“…In this perspective, the removed items can be regarded as less relevant for analyzing the impact of breast cancer on body image of Brazilian women. In fact, other studies found differences in scales produced in other cultures when validated for Brazilians (Campana et al, 2009;Gouveia, Singelis, & Coelho, 2002;Swami et al, 2011).…”

The body image is an important aspect to be considered during the treatment of women with breast cancer. Therefore, we understand the importance of the quality of an instrument that evaluates this condition. The instrument validated in this study can bring new possibilities of studying the effects of cancer treatments on body image. Validation of the questionnaire, translation, cultural adaptation and pre-tests were done with women with breast cancer residents of the States of Alagoas, Pernambuco and São Paulo. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) demonstrated that the original model of the instrument is valid, reliable and can be an important tool for identifying the impact of breast cancer on body image of women with this health condition, allowing adjustments in clinical treatment, psychological support and actions of other professionals involved in the treatment.

“…Some of the previous studies relied on exploratory approach; however, due to the violation of assumptions of exploratory factor analysis, results varied in 11-item three-factor model [4] and 13-item three-and fourfactor solution [5]. Other studies relied on confirmatory approach; however, alongside with looking for well fitted model, authors relied on modification indices and extraction of items [6]. Due to the lack of the factorial structure clarity of the BIAQ, we have decided to use exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) approach.…”

“…The natural consequence of described steps is the difficulty with a replication of the original model in ours as well as other adaptation studies [4][5][6]17]. In the Italian version of the BIAQ [5], exploratory factor analysis resulted in a 13-item three-factor model for high school students and four-factor model for university students and patients with obesity.…”

The objective of the study was to validate a Polish version of the Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire (BIAQ). The study included 115 participants with no diagnosis (control group) (Mage = 20.53, SD = 1.80) on which we have based factor analyses, 48 participants diagnosed with anorexia nervosa (Mage = 18.69, SD = 3.52) and 39 participants diagnosed with bulimia nervosa (Mage = 22.28, SD = 3.80). In the current study, we have run confirmatory factor analysis; however, the analysis did not fit the data (CFI = 0.81, RMSEA = 0.09). Three-factor solution (number of factors were chosen basing on parallel analysis and MAP) was assessed using exploratory structural equation modeling approach (extraction: Maximum Likelihood; rotation: Geomin) which appeared to fit the data well (CFI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.07). Validation with the clinical sample was performed using multi-group ESEM. Since the models achieved only configural level of invariance, we have examined the structure of clinical group with next ESEM model (CFI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.05). To evaluate internal consistency, we have employed Omega (ω) and Cronbach's α with bootstrapped 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI). The first factor (food and weight preoccupation) was 0.79 (95 % CI = 0.74-0.83), for second factor (social activities) was 0.86 (95 % CI = 0.81-0.90), and for third factor (clothing) was 0.84 (95 % CI = 0.79-0.87). Convergent validity was assessed by correlating the Eating Disorder Inventory and the Body Attitude Test scores. The results have shown that the Polish version of the BIAQ fulfilled basic psychometric criteria and may be used for evaluation of body image avoidance behaviors among Polish women.

“…A dimensão afetiva foi mensurada por meio do Body Attitudes Questionnaire (BAQ) (Scagliusi et al, 2005) o qual, a partir de 44 questões em escala tipo Likert as respondentes são avaliadas em seis fatores, quatro atitudes negativas (sentir-se gorda, depreciação do corpo, importância do peso e da forma do corpo, depósito de gordura nos membros inferiores) e duas atitudes positivas (força e condicionamento físico e atratividade). Para mensuração da dimensão comportamental utilizamos o Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire (BIAQ) (Campana, Tavares, Silva, & Diogo, 2009) GEN (endomorfo) e GEC e GM (mesomorfo), para os escores médios do BSQ, BIAQ, "atitudes negativas", "sentir-se gorda" e "gordura nos membros inferiores" detalhadas abaixo e resumidas na Tabela 2:…”

ARTIGO ORIGINAL | ORIGINAL ARTICLE RESUMOO objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar se há associação estatística entre insatisfação corporal, comportamentos, afetos e crenças relacionados ao próprio corpo com o somatótipo de mulheres adultas jovens. Participaram 142 universitárias (21,81± 3,0 anos) submetidas à avaliação do Índice de Massa Corporal e do somatótipo. Para avaliação da imagem corporal foram aplicados os instrumentos: Body Shape Questionnaire, Body Attitudes Questionnaire, Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire, Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Scale. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise de variância multivariada (MANOVA oneway). Frente aos principais resultados, observou-se que a insatisfação corporal, a evitação corporal e atitudes negativas referentes à aparência, apresentam associação significante entre si e com os perfis somatotipológicos com predominância mesomórfica e endomórfica. Conclui-se que o perfil somatotipo pode ser um importante preditor de alterações na imagem corporal, podendo ser útil para rastrear grupos de risco Palavras-chave: Imagem corporal, Somatótipo, Dimensão atitudinal ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate associations among body dissatisfaction, behaviors, feelings, and beliefs related to the body -and somatotypical profile. The sample included 142 undergraduate female students (21.81 ± 3 years) who underwent to assessment of Body Mass Index and somatotype, according to the World Health Organization and Heath-Carter protocols, respectively. To assess body image the following instruments were applied: Body Shape Questionnaire, Body Attitudes Questionnaire, Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire, Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Scale, Self-Subject Silhouettes To the analysis data we proceeded to multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA one-way). As the main result, we find that body dissatisfaction, body avoidance and negative attitudes about appearance components are linked to each other and they are influenced by body profiles with mesomorphic and endomorphic predominance. We conclude that the somatotype profile can be an important predictor of changes in body image and is indicated for tracking risk groups.
