Abstract

Background: During adolescence, the attention of individuals has been observed to increasingly shift toward respective appearances, and this is primarily influenced by the various stages of puberty. Previous studies have reported that early body image disturbances may have long-term mental health impacts that persist into adulthood.

Purpose: This study aimed to translate and validate Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS), developed by Hart et al, for use among early adolescent girls in Indonesia.

Patients and methods: In order to achieve the stated objective, an adaptation process, guided by the International Test Commission (ITC) Guidelines for Adapting Tests was carried out. The process consisted of three stages including 1) forward and backward translations, 2) testing of reliability coefficients, and 3) collecting validity evidence through content-based and construct-based testing using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Data were collected online from respondents in Bandung, Indonesia, who were then asked to participate in a retest 1 month later. The final sample comprised 197 girls aged 10-14 years.

Results: The obtained results showed that content validity achieved an agreement rate exceeding 90%, and SAAS was observed to possess excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.932). Accordingly, test-retest reliability was stable (ICC (95% CI) = 0.850), convergent validity between SAAS and Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) was significantly positive (r = 0.439; p < 0.001), and CFA signified an acceptable model fit after modification (Model Chi-Square, p > 0.05; RMSEA = 0.036 < 0.08; CFI = 1 ≥ 0.90; GFI = 0.94 ≥ 0.90; Loading Factors > 0.3).

Conclusion: SAAS-Indonesia was observed to be sufficiently reliable and valid for use among early adolescent girls in Indonesia.

印尼早期少女社会外貌焦虑量表（SAAS）的印尼语翻译与适应

背景：在青春期，人们的注意力越来越多地转向各自的外表，这主要是受青春期不同阶段的影响。先前的研究报告称，早期的身体形象障碍可能会对心理健康产生长期影响，并持续到成年。目的：本研究旨在翻译和验证Hart等人开发的社会外表焦虑量表（SAAS），用于印度尼西亚早期青春期女孩。患者和方法：为了实现所述目标，在国际测试委员会《适应测试准则》的指导下开展了一个适应过程。该过程包括三个阶段：1)前向和后向翻译，2)信度系数测试，3)使用验证性因子分析（CFA）通过基于内容和基于结构的测试收集效度证据。数据在网上从印度尼西亚万隆的受访者那里收集，然后要求他们在1个月后参加重新测试。最后的样本包括197名10-14岁的女孩。结果：所得结果显示，内容效度一致性达90%以上，SAAS具有良好的内部一致性（Cronbach’s α = 0.932）。因此，重测信度稳定（ICC (95% CI) = 0.850）， SAAS与青少年社交焦虑量表（SAS-A）的收敛效度显著正(r = 0.439；p < 0.001)，修正后的CFA表明模型拟合可接受(模型卡方，p < 0.05；Rmsea = 0.036 < 0.08；Cfi = 1≥0.90；Gfi = 0.94≥0.90；装载因子> 0.3)。结论：SAAS-Indonesia在印度尼西亚早期少女中使用是足够可靠和有效的。
