Title: | Body image as a target of victimization by peers/parents: Development and validation of the Body Image Victimization Experiences Scale | Authors: | Duarte, Cristiana Pinto-Gouveia, José |
Keywords: | Body image; body image victimization; confirmatory factor analysis; eating psychopathology; psychometric properties | Issue Date: | 2016 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Women & Health | Volume: | 57 | Issue: | 9 | Abstract: | This study developed and established the psychometric properties of the Body Image Victimization Experiences Scale (BIVES). The BIVES retrospectively assesses the frequency (Part A-frequency) and effect (Part B-impact) of victimization experiences pertaining to body image, perpetrated by peers and parents/caregivers in childhood and adolescence. Distinct samples of Portuguese women were recruited in 2013-2014: two nonclinical samples of the general population (n = 1,177), aged 18-60 years, and a clinical sample of patients with Binge Eating Disorder (BED; n = 73), aged 19-59 years. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted in 632 participants. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the scale's psychometric properties were tested in 545 participants. The ability of the BIVES to discriminate the clinical from a nonclinical sample was examined. The scale presented two factors indicating the sources of the victimization-peers and parents. CFA results confirmed the scale's structure. The BIVES presented very good internal consistency, construct and discriminant validity, good test-retest reliability, and was associated with related constructs, body image shame, and eating psychopathology. The scale adequately discriminated between the clinical sample and a nonclinical sample. The BIVES is a valid and reliable measure that allows for a comprehensive assessment of body image-related victimization experiences. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/47423 | DOI: | 10.1080/03630242.2016.1243603 | Rights: | openAccess |
