  • Summary

    The Curvy Ideal Silhouette Scale (CISS; Hunger et al., 2017) is a computer-generated figure rating scale utilized to assess the discrepancy between a woman’s perceived actual body versus ideal body across two dimensions: fat and curvaceousness. The CISS was developed to capture a broader spectrum of appearance ideals for young adult women, specifically related to research highlighting the potential to adhere to dual body ideals (thin, curvy) simultaneously. The CISS can be administered online or in-person to adolescent and adults who identify as women. This chapter first discusses the development of the CISS and then provides evidence of its psychometrics. Test-retest reliability, convergent validity, and incremental validity support the use of the CISS. Next, this chapter provides the CISS in its entirety, as well as instructions for administration and scoring. Logistics of use, such as permissions, copyright, and contact information, are available for readers.
