Understanding sociocultural factors (i.e., thin-ideal internalization and pressures for thinness) is a key step in managing disordered eating risk. Although sociocultural factors may vary across cultures and nations, studies on populations outside of Europe and North America are sparse, and psychometric data are often lacking. The purpose of this study was to validate a Farsi version of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4 (F-SATAQ-4) in Iranian college students. Participants (age 18-30) were recruited from Iranian universities, resulting in two separate convenience samples for Study 1 (n = 328 men, n = 342 women) and Study 2 (n = 336 men, n = 331 women). In Study 1, which followed back-translation procedure, exploratory factor analyses supported a 5-factor structure of the F-SATAQ-4 for men and women (i.e., thin-ideal internalization, athletic-ideal internalization, family pressure, media pressure, and peers pressure). In Study 2, confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the same structure for men and women. The F-SATAQ-4 subscales scores demonstrated excellent reliability, internal consistency, and weak convergent validity for men and women, as evidenced by significant Pearson's correlations with shape/weight concerns (EDE-Q), appearance evaluation (MBSRQ-AE), social comparison (PACS-R), perceived pressures for thinness (PSPS), BMI, as well as a partial discriminant validity with self-esteem (RSES) in women. Women scored higher on thin-ideal internalization, while men scored higher on athletic-ideal internalization. Participants with higher weights had higher scores on thin-ideal internalization and on family and peers pressures. The Farsi SATAQ-4 is a useful measure of internalization and pressures for thinness among Iranian college men and women.
了解社会文化因素（即，对理想体型的内化和追求苗条的压力）是管理饮食障碍风险的关键步骤。尽管社会文化因素可能因文化和国家而异，但针对欧洲和北美以外人群的研究很少，而且心理测量数据往往也缺乏。本研究的目的是验证伊朗大学生中社会文化态度量表-外貌问卷-4（F-SATAQ-4）的波斯语版本。参与者（年龄在 18-30 岁之间）是从伊朗大学招募的，因此研究 1（n=328 名男性，n=342 名女性）和研究 2（n=336 名男性，n=331 名女性）分别采用了两个便利样本。在研究 1 中，我们采用了回溯翻译程序，探索性因素分析支持了 F-SATAQ-4 的 5 因素结构，适用于男性和女性（即，对理想体型的内化、运动理想的内化、家庭压力、媒体压力和同伴压力）。在研究 2 中，验证性因素分析证实了男性和女性的相同结构。F-SATAQ-4 分量表得分对男性和女性均具有良好的可靠性、内部一致性和较弱的聚合效度，这表现在与体型/体重问题（EDE-Q）、外貌评价（MBSRQ-AE）、社会比较（PACS-R）、对苗条的感知压力（PSPS）、BMI 以及女性的自尊（RSES）呈显著的皮尔逊相关。女性在对理想体型的内化方面得分较高，而男性在运动理想的内化方面得分较高。体重较高的参与者在对理想体型的内化以及家庭和同伴压力方面的得分较高。Farsi SATAQ-4 是衡量伊朗大学生对理想体型的内化和对苗条的压力的有效工具。
