I am currently researching the levels of body image satisfaction and levels of social phobia of underweight and overweight adolescents. I am having trouble finding the scales to measure these variables that best suit my study. Are there any scales you can recommend that I can use for my study?
Thank you.
Hello, António José Rodrigues Rebelo
I appreciate your answer to my question about the scales in Social Phobia and body image satisfaction. But is there a free manual for the Body Image Satisfaction Scale (BISS) that I can use? Or if there's no free manual, do you know the specific scoring range and interpretation for the Body Image Satisfaction Scale (BISS) by any chance?
Connor K.M., Jonathan R.T., et al. Psychometric properties of the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN): New self-rating scale. The British Journal of Psychiatry (2000) 176: 379-386 PMID 10827888
The EDEQ does have subscales on Eating concern, Shape concern and Weight concern.
For social phobia – RCADS as a general screen (and this has a social phobia subscale) – but there will also be specific social phobia measures ( apologies – but not something I’ve personally used so can’t really advise on the best ones).
And the CORC website (which you may of course already be aware of) – has links to different measures: Outcome & Experience Measures (corc.uk.net)
