Abstract

This study evaluated the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the Body Talk Scale (BTS), designed to measure negative fat talk, negative muscle talk, and positive body talk. The study also explored the longitudinal associations between each body talk category and body dissatisfaction. We conducted two separate studies among university students in Japan. Separate confirmatory factor analyses for female and male data indicated that the initially proposed three-factor model demonstrated an acceptable fit, whereas the bi-factor model provided a better fit. The Japanese BTS showed good construct validity, acceptable to adequate internal consistency, and test-retest reliability within 2 weeks. A four-week longitudinal study involving 386 women and 216 men (mean age = 19.22 and 19.62, respectively) revealed that negative fat talk predicted an increase in the discrepancy between the thin ideal body image and the actual body image among women. In contrast, positive body talk was linked to reduced body dissatisfaction and body image discrepancy in women. There were no such significant associations in men. These findings support the use of the Japanese BTS as a valuable instrument for future research on the intrapersonal and interpersonal effects of various types of body talk.

日本大学生的身体语言和身体不满意度:使用日本身体语言量表进行的纵向研究
本研究评估了日文版身体谈话量表(BTS)的可靠性和有效性,该量表旨在测量消极的脂肪谈话、消极的肌肉谈话和积极的身体谈话。研究还探讨了每种身体谈话类别与身体不满意度之间的纵向关联。我们在日本的大学生中分别进行了两项研究。对女性和男性数据分别进行的确认性因素分析表明,最初提出的三因素模型的拟合度可以接受,而双因素模型的拟合度更高。日本的 BTS 显示出良好的建构效度、可接受到足够的内部一致性以及两周内的重测可靠性。一项为期四周、涉及 386 名女性和 216 名男性(平均年龄分别为 19.22 岁和 19.62 岁)的纵向研究显示,消极的肥胖谈话预示着女性瘦削的理想身体形象与实际身体形象之间差异的增加。相反,积极的身体谈话则与女性身体不满意度和身体形象差异的减少有关。男性则没有这种明显的关联。这些研究结果支持将日本的 BTS 作为一种有价值的工具,用于未来对各种身体谈话的人内和人际影响的研究。

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.
