“…There is also a version for children -the BAS-2C (Halliwell et al, 2017) -but, to the best of our knowledge, it is only available for administration in English and Japanese. Both versions have demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties, including a consistent single factor structure, adequate internal consistency and good test-retest reliability over four (Namatame et al, 2020) and six weeks (Halliwell et al, 2017). Convergent validity of the BAS-2C was supported in both language versions.…”

“…The original version of the BAS-2C made an incremental contribution to positive and negative affect above and beyond bodyesteem, providing evidence for its incremental validity (Halliwell et al, 2017). The Japanese version was invariant across sex (Namatame et al, 2020). Sex differences were only seen in the English sample, with boys showing higher body appreciation than girls (Halliwell et al, 2017).…”

“…Convergent validity of the BAS-2C was supported in both language versions. The BAS-2C was significantly and positively correlated with body-esteem (Halliwell et al, 2017), self-esteem, and life satisfaction (Namatame et al, 2020), and negatively correlated with body surveillance, awareness of media influence, internalization of media influence, and media influence pressures (Halliwell et al, 2017). The original version of the BAS-2C made an incremental contribution to positive and negative affect above and beyond bodyesteem, providing evidence for its incremental validity (Halliwell et al, 2017).…”

“…Predictions were made based on previous research with the BAS-2C, and incorporating findings from the BAS-2 in adolescents, whenever information regarding the children's version was unavailable. We hypothesized that the BAS-2C would yield a one-dimensional factor structure and its items would be internally consistent (Halliwell et al, 2017;Namatame et al, 2020). We expected that the BAS-2C would be invariant across sex (Namatame et al, 2020).…”
