This study aimed to investigate the factor structure and psychometric properties of a Polish version of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2; Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015). Data were collected from 721 individuals residing in various regions of Poland. There were two subsamples (n=336, age M=34.95, SD=10.83; and n=385, age M=35.38, SD=10.83). Both principal-axis and confirmatory factor analyses supported the one-dimensional structure of BAS-2 scores. Moreover, full scalar invariance of the BAS-2 in Poland across sex was demonstrated. Scores on the Polish BAS-2 had adequate internal consistency. Convergent validity was demonstrated through significant correlations between BAS-2 scores and variables related to body image (body and appearance self-conscious emotions), well-being (self-esteem, positive affect, and positive orientation), and body mass index. These results indicate that the Polish BAS-2 is an appropriate and psychometrically-sound measure of body appreciation.
本研究旨在探讨波兰版身体欣赏量表-2（BAS-2；Tylka 和 Wood-Barcalow，2015）的因素结构和心理测量特性。数据来自居住在波兰各地的 721 个人。有两个子样本（n=336，年龄 M=34.95，SD=10.83；n=385，年龄 M=35.38，SD=10.83）。主轴分析和验证性因素分析均支持 BAS-2 评分的一维结构。此外，还证明了 BAS-2 在波兰的性别完全标度不变性。波兰 BAS-2 的得分具有足够的内部一致性。通过 BAS-2 得分与与身体形象（身体和外表自我意识情绪）、幸福感（自尊、积极情绪和积极取向）和身体质量指数相关的变量之间的显著相关性，证明了其聚合效度。这些结果表明，波兰版 BAS-2 是身体欣赏的一种适当和具有心理测量学意义的测量工具。
