We examined the psychometric properties of a Romanian translation of the 10-item Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2). A total of 453 university students from Romania completed the BAS-2, along with measures of disordered eating, self-esteem, satisfaction with life, and subjective happiness. In addition, a separate sample of university students (N=109) completed only the BAS-2 at two time-points three weeks apart. Principal-axis factor analysis indicated that BAS-2 scores had a one-dimensional factor structure in both women and men. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that this factor structure had adequate fit, but invariance across sex was not supported. Further analyses indicated that BAS-2 scores evidenced internal consistency, convergent validity, and test-retest reliability in both women and men. These results suggest that BAS-2 scores reduce to one dimension in Romanian adults, but the lack of sex invariance may indicate that the same latent construct is not being measured in women and men.
我们考察了罗马尼亚语版 10 项身体欣赏量表-2（BAS-2）的心理计量学特性。共有 453 名罗马尼亚大学生完成了 BAS-2 以及饮食失调、自尊、生活满意度和主观幸福感的测量。此外，另一组大学生（N=109）在三周的时间间隔内仅两次完成 BAS-2。主轴因子分析表明，BAS-2 得分在女性和男性中均具有一维因子结构。验证性因子分析表明，这种因子结构具有足够的拟合度，但不支持性别不变性。进一步的分析表明，BAS-2 得分在女性和男性中均具有内部一致性、收敛效度和重测信度。这些结果表明，BAS-2 得分在罗马尼亚成年人中可简化为一个维度，但缺乏性别不变性可能表明在女性和男性中测量的不是相同的潜在结构。
