“…Assim, na literatura, as abordagens sobre a imagem corporal não são homogéneas sendo que, por vezes, cada aspeto teórico é considerado isoladamente como parte da imagem corporal (Akdemir et al, 2012;Baranowksi et al, 2003;Kakeshita & Almeida, 2006;Najam & Ashfaq, 2012). Outras vezes, esses componentes são tratados, equivocadamente, como sinónimo de imagem corporal (Costa & Vasconcelos, 2010;Miranda, Filgueiras, Neves, Teixeira, & Ferreira, 2012).…”

“…Na literatura encontra-se disponível uma grande variedade de instrumentos que se propõem avaliar aspetos relacionados com a imagem corporal. A preocupação com a forma corporal é comumente investigada na literatura (Akdemir et al, 2012;Cooper, Taylor, Cooper, & Fairburn, 1987;Ghaderi & Scott, 2004) e o Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) é o instrumento mais utilizado para a sua avaliação.…”

ResumoObjetivo: Apresentar, por meio de revisão de literatura, uma abordagem teórica sobre o constructo "imagem corporal" destacando a vertente da "preocupação com a forma corporal" e as propriedades psicométricas da escala Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Método: Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico dos estudos publicados no período de 1987 a 2012 que estavam disponíveis na íntegra nas bases de dados Pubmed, Bireme e Scielo. A procura e seleção dos artigos foi realizada entre Janeiro e Março de 2013. Resultados: Inicialmente foram revistos 95 artigos, sendo que fizeram parte deste estudo 40 trabalhos e um livro. Alguns estudos avaliam a preocupação com a forma corporal dos indivíduos e posteriormente relatam que aferiram a preocupação com imagem corporal, entretanto, a preocupação com a forma corporal é apenas um aspeto inerente à imagem corporal. Observam-se diferenças expressivas entre os sexos quanto às preocupações com o corpo, e a escolha do instrumento deve considerar esse fato. Existem vários instrumentos para avaliar diferentes aspetos relacionados com a imagem corporal. O instrumento mais utilizado é o BSQ, que avalia a preocupação dos indivíduos com a forma corporal. As propriedades psicométricas do BSQ não são consensuais na literatura quando aplicado a amostras distintas. Sugere-se a necessidade de realização de mais estudos na tentativa de se obter uma estrutura fatorial mais estável do BSQ. Conclusão: Este estudo procurou alertar profissionais para a importância de se analisar o conceito teórico relacionado com os diferentes aspetos que compõem o constructo "imagem corporal", considerando a variável sexo e as propriedades psicométricas dos instrumentos de medida. Palavras-Chave: imagem corporal, perceção de forma, estudos de validação, questionários AbstractAim: Through literature review, to present a theoretical approach on the "body image" highlighting the "body shape concern" and the psychometric properties of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Method: Bibliographic survey of the studies published between 1987 and 2012 that were fully available in the Pubmed, Bireme and Scielo databases. The search and selection of the papers was made between January and March 2013. Results: Initially, 95 papers were reviewed, however, only 40 papers and one book were included in this study. Some studies evaluated individuals' body shape concern and subsequently reported that measured the body image concern, however, the body shape concern is just an aspect of body image. There are significant differences between genders regarding body concerns and these should be considered when choosing an instrument. There are several instruments to evaluate different aspects related to body image. The BSQ is the most used instrument to assess individuals' body shape concern. The psychometric properties of BSQ are not consensual in the literature when applied to different samples. The need of further studies is suggested in an attempt to get a more stable factorial structure of the BSQ. Conclusion: This study aimed to...

“…The BSQ has been used in multiple studies and has several versions adapted to populations/samples from different countries, including Colombia 24 , England 25 , France 26 , Turkey 27 , Mexico 28 , Spain 29,30 , Sweden 31 , Brazil 15 , and Portugal 13 . Different versions are now available in Portuguese, proposed independently by Brazilian 15,32 and Portuguese researchers 13 .…”

Psychometric evaluation of a unified Portuguese-language version of the Body Shape Questionnaire in female university students

The objectives of this study were to develop a unified Portuguese-language version, for use in Brazil and Portugal, of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and to estimate its validity, reliability, and internal consistency in Brazilian and Portuguese female university students. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed using both original (34-item) and shortened (8-item) versions. The model's fit was assessed with χ²/df, CFI, NFI, and RMSEA. Concurrent and convergent validity were assessed. Reliability was estimated through internal consistency and composite reliability (α). Transnational invariance of the BSQ was tested using multi-group analysis. The original 32-item model was refined to present a better fit and adequate validity and reliability. The shortened model was stable in both independent samples and in transnational samples (Brazil and Portugal). The use of this unified version is recommended for the assessment of body shape concerns in both Brazilian and Portuguese college students.
