目的：大量研究证实，身体形象影响心理社会功能的多个方面，但还没有直接的评估来量化它对个人生活质量的影响。方法：编制“大学生身体意象生活质量问卷”，对116名大学女生进行测评。结果和讨论：这项由19个项目组成的评估在2-3周的时间内内部一致和稳定，它与身体形象评估和投资以及身体质量的多种测量显着收敛。结果进一步显示，样本中的女性报告说，她们的身体形象对生活的各个领域产生的积极影响多于消极影响。威利期刊公司2002年审议了这些发现的含义和继续确认这一独特措施的方向。
Objective: Substantial research confirms that body image affects multiple aspects of psychosocial functioning, yet there is no direct assessment to quantify its impact on an individual's quality of life. Method: In the present study, the Body Image Quality of Life Inventory was developed and empirically evaluated with 116 college women. Results and Discussion: This 19-item assessment was internally consistent and stable over a 2- to 3 week period It converged significantly with multiple measures of body image evaluation and investment and with body mass. The results further revealed that women in the sample reported more positive than negative consequences of their body image for various domains of life. The implications of these findings and directions for continued validation of this unique measure are considered (C) 2002 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
