Development of Japanese version of the Body Appreciation Scale-2

Abstract

Cathexis Scale を開発しており，日本においても当該 尺度を参考にして，身体満足度尺度(柴田， 1990)が 作成されている。また，Franzoi & Shields(1984)は 自己の身体の様々な側面をどの程度好んでいるかを測 定する Body Esteem Scale を開発した。さらに，Brown, Cash, & Mikulka (1990)は Multidimensional Body Self-Relations Questionnaire を開発しており，その appearance evaluation 下位尺度では，どの程度自分が外見的に魅力 的であると考えているかを測定することができる。た だし，これらの尺度は，個人の外見に対する満足度の み測定している。ポジティブボディイメージは，身体 満足感や外見への好意的な評価にとどまらぬ多次元的 概念である(Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015b)ため，前 述の尺度はポジティブボディイメージの測定尺度とし ては不十分である。 上記のような尺度の存在を踏まえた上で，より包 括的なポジティブボディイメージ測定尺度であると 考 え ら れ る の が，Avalos et al.(2005) に よ る Body Appreciation Scale(以 下，BAS と す る) で あ る。 Body Appreciation (以下，ボディ・アプリシエーショ ポジティブボディイメージを測定する BAS-2 の日本語版作成 生田目 光 宇野 カオリ 沢宮 容子 筑波大学 Development of Japanese version of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 Hikari Namatame, Kaori Uno, and Yoko Sawamiya (University of Tsukuba) This study developed a Japanese version of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2), a measure for a comprehensive assessment of positive body image, and investigated its reliability and validity. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that, like the original version, the Japanese BAS-2 had a one-factor structure and invariance across gender. Body appreciation scores had good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity. Furthermore, the scale exhibited incremental validity by predicting psychological elements (disordered eating, self-esteem, and satisfaction with life) above and beyond body dissatisfaction. Thus, the BAS-2 is suitable for the assessment of positive body image in the Japanese population.

Factor structure and psychometric properties of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 among adolescents and young adults in Danish, Portuguese, and Swedish

“…(2017), and Razmus and Razmus (2017) found no difference between men and women in 77 mainland China, Spain, and Poland respectively, most studies reported that men have 78 significantly higher body appreciation than women, with a small or moderate effect size, 79 Moreover, in order to compare the level of positive body image among different 97 cultures, it is essential to examine the cross-cultural equivalence of the BAS-2 (Swami, 98 García, et al, 2017). Even though the BAS-2 has been used among more than 10 culture 99 groups (e.g., Atari, 2016; Kertechian & Swami, 2017;Namatame et al, 2017), its cross-100 cultural measurement invariance has not been tested. Although the BAS-2 has been validated 101 in many countries, it has not been validated in Denmark, Portugal, and Sweden.…”

Visual Hand Recognition in Hand Laterality and Self-Other Discrimination Tasks: Relationships to Autistic Traits and Positive Body Image

“…The Body Appreciation Scale-2 ( Tylka and Wood-Barcalow, 2015 ; Japanese version: Namatame et al, 2017 ) is a widely used 10-item questionnaire on positive body image. This is a revision of the original 13-item BAS ( Avalos et al, 2005 ).…”

“…All participants completed the Japanese pencil-and-paper versions of the AQ ( Wakabayashi et al, 2004 ) and BAS-2 ( Namatame et al, 2017 ) tests after performing the visual hand recognition tasks. The items in the AQ (e.g., “It does not upset me when my daily routine is disturbed”) are answered on a 4-point Likert scale (“definitely agree,” “slightly agree,” “slightly disagree,” and “definitely disagree”), while the participants rated each item of the BAS-2 (e.g., “Despite its flaws, I accept my body for what it is”) to indicate whether the question was true about the participant’s approval and acceptance of their own body, noted on a 5-point scale (i.e., never = 1, seldom = 2, sometimes = 3, often = 4, and always = 5).…”

“…The present study investigated how the individual traits of TD university students (who had not been diagnosed) modulated their performance in hand laterality judgment and self-other discrimination tasks using the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) test ( Baron-Cohen et al, 2001 ; Japanese version: Wakabayashi et al, 2004 ) and the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2; Tylka and Wood-Barcalow, 2015 ; Japanese version: Namatame et al, 2017 ). Specifically, we focused on whether and how the differences in parameters (e.g., accuracy, reaction time, etc.)…”

Adaptação transcultural e características psicométricas de dois instrumentos de avaliação da imagem corporal positiva para o Brasil

“…Thus, the results of EFA-based studies have shown that BAS-2 scores are one-dimensional in college samples from Hong Kong , Iran , the Netherlands , and the United Arab Emirates , as well as a community sample from Serbia (Jovic, Sforza, Jovanonic, & Jovic, 2017). Likewise, the results of CFAbased studies have shown adequate fit of the one-dimensional factor structure in a staff-andstudent sample from mainland China , college samples from France , Iran (Hosseini, Karimi, & Rabiei, 2018), Japan (Namatame, Uno, & Sawamiya, 2017), and Romania , adolescents from Denmark, Portugal, and Sweden , teachers from Turkey (Anlı, Akın, Eker, & Özcelik, 2015), older adults from Portugal , and community samples from Malaysia , Poland , and Spain .…”
