A study of 79 female college students examined the reliability and validity of two new size/weight-related measures of body image. The Body-size Appraisal Scale and the Overweight Preoccupation Scale were derived from existing instruments. Analyses supported the internal consistency and 2-wk. test-retest reliability of both new scales. Correlations of scores on each scale with measures of anxiety about being fat, negative body-image affect and avoidance, restrained and bulimic eating, and depression support their concurrent and construct validity. Scores on the Overweight Preoccupation Scale were also related to the extent of investment in physical appearance. Regression analyses indicated that each new scale could be predicted from several other conceptually relevant body-image attitudes, even after actual body weight was controlled.
一项针对79名女大学生的研究，检验了两种与体型/体重相关的新身体意象测量方法的信度和效度。体型评估量表和超重关注量表是从现有工具衍生而来的。分析结果支持了这两种新量表的内部一致性以及两周的重测信度。各量表得分与对肥胖的焦虑、负面身体意象影响及回避、克制性和暴食性饮食以及抑郁等测量指标之间的相关性，支持了它们的同时效度和结构效度。超重关注量表的得分也与对外表的投入程度有关。回归分析表明，即使在控制了实际体重之后，每个新量表都可以从其他几个概念上相关的身体意象态度中预测出来。
