本研究调查了75例心因性体重过轻和有完全或部分神经性厌食症（AN）病史的患者的14项身体形状问卷（BSQ）的“结构效度”（包括测试符合先前观察预测的程度）。各种预测都得到了证实，即BSQ（旨在衡量对身体形象的关注）的评分与饮食态度测试、暴食调查测试和贝克抑郁量表的评分以及转诊时的体重指数显著相关。此外，AN的暴食/净化亚型与身体形象精神病理学的增加有关。与之前使用另一份问卷的报告相反，这种关联与体重无关。研究结果表明，这种较短版本的BSQ可用于评估心因性低体重患者的身体形象精神病理学，并证实暴饮暴食/排便型an患者对身体形象的关注有所增加。(C) 2001爱思唯尔科学爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
This study investigated the 'construct validity' (which includes the extent to which a test conforms to predictions from previous observations) of a 14-item version of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) in 75 patients with psychogenic low weight and a history of full or partial anorexia nervosa (AN). Various predictions were confirmed, i.e. ratings on the BSQ (designed to measure concern about body image) were significantly correlated with ratings for the Eating Attitudes Test, the Bulimia Investigatory Test and the Beck Depression Inventory, and with the body mass index at referral. Also, the binge eating/purging subtype of AN was associated with increased body-image psychopathology. In contrast to a previous report using another questionnaire, this association was independent of body weight. The findings indicate that this shorter version of the BSQ can be used to assess body image psychopathology in patients with psychogenic low weight and to confirm an increased concern about body-image in the binge-eating/purging subtype of AN.
