Methods Participants consisted of 810 heterosexual Portuguese individuals in a committed relationship. As a confirmatory factor analysis did not support the original structure of the BAAS, an exploratory factor analysis was performed.  Results A 12-item version was extracted comprising two dimensions: one personal and the other social. The factorial model depicting this bidimensional structure revealed an adequate fit following confirmatory factor analysis. Multigroup confirmatory factor analyses indicated invariance across gender. Concurrent and discriminant validities and internal consistency were estimated and observed to be adequate.  Conclusions This shorter measure of the BAAS can accurately assess body appearance beliefs and may be used in different research settings and contexts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/2237-6089-2017-0045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,12]],"date-time":"2018-05-12T19:20:31Z","timestamp":1526152831000},"page":"126-135","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Validation and invariance across gender of the Beliefs About Appearance Scale (BAAS) in a community sample of heterosexual adults in a committed relationship"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Patr\u00edcia M.","family":"Pascoal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Lisboa,  Portugal; Universidade do Porto,  Portugal; Universidade Lus\u00f3fona de Humanidades e Tecnologias,  Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria-Jo\u00e3o","family":"Alvarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Lisboa,  Portugal"}]},{"given":"Magda Sofia","family":"Roberto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Lisboa,  Portugal"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Body image: A handbook of theory, research, and clinical practice","first-page":"163","volume-title":"Beyond traits: Assessing body image states","author":"Cash T","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Cognitive therapy: Basics and beyond","author":"Beck AT","year":"1995"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1080\/10640269508249156","article-title":"The Body Attitude Test for patients with an eating disorder: Psychometric characteristics of a new questionnaire","volume":"3","author":"Probst M","year":"1995","journal-title":"Eat Disord J Treat Prev"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1081","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.72.6.1081","article-title":"How has body image changed? a cross-sectional investigation of college women and men from 1983 to 2001","volume":"72","author":"Cash T","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Consult Clin Psychol"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.1016\/j.appet.2013.04.002","article-title":"Social appearance anxiety, perfectionism, and fear of negative evaluation.
