“…Only three studies have analyzed the psychometric properties of the BAS-2 among children (Halliwell, Jarman, Tylka, & Slater, 2017) and adolescents (Alcaraz-Ibá ñez et al, 2017;Lemoine et al, 2018) and, to the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted with geriatric populations over the age of 65. In line with the reported data in adult samples, findings in children and adolescents on the BAS and BAS-2 reflected the adaptive properties of body appreciation for body-related and psychological well-being (Atari et al, 2016;Halliwell et al, 2017;Lemoine et al, 2018;Lobera & Ríos, 2011;Moreira, Lorenzato, Neufeld, & Almeida, 2018). However, it remains unclear whether sex and age moderates body appreciation levels during these developmental stages.…”

“…Its associations with eating behavior were also found to be in a positive direction with intuitive eating (Pálmarsdóttir & Karlsdóttir, 2016;Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015a) and in a negative direction with maladaptive eating behavior (Swami, García et al, 2017;Torres, Barbosa, Meneses, Tylka, & Vieira, 2018). Measures of general wellbeing are documented with a positive relationship between BAS-2 scores and self-esteem, life satisfaction (e.g., Atari, Jamali, Bahrami-Ehsan, & Mohammadi, 2016;Namatame et al, 2017;Swami, García et al, 2017;Swami & Ng, 2015;Swami et al, 2016;Swami, García et al, 2017;Torres et al, 2018), positive life orientation (Alleva et al, 2016;Razmus & Razmus, 2017), positive affect (Razmus & Razmus, 2017;Torres et al, 2018), and proactive coping (Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015a). BAS-2 scores made an incremental contribution to self-esteem (Alleva et al, 2016;Namatame et al, 2017;Torres et al, 2018;Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015a), eating behavior (Namatame et al, 2017;Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015a), proactive coping (Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015a), and satisfaction with life (Namatame et al, 2017) over other positive body image-related constructs, providing evidence for its incremental validity.…”

“…Interest in aesthetic rhinoplasty was not associated with age, BMI, or birth order; however, our findings indicate that media consumption could be a potential predictive factor for considering this cosmetic procedure. 44,45 Differential validity of IARS was also assessed in study 3 using a case-control design. Results showed that those who desired aesthetic rhinoplasty had significantly higher scores on all items of the IARS.…”

Interest in cosmetic surgery is increasing, with rhinoplasty being one of the most popular surgical procedures. It is essential that surgeons identify patients with existing psychological conditions before any procedure. This study aimed to develop and validate the Interest in Aesthetic Rhinoplasty Scale (IARS). Four studies were conducted to develop the IARS and to evaluate different indices of validity (face, content, construct, criterion, and concurrent validities) and reliability (internal consistency, split-half coefficient, and temporal stability) of the scale. The four study samples included a total of 463 participants. Statistical analysis revealed satisfactory psychometric properties in all samples. Scores on the IARS were negatively correlated with self-esteem scores ( = -0.296; < 0.01) and positively associated with scores for psychopathologic symptoms ( = 0.164; < 0.05), social dysfunction ( = 0.268; < 0.01), and depression ( = 0.308; < 0.01). The internal and test-retest coefficients of consistency were found to be high (α = 0.93; intraclass coefficient = 0.94). Rhinoplasty patients were found to have significantly higher IARS scores than nonpatients ( < 0.001). Findings of the present studies provided evidence for face, content, construct, criterion, and concurrent validities and internal and test-retest reliability of the IARS. This evidence supports the use of the scale in clinical and research settings.

“…Fourth, women (but not men) who reported low facial feature esteem and men (but not women) who held beliefs that facial appearance perfection is attainable reported making more upward comparisons of facial attractiveness (Franzoi et al, 2012). Moreover, making more downward comparisons of facial attractiveness was associated with higher selfesteem, a more positive outlook on life in general, more body appreciation, and less interest in a rhinoplasty (Atari et al, 2017).…”

<p>Exposure to a face triggers a series of judgments about the person to which the face belongs. Some of the most widely studied judgments humans make from faces are evaluative judgments of facial attractiveness. These judgments are made frequently, automatically, and have important implications for judgments of other important social characteristics like trustworthiness and personality. A relatively understudied set of facial attractiveness judgments that are made from faces are comparative judgments, or social comparisons, of facial attractiveness. Based on social comparison theory, and what is known about evaluative judgments of facial attractiveness, it is likely that social comparisons of facial attractiveness are also frequent and have important implications. Despite this, little is known about social comparisons of facial attractiveness. To address this gap in the literature, three multi-method studies were conducted in this dissertation. The first was a systematic review to synthesize the existing research that directly or indirectly addressed social comparisons of facial attractiveness. Studies Two and Three empirically investigated whether or not social comparisons of facial attractiveness have features of automaticity. Study Two used a think aloud methodology to investigate the mandatory nature of social comparisons of facial attractiveness, whereas Study Three experimentally investigated how quickly social comparisons of facial attractiveness can be made. Together, these studies revealed more about how social comparisons of facial attractiveness occur and have theoretical implications for future research on the automaticity of mental processes more broadly.</p>
