Abstract

In the present study, we explored the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Mandarin Chinese BAS-2 among adolescents residing in the Chinese mainland. Exploratory factor analysis in Study 1 (N = 790; 396 girls, 394 boys) supported the unidimensionality of the Mandarin Chinese BAS-2 among Chinese adolescents. Internal consistency reliability was upheld via McDonald’s omega. Convergent validity was supported by its moderate-to-strong relationships with body satisfaction, functionality satisfaction, self-esteem, life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect, while its small-to-moderate correlation with social desirability provided somewhat weaker discriminant validity support. Criterion-related validity was upheld by its inverse correlation with eating disorder symptomatology and positive correlation with intuitive eating. It explained unique variance in self-esteem (for girls and boys), eating disorder symptomatology (for girls), and intuitive eating (for boys) beyond age, body satisfaction, and functionality satisfaction, providing incremental validity evidence. A subsample of 134 girls and 114 boys completed the Mandarin Chinese BAS-2 again after three months, and test-retest reliability was upheld. The confirmatory factor analysis in Study 2 (N = 337; 192 girls, 145 boys) replicated the unidimensional structure and supported measurement invariance across gender. Collectively, the present study supported the unidimensionality, reliability, and validity of the Mandarin Chinese BAS-2′s scores among Chinese adolescents.

中国青少年身体鉴赏量表-2普通话版的心理计量特性。

在本研究中，我们探讨了居住在中国大陆的青少年的汉语普通话BAS-2的因子结构和心理测量学特性。研究 1（人数 = 790；女生 396 人，男生 394 人）中的探索性因素分析表明，中文普通话 BAS-2 在中国青少年中具有单维性。内部一致性信度通过麦氏欧米茄得到了证实。BAS-2与身体满意度、功能满意度、自尊、生活满意度、积极情绪和消极情绪之间的中-强相关关系支持了收敛效度，而与社会可取性之间的小-中相关关系则提供了较弱的判别效度支持。它与进食障碍症状呈反向相关，与直觉进食呈正向相关，从而支持了标准相关有效性。除了年龄、身体满意度和功能满意度之外，它还能解释自尊（女孩和男孩）、进食障碍症状（女孩）和直觉进食（男孩）的独特变异，提供了增量效度证据。134 名女生和 114 名男生在三个月后再次完成了中文普通话 BAS-2 的测试，测试的再测可靠性得到了保证。研究 2（N = 337；192 名女生，145 名男生）中的确认性因子分析复制了单维结构，并支持跨性别测量不变性。总之，本研究证实了中文普通话 BAS-2 在中国青少年中的单维性、信度和效度。

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.
