Validation study of the Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire in Korea

Abstract

The Korean version of Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire(SATAQ) was administered to 360 Korean female university students. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a 4 factor model is fit for data, but, scree plot and interpretability of factors supported a 2 factor model. Correlation between SATAQ and other measures of body dissatisfaction and eating disorder symptoms were significant. Mean score of the SATAQ was higher in the present weight-control group, the group with more experiences of weight-control and the high eating disorder symptom group than the no weight-control group, the group with less experiences of weight-control and the low eating disorder symptoms group, respectively. So, the SATAQ seems to be an adequate assessment tool for identification of risk factors and prognostic indicators of eating disorders.
