“…The validity of the main sections of the questionnaire was reviewed and verified by Brown, Cash and Mikulka (1990), and showed a reliability coefficient of 81% [35]. The Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire is a standard questionnaire used in various studies [36][37][38][39]. According to previous studies, this questionnaire is acceptable in Iranian samples according to psychological fitness [40][41][42][43][44].…”

Background: As children approach adolescence, they focus increasingly on their appearance and physical attraction due to teenage body-image. Teaching the concepts of adolescent health changes an individual's attitudes towards parts of the body. The health belief model (HBM) is one of the significant pedagogic models in health education. According to this model, the individual's decision and motivation for adopting healthy behaviors depends on three separate categories "personal perception, adaptive behaviors, and probability of performing that action or behavior". This study investigated the effect of teaching puberty health concepts on the basis of a HBM on perceived body image in female adolescents. Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was used in the study. This study was conducted with 60 sixth grade girls in state elementary schools in Yazd, Iran, that were selected with cluster sampling method and assigned randomly into experimental and control groups. The experimental group were educated in the school during eight 45-min sessions based on the HBM, whereas the control group were educated using the traditional lecturing method. The data were collected with demographic and self-body image questionnaires completed before and after intervention. The data were analyzed with SPSS16 using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The mean age of the participants was 12.16 ± 0.74 years. The findings showed that "perceived body image" and "students' self-attitude" improved significantly after intervention; yet, no significant difference was found between the subscales "attitudes towards weight" and "satisfaction with various parts of the body". Conclusion: The results of the study confirmed the efficacy and efficiency of teaching puberty health on the basis of the HBM on improving perceived body image in female adolescents.

“…In the Chilean context, a study conducted with 451 participants between 15 and 25 years old evaluated, through exploratory factor analysis, the properties of the MBSRQ in a Chilean adolescent population, presenting sufficient internal consistency [57]. These findings confirmed that the MBSRQ factors have sufficient internal consistency to be used in research with the adolescent population in Chile.…”

The aim of this study is to analyze the factorial structure of the Multidimensional Body–Self Relations Questionnaire—Appearance Scales (MBSRQ-AS) to determine the adjustment of the study structure proposed in the Spanish short version in a young, non-clinical Chilean population and to evaluate the possible influence of sex, age, and BMI on body image measurement. The sample consisted of 614 Chilean youth (259 male and 355 female) between 15 and 28 years old (M = 18.81; SE = 2.46), from the Metropolitan Region, and four regions of the coast and south-central zone of the country. The average Body Mass Index (BMI) was 22.5 kg/m2 (SD = 3.16). The model fit was evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis (WLSMV) using the following: a model with a single general factor, a model with the five factors of the original version, a five-factor ESEM model, and a MIMIC model analyzed including sex, age, and BMI. The results show that the MIMIC sex, age, and BMI model presents an acceptable fit, observing that four factors, Appearance Orientation (AO), Body Areas Satisfaction (BAS), Overweight Preoccupation (OP), and Self-Classification Weight (SCW), are affected significantly for the sex variable, one for age, Appearance Evaluation (AE), and four for BMI (AE, BAS, OP, and SCW). In conclusion, MBSRQ-AS replicates the five-dimensional structure in a non-clinical sample of young Chileans; however, their scores are not invariant as they depend on sex, age, and BMI.

“…Items from Ohanian's [30] scale for endorser credibility, along with items from Edell and Burke's [31] influence of endorsers scale, were adapted to determine if the manipulation was successful. To measure individual differences in the participants, items from Cruzat et al's [32] body satisfaction scale and Dweck's [28] implicit theories were employed. To measure the de-pendent variable, one item from Speed and Thompson's 2009 purchase intention scale was engaged.…”

“…The mockup endorsements for each influencer were followed by the succeeding measures (a) influencer familiarity; (b) intent to purchase [33]; (c) endorsers' perceived expertise, trustworthiness, and attractiveness [30]; and (d) feelings from the ad [31]. Following the evaluation of all three influencers, the participants completed a multidimensional body self-relations questionnaire [32] and an implicit theory of appearance scale [27]. Each of the scales were based on previous studies within the literature and were either presented on five-point Likert scales or semantic differential scales.…”

This paper examines how consumers’ body satisfaction, beliefs about the malleability of their appearance, and incidental comparisons with upward vs. lateral social media influencers interact to affect the type of consumption behaviors they engage in. Based on propositions of the compensatory consumption behavior (CCB) model and the social comparison theory, this study employs an online experiment with a 2 (social comparison: upward/lateral) × 2 (body satisfaction: low/high) × 2 (implicit theory: entity/incremental) × 2 (product type: head- and body-related) mixed-factorial design among a sample of 192 women (19–35 years). The appearance of the influencers was manipulated (upward: thinner, primped models; lateral: average weight, natural models), as were the products being advertised, whereas body satisfaction and consumers’ implicit theory were measured. The results indicated that consumers were more persuaded to purchase products from lateral compared to upward influencers. Further, lateral influencers were more persuasive for head-related (vs. body-related) products, whereas upward influencers were more successful in promoting body-related (vs. head-related) products. A significant (p < 0.05) interaction between body satisfaction, implicit theory of appearance, and product type also emerged, supporting the proposals of the CCB model on how consumption behaviors are affected by felt discrepancies. These findings indicate that marketers can access more effective marketing results by collaborating with influencers that have a similar appearance to that of their target audience.
