The present study examined whether a revision of the Gardner, Jappe, and Gardner (2009) BIAS-BD figural drawing scale gave more accurate estimations of body size estimation and body dissatisfaction than a prior version. It also examined whether the order of figure presentation led to differing values for body size estimation and body dissatisfaction. The revised BIAS-BD scale included a continuous line beneath 17 figural drawings ordered in either ascending or descending size. Results were compared with previous studies using the original scale in which the 17 figural drawings were presented in a random order and, additionally, with a method using an adjustable video image by which the participants estimated their perceived body size by adjusting the width of their static image. The scale was presented to 330 undergraduate university students, including 199 women and 131 men. Overall, compared to BMIs calculated from the participants' reports of their height and weight, men and women participants gave less accurate estimations of body size using the revised scale when compared to the original BIAS-BD scale and video methodology. Participants reported significantly less body dissatisfaction than with the original scale. There was no significant difference in body size estimation when the figures were presented in ascending or descending size. Body dissatisfaction was greater for women than men, and when the figures were presented in descending order. Methodological considerations for using figural drawing scales in body image research are discussed.
本研究旨在检验 Gardner、Jappe 和 Gardner（2009）BIAS-BD 体型图量表的修订版本是否比之前的版本更能准确估计体型和身体不满。它还检验了呈现图形的顺序是否会导致对体型和身体不满的不同评估值。修订后的 BIAS-BD 量表在 17 个体型图下方包含一条连续的线，这些图形按大小顺序排列，无论是递增还是递减。研究结果与之前使用原始量表的研究进行了比较，原始量表中的 17 个体型图以随机顺序呈现，此外，还与一种使用可调节视频图像的方法进行了比较，参与者通过调整静态图像的宽度来估计自己的感知体型。该量表被展示给 330 名本科大学生，其中包括 199 名女性和 131 名男性。总体而言，与参与者根据身高和体重报告计算的 BMI 相比，男性和女性参与者使用修订后的量表进行体型评估时的准确性不如原始 BIAS-BD 量表和视频方法高。与原始量表相比，参与者报告的身体不满程度显著降低。当图形按递增或递减顺序呈现时，体型评估没有显著差异。女性的身体不满程度高于男性，并且当图形按递减顺序呈现时。本文讨论了在身体意象研究中使用体型图量表的方法学考虑因素。
