Psychometric Properties of the Icelandic Translation of the Body Appreciation Scale-2
The Body Appreciation Scale-2 is a measure of positive body image, which is a growing field of study in modern society. In this study, the psychometric properties of the Icelandic version of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 were examined in a sample of 905 people. Exploratory factor analysis of the BAS...

The Body Appreciation Scale-2 is a measure of positive body image, which is a growing field of study in modern society. In this study, the psychometric properties of the Icelandic version of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 were examined in a sample of 905 people. Exploratory factor analysis of the BAS-2 revealed a one factor structure and factor loadings similar to previous research. Predictive and construct validity were tested via correlations between the BAS-2 and six other related measures. Internal consistency of the Icelandic version BAS-2 was good, α = 0.95. As hypothesized the BAS-2 was negatively correlated with internalization of appearance ideals and physical appearance comparison and positively correlated with appearance evaluation, self-esteem, well-being and body-food choice congruence.
