The 12-item Body Parts Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BPSS-R; Petrie et al., 2002) is a straightforward and commonly used measure of female body satisfaction, which focuses on the degree a female-identified adolescent or adult is satisfied with their bodies as assessed through common body parts (e.g., stomach, hips, overall face). The BPSS-R provides three measures of body satisfaction: body (7 items), face (4 items), and overall body size/shape (1 item). The BPSS-R can be administered online or in-person to female identifying adolescents and adults and is free to use. This chapter first discusses the development of the BPSS-R and then provides evidence of its psychometrics. More specifically, the BPSS-R’s 2-factor structure (i.e., body satisfaction, face satisfaction) is upheld within exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Internal consistency reliability, convergent validity, concurrent validity, and incremental validity support the use of the BPSS-R. Next, this chapter provides the BPSS-R items in their entirety, instructions for administration and scoring, and the item response scale. Logistics of use, such as permissions, copyright, and contact information, are available for readers.
