Özet:

 

Background/aim: Body esteem  BE  is defined as the self-evaluation of one's own body or appearance. The Body Esteem Scale for  Adolescents and Adults  BESAA  consists of three subscales: BE-appearance, BE-weight, and BE-attribution. Though initially developed  for adolescents and adults, the use of the scale has recently increased in health-related research on children. This study aimed to assess  the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the BESAA for children.  Materials and methods: The participants in the study were 4th grade children  aged 9-10 years  in Ankara, Turkey. The validity of the  scale was evaluated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were assessed  using Cronbach's alpha and Spearman's rho correlation coefficient, respectively.  Results: The Turkish version of the BESAA for children includes BE-weight, BE-appearance, and BE-attribution subscales. The scale  demonstrated good model fit statistics  chi-square/df = 3.41, P < 0.001  and good internal consistency for BE-weight  α = 0.85 , BEappearance  α = 0.76 , and BE-attribution  α = 0.69 . According to our findings, test-retest reliability of the three subscales was in the  moderate/acceptable range for children  r = 0.57-0.68, P < 0.01 .  Conclusion: The Turkish version of the BESAA can be used to measure BE in terms of appearance, weight, and attribution in children.
