Factor structure and psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire (BIAQ)

Background: Body image shame considerably contributes to the development and persistence of eating and body image disorders. Objectives: The current study was done to determine the psychometric properties of the body image shame scale and introduce a suitable measure for researchers and therapists in the field of psychological health. Methods: In this study, 409 (136 men and 273 females) individuals who referred to cosmetic surgery clinics in Tehran were chosen. The construct validity of the body image shame was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis and divergent and convergent validity. To assess the divergent and convergent validity of the body compassion scale, appearance anxiety inventory, dysmorphic concern questionnaire and Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale were used. Internal Consistency and test-retest reliability (4 weeks’ interval) were used to evaluate reliability. LISREL V8.80 and SSPS V20 were used for data analysis. Results: The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the two-factor model (internal and external body image shame) fitted the data (RMSEA = 0.07, NFI = 0.94, CFI = 0.92). Body image shame scale had a positive, significant correlation with dysmorphic concern, appearance anxiety, and self-criticism, and a negative, significant correlation with body compassion (P < 0.05). Also, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, for the whole of scale, internal body image shame, and external body image shame were 0.85, 0.79, and 0.82, respectively. Conclusions: Psychometric properties of the persian version of the body image shame scale were confirmed in this study. Therefore, it can be used as a valid instrument in research and clinical works in populations with concerns about body image.

Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ; Raedeke y Smith, 2001) es un instrumento que mide el burnout específico en el deporte el cual se ha utilizado a nivel mundial. En México aún no se cuenta con un estudio que valide sus propiedades psicométricas, por ello, el objetivo de este estudio es validar el Cuestionario de Burnout Deportivo (ABQ) en el contexto mexicano, mediante el análisis de fiabilidad, validez factorial de segundo orden e invarianza factorial por género. Se evaluó a 2,612 deportistas con la versión al castellano (Balaguer, Castillo, Duda, Quested y Morales, 2011) del Cuestionario del Burnout Deportivo (ABQ; Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, Raedeke y Smith, 2001). Los resultados muestran fiabilidad; se confirma una estructura factorial de segundo orden y las cargas factoriales e interceptos se consideran invariantes entre hombres y mujeres. Se concluye que el ABQ es instrumento apropiado para las investigaciones e intervenciones en el deporte del contexto mexicano. Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ, Raedeke and Smith, 2001) is an instrument that measures burnout in sport, widely spread and used worldwide. In Mexico there is still no study to validate its psychometric properties. Therefore, the objective of this study is to validate Cuestionario de Burnout Deportivo, evaluating reliability, factorial validity and factorial invariance by gender. We evaluated 2612 athletes with spanish version (Balaguer, Castillo, Duda, Quested and Morales, 2011) of Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). The results show satisfactory levels of reliability, a second-order factor structure is confirmed and factor charges and intercepts are considered invariant between men and women. It is concluded that ABQ is an appropriate instrument for research and interventions in sport of Mexican context.
