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.

The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) is a widely used measure of body shape concerns that was originally designed for use with women but has more recently been used with boys and men. The latter use may be problematic, given that no previous study has demonstrated sex invariance for BSQ scores. To determine the extent to which BSQ scores are sex invariant, we asked Portuguese-speaking women ( n = 1,613) and men ( n = 871) to complete the full BSQ (34 items). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a hypothesized 32-item model of BSQ scores and shorter versions had acceptable fit indices in women and men, separately. However, multigroup confirmatory factor analysis showed that these BSQ model scores had configural but not metric, scalar, or strict sex invariance. Differential item analysis indicated significant item-functioning differences on 19 of the 32 retained BSQ items. Thus, BSQ scores are not sex invariant, making problematic the results of previous studies that have compared latent BSQ scores across sex.

Stres merupakan suatu kondisi ketegangan yang mempengaruhi emosi, proses berpikir dan kondisi fisik seseorang. Stres dapat menyebabkan seseorang kehilangan minat, nafsu makan memunculkan perasaan rendah diri bahkan lebih buruknya dapat membuat seseorang ingin bunuh diri. Pengaruh stres terhadap tubuh sangat besar, seseorang dengan tingkat stres yang tinggi dapat berpengaruh terhadap menurunnya daya tahan tubuh seseorang sehingga membuat seseorang menjadi mudah terserang berbagai macam penyakit. Berbagai macam alat ukur untuk mengukur stres dalam hal ini stres di tempat kerja telah banyak digunakan akan tetapi peneliti memilih menggunakan alat ukur yang dibuat oleh peneliti sendiri. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas konstruk untuk mendeteksi stres di tempat kerja. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini melibatkan 172 pekerja wanita di Jakarta Selatan dengan latar belakang pekerjaan yang berbeda. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan bantuan software Lisrel 8.7. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa terdapat beberapa item dalam skala stres kerja yang mengukur lebih dari satu faktor (multidimensional). Stress is a condition of tension that affects emotions, thought processes and one's physical condition. Stress can cause a person to lose interest, appetite to create feelings of inferiority even worse can make someone want to commit suicide. The influence of stress on the body is very large, a person with a high level of stress can affect a person's immune system so that someone becomes susceptible to various diseases. Various types of measuring instruments to measure stress in this case stress in the workplace has been widely used but researchers chose to use a measuring instrument made by the researchers themselves. Therefore this study aims to examine construct validity to detect stress in the workplace. The data used in this study involved 172 female workers in South Jakarta with different occupational backgrounds. The analytical method used is Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with the help of Lisrel 8.7 software. The results of the study prove that there are several items in the work stress scale that measure more than one (multidimensional) factor.

AbstractThe present study developed a Brazilian adaptation of the BAS for young adolescents, testing its factor structure by the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), concurrent and criterion validity, and its internal consistency. Participants were 347 adolescents (171 male and 176 female, aged between 10 and 13 years old). Three psychologists experts in psychological evaluation and three teachers of Portuguese of elementary school also participated for the adaptation stage of the items in order to be properly understood by the sample age group. There were few changes from the version culturally adapted for the Brazilian adult population. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were satisfactory for the general population and both sexes (.804; female =.851; male =.752). The one-factor model of the BAS was confirmed by the confirmatory factor analysis with good indicators for the measurements of adjustment to the model, χ2 = 77.9; GFI = 0.967; NFI = 0.940, CFI = 0.979; TLI = 0.968; RMSEA;.038). The convergent validity analyzes revealed significant correlations between BAS scores and BMI (r = –.230; p < .001) and between the first and body image satisfaction (r = .309; p < .001). The BAS version for Brazilian young adolescents had adequate levels of validity and reliability, keeping the one-dimensional structure which indicates its use in Brazilian adolescent’s samples.

Abstract Background: The objective of this study was to develop a scale to assess eating behaviors of school-aged children (6-12 years old) in China. Methods: To develop the scale, we reviewed the literature and conducted qualitative interviews. The draft scale contained 115 items and went through three evaluations among three groups of caregivers (n = 140, 400, 700) selected from suburban and urban kindergartens in Xi’an, Hanzhong, and Yanan, China, from March 2017 to October 2018. The psychometric properties of the score were assessed using exploratory, confirmatory factor analysis, and variability analysis. Results: The final scale consisted of 46 items across 8 dimensions including food fussiness, satiety responsiveness, food responsiveness, bad eating habits, susceptible diet, restrained eating, enjoyment of food, and junk food addiction. The total cumulative variance contribution rate was 52.16%. The scale dimensions and Cronbach’s α coefficients, Guttman split-half reliability, and test- retest reliability were all above 0.65. The fitting indices for the confirmatory factor analysis were all close to 1. The scores for education of caregiver, family structure, and the body mass index of children were different among dimensions and groups, thus suggesting good discriminative utility. Conclusions: All the results indicated that the scale has good reliability and construct validity for evaluating the eating behaviors of school-aged children in China.
