tool for use in French populations.

法语成人功能欣赏量表（FAS）法文译本的心理测量特征。

功能欣赏量表（FAS）评估一个人对自己身体能力的欣赏程度。这项研究旨在通过三个独立的样本来检验法国FAS的心理测量特性。三个在线样本被招募：(1)383名年轻女性（研究1），(2)285名年轻女性（研究2），(3)210名成年男性和265名女性（研究3）。样本(1)和(2)在三周的间隔内完成了两次FAS的法语翻译。样本2只完成了FAS两次，而样本1在基线时额外完成了其他有效测量，包括身体欣赏、身体满意度、身体尊重、体重和形状关注以及基线时的身体外观比较。在研究1中，探索性因子分析支持一维结构，具有良好的重测信度、收敛效度和发散效度。在研究2中，验证性因子分析（CFA）验证了这一结构。在研究3中，通过CFA再次确认了女性和男性的结构。其分数的内部一致性、重测信度和构念效度在两性中均保持不变，支持性别不变性。这些结果有力地支持了法语版FAS作为一个可靠和有效的工具在法国人群中使用。
