“…These associations confirm the good convergent validity of the scale. These associations go in line with other studies validating drive for muscularity scale in other cultures (Arellano-Pérez et al, 2019;Gomes et al, 2019;Kling et al, 2019;Sepulveda et al, 2016;Stratton, Donovan, Bramwell, & Loxton, 2015;Swami et al, 2016).…”

“…The drive for muscularity is an individual's motivation to become more muscular (McCreary et al, 2004). Research has demonstrated that drive for muscularity is associated with the psychological distress, depressive symptoms (DeBlaere & Brewster, 2017;Eik-Nes, Austin, Blashill, Murray, & Calzo, 2018), internalized shame (Larison & Pritchard, 2019), neurotism (Benford & Swami, 2014), low self-esteem (Sepulveda, Parks, de Pellegrin, Anastasiadou, & Blanco, 2016;Swami, Barron, Lau, & Jaafar, 2016), internalization of the muscular ideals (Stratton, Donovan, Bramwell, & Loxton, 2015a), muscularity dissatisfaction (Chaba, d'Arripe-Longueville, Lentillon-Kaestner, & Scoffier-Mériaux, 2018;Liu, Chang, Gill, Wu, & Lu, 2019), difficulties in emotional regulation (Sepulveda et al, 2016), dieting and use of musclebuilding products (Eik-Nes et al, 2018), disordered eating (Arellano-Pérez, Vázquez-Cervantes, Fernández Cortés, & Saucedo-Molina, 2019;Bratland-Sanda & Sundgot-Borgen, 2012;Gomes et al, 2019;Lavender, Brown, & Murray, 2017;Liu et al, 2019), binge drinking (Eik-Nes et al, 2018) and greater hours participating in gyms (Keum, Wong, DeBlaere, & Brewster, 2015). The drive for muscularity scale (McCreary et al, 2004) is one of the main psychometrically sound measures for the exploration of the athletic/muscular -related body image (Kling et al, 2019).…”

“…This instrument was translated into various languages demonstrating good psychometric properties. The drive for muscularity scale was validated in the samples of Asian American (Keum et al, 2015), Scottish (McPherson, McCarthy, McCreary, & McMillan, 2010), Malay (Swami et al, 2016), Romanian (Swami, Vintila, Tudorel, Goian, & Barron, 2018), Argentinian (Compte, Sepúlveda, de Pellegrin, & Blanco, 2015), Mexican (Escoto et al, 2013), French (Chaba et al, 2018), Italian (Nerini, Matera, Baroni, & Stefanile, 2016), Spanish (Sepulveda et al, 2016) samples of men. The majority of studies demonstrated good psychometric properties of the instrument (Kling, Kwakkenbos, Diedrichs, Rumsey, Frisén, et al, 2019…”

Background. The drive for muscularity in men is associated with a negative body image, psychosocial, and physiological outcomes. The aim of the present study was to test the psychometric properties of the Lithuanian version of the Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS-LT) and associated characteristics in the sample of young adults (men).Methods. The sample consisted of 763 male students. The ages ranged from 18 to 32 years, with a mean age of 20.4 (SD = 3.1). Participants completed the Lithuanian translation of DMS-LT alongside with the measures of disordered eating, sociocultural attitudes towards appearance questionnaire, body mass index, self-esteem, and participation in sports.Results. The instrument showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = .92) and test-retest reliability (ICC = .87). The two-dimensional factor structure of the proposed original scale was not confirmed. DMS-LT was negatively correlated with self-esteem. Positive associations were observed between DMS-LT, muscular/athletic body ideal internalization, and disordered eating. Drive for muscularity attitudes and behaviors were more expressed in male students attending sports clubs.Conclusions. The results of the present study support the psychometric properties of the DMS-LT and its’ use in Lithuanian samples of young men. The instrument might also be used in clinical practice. It is important to develop prevention programs that decrease body image concerns and prevent disordered eating in young men. Keywords: drive for muscularity, body image, psychometric properties of the scale, students.

“…In the original 15-item version, the two subscales were called "Attitudes" and "Behaviors" [ 19 ]. The names were then changed to "Muscularity Attitudes and Behaviors" [ 25 ], "Muscle-oriented Body Image and Muscularity Behaviors" [ 26 ], and "Muscle-oriented Behaviors and Muscle-oriented Body Image Attitudes" [ 27 , 28 ]. The most frequently used names for these constructs have been "Muscle-oriented Body Image” (MBI) and Muscle-oriented Behaviors" (MB) [ 29 – 31 ].…”

Adaptation and validation of a short French version of the Drive for Muscularity Scale in male athletes (DMS-FR)

