Abstract:
Objective:To revise the Social Fat Perception Scale(SI-FAT)and test its validity and reliability in female college students.Methods:A total of 564 female college students(sample 1)were recruited for explora-tory factor analysis.In addition,557 female college students(sample 2)were recruited to conduct confirmatory fac-tor analysis,validity of correlation and convergence validity of targets,and internal consistency reliability testing.Fifty-nine female college students(sample 3)were recruited for retesting 1 week apart The Social Physical Anxiety Scale(SPA)and Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale(BFNES)were used as benchmarking tools.Results:The Chinese version of SI-FAT had a 4-factor(parent,peer,partner,media)structure,a total of 16 i-tems,the cumulative amount of explanatory variance was 76.64％,and the item load was between 0.65-0.94,and the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit was good(x2/df=4.48,CFI=0.94,TLI=0.92,SRMR=0.06,RMSEA=0.08).The SI-FAT scores were positively correlated with the scores of SPA and BFNES(ICC=0.40,0.43,P＜0.001).The Cronbach α coefficients of the SI-FAT scale and its 4 factors were 0.83-0.94,and the retest reliabilities(ICC)were 0.61-0.68.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the Social Fat Perception Scale has a good validity and reliability in assessing the perception of social fat in female college students.
