Development and validation of body rating scales for adolescent females
Article Abstract:
Two forms of body rating scales (BRSs), the BRS17 and BRS11, are useful for efficient body image analysis among female adolescents. The BRSs are psychometrically related to the Figure Rating Scale and provide face validity in studies involving children and adolescents. The results of application of the BRSs on subjects of 11 and 17 years and their mothers are given. The validity of the methods in very young children is yet to be established.
