“…Our results indicated that the two-factor model proposed by McCreary et al (2004) had adequate fit in the present sample. This is consistent with previous reports that this two-factor structure had adequate-to-good fit in Argentine (Compte et al, 2015), German, (Waldorf et al, 2014), and Mexican (Escoto et al, 2013). It is also broadly consistent with the derived factor structure in Brazilian men (Campana et al, 2013), although in that study three items were deleted to reach adequate fit.…”

“…More specifically, using CFA, we tested two models of the factor structure of the DMS: (i) the original two-factor model consisting of Muscularity-Oriented Body Image Attitudes and Muscularity-Oriented Behaviours (McCreary et al, 2004), and; (ii) a one-dimensional model where all items loaded onto a single latent variable (McCreary et al, 2004). Although three factor models are available for testing (Campana et al, 2013;Escoto et al, 2013), these either do not show adequate fit or have problems associated with stability. For these reasons, we focused on the parent factor structures in the present work.…”

IntroductionThe beginning of college studies involves important stress, which is related to an increase in the incidence of depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse and DEB. ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between DEB and nutritional status measured with BMI, its association with demographic and psychological variables, and the interaction with BMI. MethodA sample of 892 college students in their freshman year (502 females and 390 males) (X age =19.7; SD=2.9) was studied. Weight and height were measured, and validated questionnaires were used. ResultsThe prevalence of DEB was 6.1% in females and 4.1% in males. The prevalence of overweight and obesity in females was 22.6%, and 7.4% and 26.6% and 9.3% in males, respectively. Among women and men with obesity 10.8% and 11.1% showed high-DEB, whilst among overweight women and men 13.2% and 3.8% showed high-DEB, respectively. BMI increases the risk for DEB 1.6 times among women (p < 0.05), 1.4 times among men (p > 0.05). There was no interaction found between BMI and the other variables. Discussion and conclusionThe variables related with body image increase the risk of DEB significantly (p < 0.05) in both sexes. Depressive symptoms, low self-steem increase the risk among women, and socioeconomic status and study area increase the risk of DEB among men. The specific research of DEB among males is highly recommended to avoid the under registration of cases.

“…This instrument was translated into various languages demonstrating good psychometric properties. The drive for muscularity scale was validated in the samples of Asian American (Keum et al, 2015), Scottish (McPherson, McCarthy, McCreary, & McMillan, 2010), Malay (Swami et al, 2016), Romanian (Swami, Vintila, Tudorel, Goian, & Barron, 2018), Argentinian (Compte, Sepúlveda, de Pellegrin, & Blanco, 2015), Mexican (Escoto et al, 2013), French (Chaba et al, 2018), Italian (Nerini, Matera, Baroni, & Stefanile, 2016), Spanish (Sepulveda et al, 2016) samples of men. The majority of studies demonstrated good psychometric properties of the instrument (Kling, Kwakkenbos, Diedrichs, Rumsey, Frisén, et al, 2019…”

Background. The drive for muscularity in men is associated with a negative body image, psychosocial, and physiological outcomes. The aim of the present study was to test the psychometric properties of the Lithuanian version of the Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS-LT) and associated characteristics in the sample of young adults (men).Methods. The sample consisted of 763 male students. The ages ranged from 18 to 32 years, with a mean age of 20.4 (SD = 3.1). Participants completed the Lithuanian translation of DMS-LT alongside with the measures of disordered eating, sociocultural attitudes towards appearance questionnaire, body mass index, self-esteem, and participation in sports.Results. The instrument showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = .92) and test-retest reliability (ICC = .87). The two-dimensional factor structure of the proposed original scale was not confirmed. DMS-LT was negatively correlated with self-esteem. Positive associations were observed between DMS-LT, muscular/athletic body ideal internalization, and disordered eating. Drive for muscularity attitudes and behaviors were more expressed in male students attending sports clubs.Conclusions. The results of the present study support the psychometric properties of the DMS-LT and its’ use in Lithuanian samples of young men. The instrument might also be used in clinical practice. It is important to develop prevention programs that decrease body image concerns and prevent disordered eating in young men. Keywords: drive for muscularity, body image, psychometric properties of the scale, students.
