Abstract

Body image concerns and body ideals are linked with eating disorders and psychological health. Body image and ideals among men differ by sexual orientation, which may influence the utility of common measures of such constructs. The present study used differential item functioning (DIF) analyses to examine whether item endorsement differs as a function of sexual orientation in three commonly used measures of body image concerns and ideals. Participants were sexual minority (n=209) and heterosexual (n=494) men in the United States. Scores on the Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS), Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4 (SATAQ-4), and Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (OBCS) were examined. DIF was tested in a three-step regression wherein item scores were predicted by: (1) subscale score, (2) subscale and sexual orientation, and (3) subscale, sexual orientation and their product term. Model fit and variance explain comparisons identified DIF. Δ pseudo R² value ≥ .035 from step 1 to 3 signified clinical significant DIF. There was no evidence of clinically significant DIF for the DMS, SATAQ-4, or OBSC. Findings suggest that DMS, SATAQ-4, and OBSC perform similarly for sexual minority and heterosexual men.

基于性取向的差异项目功能在男性身体形象关注和理想测量中的应用。

关注身体形象和身体理想与饮食失调和心理健康有关。男性的身体形象和理想因性取向而异，这可能会影响这些概念的常用测量方法的效用。本研究使用差异项目功能(DIF)分析来检验在三个常用的身体形象关注和理想指标中，项目认可是否作为性取向的函数而不同。参与者是美国的性少数群体(n=209)和异性恋者(n=494)。对肌肉动力量表(DMS)、社会文化对外貌的态度问卷-4 (SATAQ-4)和物化身体意识量表(OBCS)的得分进行了检查。采用三步回归方法对DIF进行检验，其中项目得分的预测方法为:(1)子量表得分，(2)子量表与性取向，(3)子量表与性取向及其产品项。模型拟合和方差解释了确定DIF的比较。Δ从步骤1到步骤3的伪R2值≥0.035，表示临床显著性DIF。没有证据表明DMS、SATAQ-4或OBSC有临床意义的DIF。研究结果表明，DMS、SATAQ-4和OBSC在性少数群体和异性恋男性中的表现相似。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Men & Masculinity is devoted to the dissemination of research, theory, and clinical scholarship that advances the psychology of men and masculinity. This discipline is defined broadly as the study of how boys" and men"s psychology is influenced and shaped by both sex and gender, and encompasses both the study of biological sex differences and similarities as well as of the social construction of gender. We are interested in work that arises from applied fields, such as clinical, counseling, and school psychology, and foundational areas such as social, developmental, and cognitive psychology, and the study of emotions. We welcome research using diverse methodologies, including both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
