  • Summary

    The 5-item SNS Body Talk Scale (Wang, Wang, et al., 2020) is used to assess how often individuals talk about expectations for their bodies and for appearance enhancements with their friends on SNS. It can be administered online or in-person to adolescents and young adults and is free to use in any setting. This chapter first discusses the development of the SNS Body Talk Scale and then provides evidence of its psychometrics. More specifically, it has been found to have a single-factor structure within confirmatory factor analyses and is fully invariant across gender and age groups. Internal consistency reliability supports the use of the SNS Body Talk Scale. Next, this chapter provides the SNS Body Talk Scale items in their entirety, instructions for administering the scale to participants, the item response scale, and the scoring procedure. Logistics of use, such as permissions, copyright, and contact information, are provided for readers.