The purpose of this paper was to adapt and examine the psychometric properties of a French-language Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS). First, a preliminary version of the scale, based on both the English-language version of the DMS and the literature on the drive for muscularity, was developed following a committee validation process. Second, the factor structure of the DMS-FR was investigated with principal component analysis (PCA) in a sample of 114 male athletes (Mage = 23.35; SDage = 4.93), leading to a nine-item scale (Study 1). Third, in Study 2, the internal factor structure, temporal stability, and concurrent validity were examined through a series of structural hypothetical modelisation in a sample of 129 male athletes (Mage = 27.03; SDage = 7.81). The results indicated that the scale has good psychometric properties. Specifically, the PCA, and the series of structural hypothetical modelisation, suggested two theoretical factors (i.e., Muscularity Body Dissatisfaction and Muscularity Behaviors), and more, with a bi-factor model in a SEM. The results also indicated sufficient concurrent validity with the Male Body Dissatisfaction Scale (MBDS) and adequate internal consistency (Cronbach’s alphas were .87 for the Muscularity Body Dissatisfaction subscale, and .88 for the Muscularity Behaviors subscale). The findings overall suggest good reliability and construct validity for this French version of the DMS (DMS-FR), which will be useful for future research and clinical practice in French-speaking countries.

“…Aynı zamanda kaslı olma dürtüsünün psikolojik sağlık üzerindeki olumsuz etkisi, bu dürtünün depresyon, duygu düzenlemede güçlükler ve düşük seviyedeki özgüven ile ilişkisini gösteren bulgular tarafından desteklenmiştir (örn., McCreary ve Sasse, 2000; Sepulveda, Parks, de Pellegrin, Anastasiadou ve Blanco, 2016; van Amsterdam ve ark., 2010). Ayrıca kas oranı ile patolojik derecede ilgilenme, çoğu kişiden daha kaslı olunsa dahi kas gelişimini daha da arttırmak için çok yoğun çaba sarf etme ve fiziksel sağlığı riske atacak davranışlar (örn., steroid kullanımı, yoğun antrenman programı) sergileme gibi belirtileri olan kas algı bozukluğunun, bu dürtü ile olan ilişkisi de gösterilmiştir (Robert, Munroe-Chandler ve Gammage, 2009 (Nerini, Matera, Baroni ve Stefanile, 2016), İspanya (Sepulveda ve ark., 2016), Fransa (Chaba, d'Arripe-Longueville, Lentillon-Kaestner ve Scoffier-Meriaux, 2018), Meksika (Escoto ve ark., 2013), Malezya (Swami, Barron, Lau ve Jaafar, 2016), İran (Shahhosseni, Afshari ve Ghasemabadi, 2018) ve Romanya (Swami, Vintila, Tudorel, Goian ve Barron, 2018) örneklemlerine adapte edilmesi, kaslı olma dürtüsünün birçok kültürdeki rolünün anlaşılmasına olanak sağlamıştır. Dünya çapında yaygın olarak kullanılan bir ölçek olmasına rağmen, mevcut çalışmaya kadar, bilgimiz dahilinde, Türkçe'ye uyarlama konusunda herhangi bir girişimde bulunulmamıştır.…”

Anahtar kelimeler Erkeklerde kaslı olma arzusu, beden imajı, kaslı olma dürtüsü ölçeği, uyarlama, geçerlik ve güvenirlik Keywords Drive for muscularity in men, body image, drive for muscularity scale, adaptation, reliability and validity Öz Bu çalışma kapsamında, kaslı olmaya yönelik tutum ve davranışları ölçmede ve değerlendirmede yaygın olarak kullanılan Kaslı Olma Dürtüsü Ölçeği'nin (Drive for Muscularity Scale) Türkçe'ye uyarlanması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 297 erkek katılımcıdan toplanan veriler açımlayıcı faktör analizi yöntemi ile incelenmiş ve Kaslı Olma Dürtüsü Ölçeği'nin üç faktörlü yapısının Türkiye'deki erkek örneklemi için uygun olduğu bulunmuştur, KMO = .87; Bartlett Testi χ 2 (105) = 2512. 12, p < .001. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları da bu üç faktörlü yapının uygunluğunu desteklemiştir, χ 2 (84) = 246.2, p < .001, χ 2 / sd = 2.93, CFI = .93, RMSEA = .08. Ayrıca, geçerlik (birleşen ve ayırt edici geçerlik) ve güvenirlik analizleri bağlamında ele alınan diğer psikometrik özellikler de, söz konusu uyarlamanın erkeklerdeki kaslı olmaya yönelik tutum ve davranışları ölçmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu ölçeğin Türkçe'ye kazandırılması ile mevcut çalışmanın, Türkiye'deki erkeklerin beden imajlarına ilişkin meşguliyetlerinin derinlemesine anlaşılmasında önemli bilimsel katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
