Abstract
Body image is a multidimensional construct that includes both aesthetic (how our body looks) and functional components (what our body can do physically). Our study aimed to investigate latent structure and measurement invariance (MI) by gender of the Serbian translation of Embodied Image Scale using a large sample of adults from the general population (N = 1035; M = 26.33, SD = 9.94; 66.7% females). The Embodied Image Scale (EIS) incorporates aesthetic and functional body image. According to the results of the confirmatory factor analysis, the following five factors described the latent structure of the EIS the best: functional investment (FI), functional values (FV), functional satisfaction (FS), aesthetic satisfaction (AS), and aesthetic values and investment (AVI). The results of the MI suggested that the EIS achieved the strict (residual) level of invariance. In addition, the convergent validity of the EIS was tested by correlating the EIS scores with positive and negative mental health indicators. The results suggested that FV, FI, FS, and AS had a positive correlation with positive affect and unconditional self-acceptance (USA), FS and AS correlated negatively with negative affect (NA), symptoms of depression (D), and conditional self-acceptance (CSA), while the AVI had a positive correlation with NA, CSA, D, and negative correlation with USA. Finally, we compared physically inactive participants, recreationists, and active athletes on the EIS scores. The results revealed that all groups differed in FV, FS, and AS in a way that scores on these subscales increased with increased physical activity.
身体形象是一种多维结构,包括审美(我们的身体看起来如何)和功能(我们的身体能做什么)两部分。我们的研究旨在调查塞尔维亚语翻译的 "身体形象量表 "的潜在结构和测量不变量(MI),使用的是来自普通人群的大量成人样本(样本数 = 1035;男 = 26.33,女 = 9.94;66.7% 为女性)。具身形象量表(EIS)包含美学和功能性身体形象。根据确证因子分析的结果,以下五个因子对 EIS 的潜在结构描述得最好:功能投资(FI)、功能价值(FV)、功能满意度(FS)、审美满意度(AS)以及审美价值和投资(AVI)。多元智能的结果表明,EIS 达到了严格的(残差)不变性水平。此外,通过将 EIS 分数与积极和消极心理健康指标相关联,检验了 EIS 的收敛效度。结果表明,FV、FI、FS 和 AS 与积极情绪和无条件自我接纳(USA)呈正相关,FS 和 AS 与消极情绪(NA)、抑郁症状(D)和有条件自我接纳(CSA)呈负相关,而 AVI 与 NA、CSA、D 呈正相关,与 USA 呈负相关。最后,我们比较了非体育活动参与者、娱乐活动参与者和体育活动参与者的 EIS 分数。结果显示,所有组别在 FV、FS 和 AS 方面都存在差异,即这些分量表的得分随着运动量的增加而增加。
