“…The media transmits body patterns through the mass media, such as television, magazines and cinema, so when adolescents are exposed to images that fit the current beauty pattern, they get the message of how they should look to be judged attractive (Watson & Vaughn, 2006). A greater influence of the mass media was associated with a greater risk of developing eating disorders among female adolescents (Montoya, Quenaya, & Mayta-Tristán, 2015). According to Rohde, Stice and Nathan Marti (2015), risk factors for eating disorders are present by early adolescence, although the diagnosis of eating disorders tends to emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood.…”

The study adapted the Questionnaire of Sociocultural Attitudes Regarding Appearance (SATAQ-3) for Brazilian adolescents. We tested the factorial structure using confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA), exploratory factorial analysis (EFA), concurrent validity and internal consistency in 347 adolescents (171 males) aged 10-13 years. The AFC did not find a good fit of our sample to the models. The AFE, however, resulted in satisfactory adjustment, with factorial structure of six factors explaining slightly more than 50% of the variance. Correlations between SATAQ-3 scores and body image estimation and satisfaction indices, as well as the Body Mass Index, showed concurrent validity of the instrument. The internal consistency is adequate for the general sample and for groups stratified by sex (α Cronbach> 0.804). It has been shown that SATAQ-3 is suitable for administration to Brazilian adolescents aged 10-13 years to analyze sociocultural pressures and the internalization of appearance ideals.
