Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Evaluating signs of anxiety related to body appearance is becoming increasingly important in contemporary society and, in this sense, the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS) seems an interesting alternative of measurement.
UNASSIGNED: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the SAAS when applied to Brazilian adults who practice physical exercise and verify the influence of individual characteristics on participants\' social appearance anxiety.
UNASSIGNED: This was a cross-sectional study conducted online. The participants completed the SAAS and a demographic questionnaire. The psychometric properties of the SAAS one-factor model were evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis. A structural model was built for men and women to verify the influence of individual characteristics of the participants on social appearance anxiety.
UNASSIGNED: 1,495 individuals participated in the study (70.8% women; mean age = 29.5, SD = 8.9 years). The data obtained with the SAAS presented good indicators of validity and reliability for both genders (CFI > 0.97, TLI > 0.97, SRMR = 0.04, α > 0.97, ω > 0.85). For both men and women, greater levels of social appearance anxiety were observed among younger participants, who had a higher body mass index, self-reported an eating disorder, and perceived a change in their body after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. For women specifically, higher income and having started physical exercise more recently were associated with greater levels of social appearance anxiety.
UNASSIGNED: The findings supported the validity and reliability of the data obtained with the SAAS and revealed that when investigating social appearance anxiety in future research and clinical protocols, specific individual characteristics should be considered.

摘要：
■评估与身体外观有关的焦虑迹象在当代社会变得越来越重要，在这个意义上,社会表象焦虑量表（SAAS）似乎是一种有趣的测量选择。
■评估葡萄牙语版SAAS应用于练习体育锻炼的巴西成年人的心理测量特性，并验证个体特征对参与者的社交外观焦虑的影响。
■这是一项在线进行的横断面研究。参与者完成了SAAS和人口统计问卷。使用验证性因子分析评估SAAS单因素模型的心理测量特性。建立了男性和女性的结构模型，以验证参与者的个体特征对社交外观焦虑的影响。
■1,495人参与了这项研究（70.8%为女性；平均年龄=29.5，SD=8.9岁）。使用SAAS获得的数据对男女均具有良好的有效性和可靠性指标（CFI>0.97，TLI>0.97，SRMR=0.04，α>0.97，ω>0.85）。对男人和女人来说,在年轻参与者中观察到更高水平的社交外观焦虑，体重指数较高的人，自我报告了一种饮食失调,并感觉到他们的身体在COVID-19大流行后发生了变化。特别是对于女性来说，更高的收入和最近开始体育锻炼与更高水平的社交外表焦虑相关。
■研究结果支持SAAS获得的数据的有效性和可靠性，并揭示了在未来研究和临床方案中调查社交外观焦虑时，应该考虑具体的个体特征。
