背景:功能欣赏量表是一个人对他或她的身体能做什么和有能力做什么的7项评价。虽然这种工具越来越多地用于基于干预的研究,其心理测量特性尚未在非英语人群中得到广泛研究。研究了FAS的新颖西班牙语翻译的心理测量学特性。
方法:838名西班牙成年人的在线样本(平均年龄=31.79±11.95岁,50.48%的男性)完成了西班牙FAS并验证了身体欣赏的措施,饮食失调症状学,直观的饮食,和生活满意度。
结果:探索性因子分析支持FAS的一维因子结构,这得到了验证性因素分析的进一步支持(SBχ²(14)=83.82,SBχ²归一化=1.48,稳健RMSEA=0.094(90%CI=0.074,0.115),SRMR=0.040,稳健CFI=0.946,稳健TLI=0.924)。显示了跨性别的不变性,性别差异无统计学意义(t(417)=0.77,p=.444,d=0.07)。通过与其他研究指标的显着关联,也支持了结构效度。在妇女中建立了递增有效性。因此,功能的评价预测生活满意度超过其他身体形象和饮食失调相关指标(F(4,399)=18.86,p<.001,ΔR2=0.03)。
结论:这些结果支持了西班牙FAS的心理测量特性,并证明了对功能的欣赏与更健康的身体形象和心理健康的重要性。
BACKGROUND: The Functionality Appreciation Scale is a 7-item measure of an individual\'s appreciation of his or her body for what it can do and is capable of doing. While this instrument has been increasingly used in intervention-based research, its psychometric properties have not been extensively studied in non-English-speaking populations. The psychometric properties of a novel Spanish translation of the FAS were examined.
METHODS: An online sample of 838 Spanish adults (mean age = 31.79 ± 11.95 years, 50.48% men) completed the Spanish FAS and validated measures of body appreciation, eating disorder symptomatology, intuitive eating, and life satisfaction.
RESULTS: Exploratory factor analysis supported a 1-dimensional factor structure of the FAS, which was further supported by confirmatory factor analysis (SBχ²(14) = 83.82, SBχ²normed = 1.48, robust RMSEA = 0.094 (90% CI = 0.074, 0.115), SRMR = 0.040, robust CFI = 0.946, robust TLI = 0.924). Invariance across genders was shown, and there were no significant differences according to gender (t(417) = 0.77, p =.444, d = 0.07). Construct validity was also supported through significant associations with the other measures of the study. Incremental validity was established in women. Thus, appreciation of functionality predicted life satisfaction over and above the variance accounted for by other body image and eating disorder-related measures (F(4, 399) = 18.86, p <.001, ΔR2 = 0.03).
CONCLUSIONS: These results support the psychometric properties of the Spanish FAS and demonstrate the importance of the appreciation of functionality in relation to a healthier body image and psychological wellbeing.
