Italian adolescents' body image and sociocultural influences: An investigation using the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4-Revised
Body dissatisfaction and eating disorders (EDs) are highly prevalent among adolescents, imposing a significant burden on this group. Therefore, a deeper investigation into the risk factors of these issues is urgently needed. In this regard, adopting a sociocultural framework can offer valuable insights; however, research on the assessment of appearance-related sociocultural pressures among adolescents remains limited. This study aimed to validate the Sociocultural Attitude Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4-Revised (SATAQ-4R) among Italian adolescents aged 13–17 years. A total of 692 girls (Mage = 15.5 years ± 1.16) and 450 boys (Mage = 15.2 years ± 1.21) completed the Female and Male versions of the SATAQ-4R along with other self-report tools assessing ED symptoms, body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, peer and family appearance pressure, drive for muscularity, and frequency of Instagram appearance comparisons. To investigate the SATAQ-4R factor structure, several models were tested. Measurement invariance across early and middle adolescent groups, reliability, and validity were addressed. The original 7-factor model yielded the best fit to the data for both boys and girls. This model was also invariant across age groups. Both the SATAQ-4R-Male and Female exhibited excellent psychometric properties in terms of construct and criterion validity, as well as internal consistency (McDonald’s omega values ranging from .79 to .93 for the SARAQ-4R-Male and from .82 to .93 for the SATAQ-4R-Female). Therefore, the SATAQ-4R can be considered a valid and reliable tool for measuring societal influences on body image among Italian adolescents. Research and practical implications are discussed.
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.
