Abstract
Background: Body self-image questionnaire-short form (BSIQ-SF) is developed to
measure body image perceptions. Due to the cultural, language and environmental differences
between western and eastern population, the validity and reliability need to be established. The
aim of this study was to determine validity and reliability of Malay version BSIQ-SF.
Methods: A cross-sectional study involved web-based survey was employed. Exploratory
factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed using SPSS version 22
and Mplus 7.3.
Results: There were 688 young adults in Malaysia with mean age of 23.67 (SD = 0.188)
and mean body mass index (BMI) of 23.34 (SD = 0.27) participated in the study. Exploratory factor
analysis performed and the number domains reduced from nine to four, namely ‘Negative Affect’,
‘Attractiveness Evaluation’, ‘Physical Functionality Awareness’ and ‘Height Dissatisfaction’. CFA
further confirmed the structure of the model with adequate goodness-of-fit values [CFI = 0.927,
TLI = 0.913, SRMR = 0.075, RMSEA = 0.053 (95% CI: 0.047, 0.060)].
Conclusion: The revised 21-item of the Malay version BSIQ-SF was a valid and reliable
instrument to measure body image perceptions among Malaysian young adults.
