Title
The Adolescent Body Image Satisfaction Scale (ABISS) for Males: Exploratory Factor Analysis and Implications for Strength and Conditioning Professionals
Authors
The purpose of this study was to determine if there is evidence of reliability and validity for the Adolescent Body Image Satisfaction Scale (ABISS); an instrument previously developed (26) to measure adolescent body image. A sample (N = 330) of adolescent males, ages 14 to 19, completed the ABISS to determine current body image satisfaction. Data were analyzed for measures of instrument. The Body Parts Satisfaction Scale created for the Psychology Today study consisted of 24 items. This scale assessed 'affective body dissatisfaction', or the feelings people have about their bodies (e.g., Thompson, 1995). This scale, or subsets of items from this scale, have been used by scholars conducting research on.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if there is evidence of reliability and validity for the Adolescent Body Image Satisfaction Scale (ABISS); an instrument previously developed (26) to measure adolescent body image. A sample (N = 330) of adolescent males, ages 14 to 19, completed the ABISS to determine current body image satisfaction. Data were analyzed for measures of instrument composite reliability and initial content and construct validity. Exploratory factor analysis supported a three-factor solution (16 total items), which explained 42.7% of variance in the model. Composite reliability for the subscales, Body Competence, Body Inadequacy, and Internal Conflict, ranged from .64 - .82. Exploratory factor analysis of the ABISS provides initial psychometric support for a valid and reliable measure for assessing adolescent male body image, which also can be used as a needs assessment tool. Strength and conditioning professionals should be aware of their athlete and client psychological attributes, many of whom are adolescents. Understanding how adolescents view their bodies and their body image will assist professionals in designing appropriate, health-promotive strength programs, while at the same time monitoring for signs of body image dissatisfaction. Assessing body image can help heighten awareness and possibly encourage preventative programming to help avert negative health practices (e.g., performance-enhancing drug use, exercise addictions, disordered eating). The ABISS appears to have preliminary psychometric support to be a valid and reliable instrument that helps gauge at-risk populations.
