对身体形状的异常关注与饮食病理学的发展和维持有关。本文报告了体形注意力量表 (ABS) 的三项初步信度和效度研究。尽管时间很短，但发现女性和男性的 ABS 在 2 周内内部一致且相对稳定。正如预期的那样，女性比男性更关注 ABS 的身体。针对大学女性的初步验证研究取得了令人鼓舞的结果。作为收敛效度的证据，ABS 与饮食病理学和饮食限制的测量相关。此外，虽然 ABS 与一般外观取向的测量相关，但回归分析表明，前者比后者与饮食病理学的联系更紧密。作为区分有效性的证据，ABS 未能与烦躁、体重或因情绪或环境压力而进食的倾向相关。正如理论预测的那样，ABS 的高分与身体图像失真有关。然而，与预测相反，ABS 在三项措施中的两项未能减轻诱发焦虑对身体形象的影响。讨论了这些发现的影响以及对未来工作的建议。
An abnormal degree of attention to one's body shape has been implicated in the development and maintenance of eating pathology. This article reports on three preliminary reliability and validity studies of the Attention to Body Shape Scale (ABS). Although brief, the ABS was found to be internally consistent and relatively stable over 2 weeks for both women and men. As expected, women were more body-focused on the ABS than were men. Preliminary validation studies on college women had encouraging results. Lending evidence of convergent validity, the ABS correlated with measures of eating pathology and dietary restraint. Moreover, although the ABS correlated with a measure of general-appearance orientation, regression analyses showed that the former was more closely linked than the latter to eating pathology. As evidence of discriminant validity, the ABS failed to correlate with dysphoria, body weight, or the tendency to eat in response to emotional or environmental pressures. As predicted by theory, high scores on the ABS were associated with body-image distortion. However, contrary to predictions, the ABS failed to moderate the impact of induced anxiety on body image on two of three measures. The implications of these findings and suggestions for future work are discussed.
