en روانسنجي Psychometric پژوهشي Original Research Article <p><strong>Objective</strong>: Body image is a complex and multifaceted construct encompassing at least perceptual, affective, cognitive, and possibly behavioral aspects of body experience. In the current Iranian society, increasingly the major focus is on the body&rsquo;s appearance, in particular on body shape and weight. Current societal standards for female beauty excessively emphasize the desirability of thinness; an ideal accepted by most females, but impossible for most of them to achieve. These body image concerns can be measured using Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ-AS). The present study aimed at testing the factorial structure and determining the psychometric properties of the MBSRQ in female Iranian university students.<br> <strong>Methods</strong>: The MBSRQ-AS was administered to 496 participants aged 16 to 39 selected using multistage cluster sampling method among the female students of Tehran University from 70 fields of study.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Results</strong>: Exploratory factor analysis was used to determine the construct validity of the questionnaire. Principal component analysis using Varimax rotations resulted in a five-factor structure (KMO=0.56, Chi-square=5419.80, df=561) including: appearance orientation, appearance evaluation, overweight preoccupation, self-classified weight and body areas satisfaction. confirmatory factor analysis showed that the extracted model had a good fit to the data (RMSEA =0.064, NFI =0.88, CFI =0.91). Reliability analysis of total score of MBSRQ-AS and its subscales suggested good internal consistency (Cronbach&rsquo;s alpha coefficient for total scale=0.83).<br> <strong>Conclusion</strong>: In conclusion, the results of the current study provided strong evidence for reliability and validity of MBSRQ-AS as a multidimensional tool to measure body image among Iranian students.</p> Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire, Psychometric Properties, Reliability, Validity 187 196 http://jpcp.uswr.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-466-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Yousef Khodabandeloo y.khodabande@gmail.com Yes Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Alameh Tabataba’i University, Tehran, Iran.
