Positive body image refers to individuals' ability to conceptualize their bodies with love, respect, and appreciation. The study of positive body image is relatively new, and instruments used to investigate this multi-faceted construct have received limited use in non-English speaking countries. Thus, the aim of this investigation is to consider four measures that are associated with positive body image across eight different countries. Participants (n = 6272) completed the Body Appreciation Scale-2, the Body Areas Satisfaction Scale, the Physical Appearance Comparison Scale, and the Weight Bias Internalization Scale. Multi-group confirmatory factor analyses (MG-CFAs) and item-response theory (IRT) models were used to examine the measurement invariance of these surveys. Our results generally suggest that positive body image, weight bias, and appearance comparison can be assessed using brief assessments and that these four instruments can be used in different countries, but care should be taken to consider individuals' gender, BMI, and socio-economic position.
积极的身体意象是指个体能够以爱、尊重和欣赏的态度来概念化自己的身体。积极身体意象的研究相对较新，用于研究这一多方面结构的工具在非英语国家的使用也很有限。因此，本研究的目的是考虑与来自八个不同国家的积极身体意象相关的四项措施。参与者（n=6272）完成了身体欣赏量表-2、身体部位满意度量表、身体外貌比较量表和体重偏见内化量表。多组验证性因素分析（MG-CFA）和项目反应理论（IRT）模型用于检验这些调查的测量不变性。我们的研究结果表明，使用简短的评估方法可以评估积极的身体意象、体重偏见和外貌比较，并且这四种工具可以在不同的国家使用，但需要注意考虑个体的性别、BMI 和社会经济地位。
