Not uni-dimension! Exploring the multi-dimensional concept of positive body image in the Chinese context by Hanqin Yan

“…With a positive psychology perspective, and based on the holistic positive body image theory, this study explored the multi-dimensional concept of positive body image in the Chinese context, integrated its three measures, examined the overall level of positive body image among Chinese college students, and tested the gender measurement invariance, as well as explored the latent categories of positive body image in the college student population.MethodsA convenience sampling method was used to survey 670 college students in China, using the Chinese version of Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2), Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS), Body Image Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-5 (BI-AAQ-5), and the Positive Body Talk Scale (PBTS). …”
