目的：外观图式清单（ASI）是一个14项的工具，评估身体形象投资与某些信念或假设的重要性，意义和影响的外观在一个人的生活。尽管ASI的实证支持，严格的检查表明这种评估的几个局限性。这些问题包括明确的自我评价项目和社会陈规定型观念，很少的行为项目，并一再未能找到预期的性别差异的ASI。方法：我们最初构建了一个45项测量（40个新项目加上5个原始项目），并管理它，沿着原始ASI和其他验证性评估，603名大学生（468名女性和135名男性）。结果如下：最终的结果是一个20个项目的修订版的清单（ASI-R），其中包括两个因素：自我评价的显着性和动机的显着性。对于两个性别，复合ASI-R及其两个因素具有较高的内部一致性，并显着收敛与其他相关措施的身体形象和心理社会功能。ASI-R及其两个分量表显示出显著的性别差异，而原始ASI没有。我们还研究了ASI-R的种族差异，其与体重的相关性，以及其对饮食态度预测的独特贡献。讨论：我们提供这种措施作为一种改进的，心理测量的声音替代ASI。(C)出版社：Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
Objective: The Appearance Schemas Inventory (ASI) is a 14-item instrument that assesses body image investment in relation to certain beliefs or assumptions about the importance, meaning, and influence of appearance in one's life. Despite empirical support of the ASI, critical examination evinces several limitations of this assessment. These problems entail the inclusion of explicitly self-evaluative items and social stereotypes, few behavioral items, and a repeated failure to find expected gender differences on the ASI. Method: We initially constructed a 45-item measure (40 new items plus 5 original items) and administered it, along with the original ASI and other validational assessments, to 603 college students (468 women and 135 men). Results: The end result was a 20-item revision of the inventory (ASI-R), which included two factors: Self-Evaluative Salience and Motivational Salience. For both genders, the composite ASI-R and its two factors had high internal consistency and were significantly convergent with other pertinent measures of body image and psychosocial functioning. The ASI-R and its two subscales showed significant gender differences, whereas the original ASI did not. We also examined racial differences on the ASI-R, its correlations with body mass, and its unique contribution to the prediction of disturbed eating attitudes. Discussion: We offer this measure as an improved, psychometrically sound replacement for the ASI. (C) 2004 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
