Abstract

To develop a Korean version of Objectified Body Consciousness Scales(McKinley and Hyde, 1996) which can be adapted to Korean college students regardless of gender, two studies were performed. Total number of respondents were 431(125 female college students in study 1 and 158 female and 148 male students in study 2). The 3 factor structure of the Korean version(K-OBCS) - surveillance, shame, and control belief - was the same as the original version. But, further confirmatory fator analysis results showed that 2 factor structure of surveillance and shame was better than the 3 factor structure in which control belief was included. The level of reliability coefficients of Surveillance scale and Shame scale were acceptable, and those two scales showed negative correlations with body-esteem, self-esteem, and subjective well-being. They had significant predictive power to the intentions of body-related consumptions such as diet, cosmetic surgery, and exercise as well. But, Control-Belief scale failed to show acceptable levels of reliabilities, discriminant-convergent validity, and criterion-related validity. Authors suggested that the Surveillance and Body Shame sub-scales in K-OBCS had enough psychometric qualities. Regarding the Control Belief scale, authors interpreted the concept as a kind of self-efficacy and suggested that the scale could be a useful tool for body image studies if the psychometric properties of the scale could be improved. The implications of the results were discussed in terms of gender differences in objectified body consciousness.
