The purpose of this study was to investigate the factor structure of the Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI) using a Japanese population as a web-based survey. Two thousand and sixty individuals (1030 women, 1030 men) ranging from 20 to 69 years of age (M=40, SD=16) took part in the present research. A confirmatory factor analysis showed that the second-order factor model of the BICI, which had three first-order factors and one second-order factor of dysmorphic appearance concern was an adequate fit to the data. Additionally, the Cronbach's alpha values of the overall and three subscales of the BICI were adequate. Furthermore, measurement invariance tests revealed that the second-order factor model of the BICI had acceptable measurement invariance at the scale and factor-loading levels between genders. These findings suggested that the BICI was reliable, and able to compare its mean scores between women and men in Japan.
本研究旨在以日本人群为对象，通过网络调查探究身体意象关注量表（BICI）的因子结构。2060名年龄在20至69岁之间（M = 40，SD = 16）的个体（1030名女性，1030名男性）参与了本研究。验证性因素分析表明，BICI的二阶因素模型，即具有三个一阶因素和一个关于畸形外观关注的二阶因素，与数据拟合良好。此外，BICI整体及三个子量表的克朗巴哈系数值也较为理想。此外，测量不变性检验显示，BICI的二阶因素模型在性别之间的量表和因子载荷水平上具有可接受的测量不变性。这些结果表明，BICI是可靠的，并且能够比较日本男性和女性之间的平均得分。
