Aim and Background: Satisfaction with body image is an important component in human beings. This study mainly aims to investigate the validation and exploring the preliminary psychometric properties of the satisfaction with body image among students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran. The other purpose of this study is to compare this component between males and females students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad.
Methods and Materials: The research method was descriptive in survey method. The research population (19000 students) was all the students studying in Fedowsi University of Mashhad which in the 2011-2012 academic years in which 362 ones were selected through cluster sampling method at random as the research sample. The Second research population were individuals with good body and bad body who referred to the nutrition center and the body building club (50 subjects each group). To collect data, demographic information and satisfaction with body image questionnaires were used. To analyze data, mean and standard deviation statistics were used in descriptive level, and Pearson’s correlation test, independent sample t-test,
and exploratory factor analysis were used in inferential level.
Findings: The results of independent t-test showed that the scale has credible discriminate validity (t= 27.35, df= 98, P< 0.001). Likewise, the results of the Pearson’s correlation test indicated that the scale has good reliability (r= 0.75, P < 0.001). Also, the Counbach’s alpha coefficient display reliability of the scale (α= 0.91). On the other hand, the factorial analysis authorized one component in this scale. Finally, there is no significant difference between males and females in body image scores (t= 0.99, df= 359, P= 0.325).
Conclusions: Considering the findings obtained, it could be concluded that the body image scale has an acceptable reliability and validity among Iranian students.
