Brazilian researchers have not been provided with instruments with which to investigate body image avoidance behaviors. The aim of this study was to translate and validate the Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire (BIAQ) for Brazil. The translation, synthesis, back-translation, Brazilian questionnaire formulation, and pretest were carried out in the first phase of the study. The study of the scale's psychometric properties was conducted in the second phase of the study. Brazilian BIAQ has 13 items and good adjustment indexes. There was a greater adherence to the sampling data in the model in which the avoidance of body image is maintained by control strategies, by the refusal of body exposure, and by strategies that accommodate tension. This work is expected to enable the comparison of international data and the performance of multicultural studies on body avoidance behavior, expanding research possibilities in Brazil and worldwide.
巴西研究人员尚未获得用于调查身体形象回避行为的工具。本研究的目的是对巴西版的身体形象回避问卷（BIAQ）进行翻译和验证。研究的第一阶段进行了翻译、综合、回译、巴西问卷编制和预测试。研究的第二阶段对该量表的心理测量特性进行了研究。巴西版BIAQ有13个项目且具有良好的调适指标。在通过控制策略、拒绝身体暴露以及缓解紧张的策略来维持身体形象回避的模型中，对抽样数据的拟合度更高。这项工作有望实现国际数据的比较以及关于身体回避行为的多元文化研究，从而拓展巴西乃至全球的研究可能性。
