The 13-item Body Acceptance by Others Scale-2 (BAOS-2) measures generalised perceptions of body acceptance by others. Here, we examined the psychometric properties of a novel Polish translation of the BAOS-2. A sample of 1183 adults (898 women, 285 men; age M = 28.98) from Poland completed a Polish version of the BAOS-2, alongside measures of body appreciation, pressure to conform to appearance ideals, self-compassion, self-esteem, and impression management. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis identified a stable unidimensional model of the Polish BAOS-2, with all 13 items retained. Additionally, the Polish BAOS-2 evidenced complete invariance (i.e., through to latent mean invariance) across gender identity. Scores on the BAOS-2 evidenced adequate composite reliability and, in a retest subsample (n = 260), showed complete invariance across four weeks. Evidence of convergent, criterion-related, discriminant, and incremental validity was very strong when based on observed BAOS-2 scores, but weaker when based on latent BAOS-2 scores. Whether examined at the observed or latent level, greater body acceptance by others was consistently and strongly associated with higher body appreciation. These results suggest that the psychometric properties of the Polish BAOS-2 are robust and that this instrument can be confidently utilised in future research with Polish adults.
由他人进行的13项身体接纳量表第二版（BAOS - 2）测量他人对身体接纳的总体认知。在此，我们检验了BAOS - 2波兰语新译本的心理测量特性。来自波兰的1183名成年人样本（898名女性，285名男性；年龄M = 28.98岁）完成了波兰语版的BAOS - 2，同时还进行了身体欣赏、符合外表理想的压力、自我同情、自尊和印象管理等方面的测量。探索性和验证性因素分析确定了波兰语BAOS - 2的一个稳定的单维模型，保留了所有13个项目。此外，波兰语BAOS - 2在性别认同方面表现出完全不变性（即直至潜在均值不变性）。BAOS - 2的得分显示出足够的组合信度，并且在一个重测子样本（n = 260）中，四周内表现出完全不变性。基于观察到的BAOS - 2得分时，收敛效度、标准关联效度、区分效度和增量效度的证据非常强，但基于潜在的BAOS - 2得分时则较弱。无论在观察层面还是潜在层面进行检验，他人对身体的更高接纳程度始终与更高的身体欣赏程度密切相关。这些结果表明，波兰语BAOS - 2的心理测量特性很强，该工具可放心用于未来对波兰成年人的研究。
