The validity of the Czech version of Body Appreciation Scale-2 for adolescents

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background Understanding the formation of body image is critical for the prevention and treatment of eating disorders, especially in adolescence, when body image develops signifcantly. One of the important facets of body image is body appreciation, which consists of positive feelings and attitudes towards the body regardless of its perceived “faws”. To measure body appreciation, Body Appreciation Scale-2 (Tylka and Wood-Barcalow in Body Image 12:53–67, 2015a), a unidimensional 10-item measure, has been developed and routinely used in body image research. The current study examined the validity (i.e., factor structure, gender and age invariance, associations with other constructs) of the Czech version of Body Appreciation Scale-2 for adolescents. Methods The study used two large samples of Czech adolescents, aged 13–18 (N1=613, M=15.5, 52% girls; N2=1,530, M=15.4, 50% girls). The data were collected in August 2021 (N1) and November 2020 (N2) through an online survey. For the data analysis, we used confrmatory factor analysis (CFA), multi-group confrmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA), and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results Our fndings supported the proposed unidimensional factor structure and the gender (i.e., girls, boys) and age (i.e., 13–15, 16–18) scalar invariance of the Czech version of Body Appreciation Scale-2. The data also showed the expected positive correlations with body satisfaction and self-esteem, and negative correlations with mediaideal internalization, appearance schematicity, and depression. Furthermore, we discovered that body appreciation was more strongly connected to media-ideal internalization and depression for girls than boys. Conclusions The present study provided robust evidence that supports the validity of the Czech version of Body Appreciation Scale-2 and its usability for the assessment of body appreciation in Czech adolescents. We also proposed future directions for the research on body appreciation based on the explored gender diferences.
