Figure Rating Scales (FRS) are psychometric instruments developed to measure individual's perception of physical appearance and subsequently, to determine the level of body dissatisfaction. The following systematic review summarizes existing FRSs and the techniques used to development them.
A systematic search was conducted in the following databases; PubMed®, Web of Science®, Scopus® using key words "figure rating scale" AND "Stunkard".
From 466 potentially relevant articles, 24 publications were included, 22 publications reporting original FRSs with the other two scales being modifications of the original for children and babies. Fifteen were figural drawings or silhouettes and nine were developed by photographic techniques, video methods or using computer software. Most of the figural scales were applicable for adults and consisted of nine images. Ten of the 15 figural scales were without facial features and four scales had minimal facial features. Technological advancements including 3D modeling have played a pivotal role in the development of FRSs.
FRSs have been developed by a mix of traditional and modern techniques. The development and validation of ethnic specific FRSs using modern technology should be the priority for future studies.
体型评定量表（FRS）是一种心理计量学工具，用于测量个体对身体外观的感知，进而确定其身体不满的程度。本系统评价总结了现有的 FRS 及其开发技术。
在 PubMed®、Web of Science®、Scopus®数据库中使用“figure rating scale”和“Stunkard”关键词进行系统检索。
从 466 篇潜在相关文章中，纳入 24 篇文献，其中 22 篇报道了原创 FRS，另外 2 篇是儿童和婴儿版的原始量表修改版。15 个是图形绘图或剪影，9 个是通过摄影技术、视频方法或使用计算机软件开发的。大多数体型量表适用于成年人，由 9 张图片组成。15 个图形量表中，有 10 个没有面部特征，4 个量表只有最小的面部特征。包括 3D 建模在内的技术进步在 FRS 的开发中发挥了关键作用。
FRS 是通过传统和现代技术相结合开发的。未来的研究应优先使用现代技术开发和验证具有民族特色的 FRS。
