Objective : To translate and adapt the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale into Korean and validate the Ko- rean version of the social appearance anxiety scale, which measures the fear and anxiety about being nega- tively evaluated by others based on one’s overall appearance, including body shape.
Methods : For item translation and adaptation, six bilingual translators participated in the process of for- ward-adaptation and back-adaptation. Data were collected from undergraduate students. The sample size is 105 for Study 1 and 212 for Study 2. Classical item discrimination and difficulty analyses, exploratory fac- tor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability analysis were performed.
Results : A unidimensional structure was found with a high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=0.95) and a high test-retest reliability (r=0.918). In addition, the concurrent validity was examined by correlations of the scale and several other scales measuring constructs related to social appearance anxiety.
Conclusion : K-SAAS appears to be a reliable and valid scale for screening and assessing social appear- ance anxiety.
