“…Kakeshita, Silva, Zanatta, and Almeida (2009) developed the Brazilian Silhouette Scale for Adults (BSSA) specifically for boys and men; Adami et al (2012) elaborated and validated the figure rating scale for Brazilian adolescents (boys and girls); and A. P. A. Castro, Damasceno, Miranda, Perrout, and Vianna (2011) designed a tool for male bodybuilders. However, past researchers have described weaknesses with these instruments, including (a) unrealistic images of the human body, (b) unrealistic values of body height and weight for target populations, (c) poorly validated psychometric qualities, (d) a predominant reliance on frontal views of the body (Cohen et al, 2015;Fan, Liu, Wu, & Dai, 2004;Harris, Bradlyn, Coffman, Gunel, & Cottrell, 2008;Letosa-Porta, Ferrer-Garcı´a, & Gutie´rrez-Maldonado, 2005;Tove´e & Cornelissen, 2001), and (e) a lack of silhouettes able to assess both perceptions and attitudes simultaneously (Gardner & Brown, 2010a).…”
