There is a need for brief, sensitive, and reliable instruments for contextual assessment of body dissatisfaction. Suitable selection and optimal use of psychological assessment instruments requires appropriate psychometric as well as normative data. Two studies were conducted to investigate the psychometric properties and collect general population norms for a short, eight item version of the body shape questionnaire (BSQ-8C). In the first study, a sample of undergraduate students (N=182) was recruited to investigate the psychometric properties of the BSQ-8C, while in the second study a sample from the general population of Swedish women aged 18-30 years (N=747) was used to collect norms. The test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and convergent validity for BSQ-8C were high. Given the questionnaire's briefness and good psychometric properties, particularly when used in conjunction with norms, the BSQ-8C is considered a valuable instrument for measuring body shape dissatisfaction among young adult women.
需要一种简短、敏感和可靠的工具来对身体不满进行情境评估。适当选择和最佳使用心理评估工具需要适当的心理计量学和常模数据。进行了两项研究，以调查身体形状问卷（BSQ-8C）的简短、八项版本的心理计量特性和收集一般人群常模。在第一项研究中，招募了一组本科生样本（N=182），以调查 BSQ-8C 的心理计量特性，而在第二项研究中，使用了瑞典 18-30 岁女性的一般人群样本（N=747）来收集常模。BSQ-8C 的重测信度、内部一致性和聚合效度均较高。鉴于问卷的简洁性和良好的心理计量特性，特别是与常模一起使用时，BSQ-8C 被认为是一种测量年轻成年女性身体形状不满的有价值的工具。
