The 25-item Body Parts Satisfaction Scale for Men (BPSS-M; McFarland & Petrie, 2012) is a commonly used measure of male body satisfaction, which focuses on the degree a male-identified adolescent or adult is satisfied with their appearance, particularly with respect to leanness (or low body fat) and muscularity. The BPSS measures male body satisfaction across three factors: upper body, legs, and face. The BPSS-M can be administered online or in-person to male identifying adolescents and adults and is free to use. This chapter first discusses the development of the BPSS-M and then provides evidence of its psychometrics. More specifically, the BPSS-M’s 3-factor structure is upheld within exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, concurrent validity, and incremental validity support the use of the BPSS-M. Next, this chapter provides the BPSS-M 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.

The 24-item Male Body Attitudes Scale (MBAS; Tylka et al., 2005) assesses body (muscularity, body fat, height) dissatisfaction with male-identifying individuals, as these three forms of dissatisfaction have been identified as important to men within qualitative research. The MBAS can be administered online or in-person to male-identifying adolescents and adults and is free to use in any setting. This chapter first discusses the development of the MBAS and then provides evidence of its psychometrics. More specifically, the MBAS has been shown to have a 3-factor structure in exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, with muscularity dissatisfaction, body fat dissatisfaction, and height dissatisfaction being the three factors. Internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and incremental validity support the use of the MBAS. Next, this chapter provides the MBAS items in their entirety, instructions for administering it to participants, item response scale, and scoring procedure.

The 8-item Drive for Muscularity Attitudes Questionnaire (DMAQ; Morrison et al., 2004) assesses men’s desire to achieve a muscular physique, which is characterized by broad shoulders, a well-developed chest and arms, and a narrow waist. The DMAQ can be administered online or in-person to adolescents and adults who identify as male and is free to use. This chapter first discusses the development of the DMAQ and then provides evidence of its psychometrics. More specifically, the DMAQ has a unidimensional factor structure within exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and convergent validity support the use of the DMAQ. Next, this chapter provides the DMAQ items in their entirety, instructions for administration and scoring, and the item response scale. Links to available translations are included.
