Validation of a Spanish version of the Muscle Appearance Satisfaction Scale: Escala de Satisfacción Muscular

Differentiating the levels of risk for muscle dysmorphia among Hungarian male weightlifters: A factor mixture modeling approach

“…The validation and the examination of the psychometric properties of the Hungarian version of the MASS (Babusa & Túry, 2011) supported the use of the measure in male weightlifter population (Babusa, Urbán, Czeglédi, & Túry, 2012). Recently it has also been validated in British and Irish populations (Ryan & Morrison, 2010) and later in Spain (Gonzalez-Marti, Bustos, Jordan, & Mayville, 2012). In spite of the wide use of the MASS, the lack of a reliable cutoff score that could discriminate between MD and non-MD cases is a current weakness of the measure.…”

University courses, eating problems and muscle dysmorphia: are there any associations?

“…Muscle dysmorphia was first described in 1993 by Pope and coll. [ 13 ] as an obsessive-compulsive disorder, characterized by the obsession of body appearance, the fear of not being sufficiently muscled, and the compulsion to excessive physical exercise [ 14 ]. Such individuals show changes in feeding behavior, such as radical diets and dietary supplements, abuse of anabolic substances, and impairment or distress in social and physical domains [ 15 ], and in social and occupational functioning [ 16 , 17 ].…”

“…According to the DSM-5, the specification “with muscle dysmorphia” has been added to body dysmorphic disorder, suggesting that this is an important distinction to be done as regards this disorder. Muscle dysmorphia is more frequently diagnosed in male young adults [ 14 , 18 ], and bodybuilders represent a high-risk group [ 19 ]. The prevalence of muscle dysmorphia in the general population is still unknown since only few small studies are available [ 20 ].…”

Validación de la Escala de Adicción al Entrenamiento (EAE) en atletas veteranos

“…En la actualidad, para evaluar los problemas con la adicción al ejercicio se dispone de pruebas generales como son The Obligatory Exercise Questionnaire (OEQ) de Pasman y Thompson (1988) Por su parte, centrando la atención en pruebas especí-ficas y en concreto para la adicción a correr se dejan indi-Francisco Ruiz-Juan, Antonio Zarauz Sancho y Félix Arbinaga Ibarzábal cados los principales instrumentos desarrollados: Running Addiction Scale (RAS) (Chapman y De Castro, 1990) adaptada al castellano por Zarauz y Ruiz-Juan (2011) y la Commitment to Running Scale (CR) (Carmack y Martens, 1979) también adaptada al castellano por Ruiz-Juan y Zarauz (2011) y para evaluar la dependencia en el fisicoculturismo se dispone de la Bodybuilding Dependency Scale (BDS) (Smith, Hale y Collins, 1998). Por último, en pruebas no específicas para la evaluación de la dependencia existen algunas subescalas entre las que señalamos el Muscle Dysmorphia Inventory (MDI) (Rhea y Lantz, 2001) y la Muscle Appearance Satisfaction Scale (MASS) (Mayville, Williamson, White, Netemeyer y Drab, 2002) adaptada al castellano por González-Martí, Fernán-dez, Contreras y Mayville (2012).…”
