Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop and examine the psychometric properties of the Brief Body Avoidance and Checking Scale (BBACS) for physically active men. The BBACS is designed to assess the frequency of body checking and avoidance behaviors common among users of gyms and health clubs. Following development of an initial pool of items and content judgment, data from 325 men were collected from gym users and participants in organized sporting events. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit for a model with two factors and 12 items. Satisfactory evidence of construct validity and internal consistency was also generated through analysis of factor loadings, t-values, correlations with drive for muscularity and body satisfaction measures, group differences, Cronbach’s alpha, and construct reliability tests. The BBACS appears to be a valid and reliable scale for assessing the frequency of body checking and body avoidance behaviors among physically active men.

体力活动者身体回避与检查简易量表:研制与初步验证

本研究的目的是开发和检验体力活动男性的短暂身体回避和检查量表(BBACS)的心理测量特性。BBACS旨在评估健身房和健身俱乐部用户中常见的身体检查和回避行为的频率。在开发了最初的项目库和内容判断之后，从健身房用户和有组织的体育赛事参与者中收集了325名男性的数据。验证性因子分析表明，2个因子12个项目的模型拟合良好。通过分析因子负荷、t值、与肌肉和身体满意度驱动的相关性、组差异、Cronbach’s alpha和结构信度检验，也产生了令人满意的结构效度和内部一致性的证据。BBACS是一种有效、可靠的评估身体检查和身体回避行为频率的量表。

Manuscripts related to psychology, sport pedagogy, exercise and sport performance are suited to the Journal''s scope. IJSP''s aims are to disseminate results of rigorous and relevant studies, to expose positions and commentaries regarding the development of theory and confirmation or contradiction of previous findings. IJSP entertains various methodologies encompassing coherence among epistemology, research questions, tools, statistical or clinical analyses and discussion or potential applications. Qualitative and quantitative analyses as well as case studies are of interest when appropriately used. IJSP is comprised of the following sections related to human movement sciences: -Motor learning and control -Cognition -Health and exercise -Social psychology -Intervention / Clinical / counseling psychology
