“…Research on this topic in non-Western settings is important, as cultural differences in attitudes toward cosmetic surgery exist. (8,9) In the present study, only 9 (0.8%) JC students and 5 (2.1%) medical students admitted to having undergone cosmetic procedures. As there is a lack of national data on the number of cosmetic procedures performed on patients of different age groups in Singapore, we were unable to make comparisons with our results.…”

“…However, no evidence supporting the invariant character across weight status for the BAS-2 has been provided to date. Finally, the psychometrics proprieties of the BAS-2 has not yet been tested in some of the cultural contexts in which the original version of the instrument (Avalos et al, 2005) failed to show a one-dimensional structure (e.g., the Brazilian one; Swami et al, 2011).…”

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) in Brazilian adolescents. The sample was comprised of 438 boys (Mage = 15.50, SDage = 1.20) and 402 girls (M = 15.51, SDage = 1.18). Confirmatory factor analyses supported a one-dimensional and partially invariant across-gender and weight status factor structure. The instrument showed adequate internal consistency and temporal stability over a two-week period. Body appreciation was negatively correlated with social physique anxiety and body mass index in both boys and girls. After controlling for social physique anxiety, body appreciation was positively and significantly correlated with life satisfaction in both genders. Significantly higher levels of body appreciation scores were found in men compared to women (d = .48) as well as in underweight and normoweight adolescents compared to the overweight and obese adolescents (d = .50). These findings suggest that the BAS-2 is a valid and reliable instrument to assess body appreciation in Brazilian adolescents. The BAS-2 could be useful for attaining a deeper insight into positive body image research as well as for improving clinical practice in the Brazilian context.

“…Validation testing of the Portuguese language version of the scale in Brazil 21 found that the scale presented the same factorial structure and distribution of questions when compared to the original scale with adequate reliability indices. For the sample of this study, internal reliability was found to vary from α = 0.90 to 0.92 among the factors.…”

Associations and differences between men and women on the acceptance of cosmetic plastic surgery in BrazilAssociações e diferenças entre homens e mulheres na aceitação de cirurgia plástica estética no Brasil ABSTRACT Background: Brazil ranks third among all countries in the number of cosmetic plastic sur gery procedures performed per year. The objective of this study was to examine the re lationship between acceptance of plastic surgery and bodily satisfaction, internalization of media messages, and other psychosocial variables in a convenience sample of male and female Brazilian adults. Methods: Non-probabilistic sampling was used to select a sample (n = 198) of an equal number of men and women for voluntary participation. All participants completed 5 study instruments that collected data used to perform correlation and variance analyses at a 95% level of significance. Results: A significant association between acceptance of cosmetic plastic surgery and the variables of internalization of media messages and bodily appreciation was found in both sexes. A significant association between acceptance of cosmetic plastic surgery and life satisfaction was found only in women. Except for differences regarding the decision to undergo surgery after having considered the risks, no other differences regarding the acceptance of cosmetic plastic surgery in general were found between men and women. Conclusions: Despite the small sample examined in this study, the findings largely accord with international observations and are expected to contribute to further understanding of the demand for cosmetic plastic surgery in Brazil.Keywords: Surgery, plastic. Propaganda. Personal satisfaction. RESUMO Introdução: O Brasil é o terceiro país no mundo em número de cirurgias plásticas estéticas.O objetivo deste estudo é verificar as correlações entre a aceitação de cirurgia plástica, a satisfação com o corpo e a internalização de mensagens midiáticas e outras variáveis psicossociais em uma amostra de adultos brasileiros, de ambos os sexos. Método: A amostragem foi não-probabilística, voluntária, composta por 198 pessoas, sendo 50% mulheres, que responderam os 5 instrumentos desta pesquisa. Na análise dos dados, foram usados testes de correlação e variância, com significância de 95%. Resultados: Há correlações significantes entre aceitação de cirurgia plástica estética, internalização da mídia e apreciação corporal, em ambos os sexos. A aceitação de cirurgia plástica estética correlaciona-se com a satisfação com a vida apenas entre as mulheres. Não há diferenças entre os sexos quanto à aceitação de cirurgia plástica estética de uma forma geral, apenas especificamente quanto à decisão de se submeter a cirurgia após análise dos riscos. Conclusões: Os dados da amostra apontam convergência com observações internacionais e, apesar da amostra restrita, espera-se contribuir para a compreensão ampliada da procura de cirurgia plástica estética em nosso País.Descritores: Cirurgia plástica. Propaganda. Satisfação pessoal.
