Limited studies have evaluated the psychometric properties of the Muscle Appearance Satisfaction Scale (MASS), a measure of muscle dysmorphia, in different cultures and languages. The aims were to examine the psychometric properties of the Hungarian version of the MASS (MASS-HU), and to investigate its relationship with self-esteem and exercise-related variables. Two independent samples of male weight lifters (ns=289 and 43), and a sample of undergraduates (n=240) completed the MASS, Eating Disorder Inventory, and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale. Exploratory factor analysis supported the original five-factor structure of the MASS only in the weight lifter sample. The MASS-HU had excellent scale score reliability and good test-retest reliability. The construct validity of the MASS-HU was tested with multivariate regression analyses which indicated an inverse relationship between self-esteem and muscle dysmorphia. The 18-item MASS-HU was found to be a useful measure for the assessment of muscle dysmorphia among male weight lifters.
有限的研究评估了肌肉外观满意度量表（MASS）的心理测量特性，该量表用于衡量肌肉变形障碍，在不同的文化和语言中。目的是检验 MASS 匈牙利语版本（MASS-HU）的心理测量特性，并探讨其与自尊和与运动相关的变量的关系。两个独立的举重运动员样本（n=289 和 43）和一个大学生样本（n=240）完成了 MASS、饮食障碍清单和罗森伯格自尊量表。探索性因素分析仅在举重运动员样本中支持 MASS 的原始五因素结构。MASS-HU 具有出色的量表评分可靠性和良好的重测信度。使用多元回归分析测试了 MASS-HU 的结构效度，结果表明自尊与肌肉变形障碍呈负相关。18 项 MASS-HU 被发现是一种有用的测量工具，可用于评估男性举重运动员的肌肉变形障碍。
