Notes:
1. Add scores in blue, subtract scores in red. Highest score is 36, lowest score is 0.
Interpret it using the table above.
2. This questionnaire will help you address objective 2. Perception of the body image can
be judged in terms of a person’s satisfaction and/or dissatisfaction with his/her body
image.
3. For objective 3, item 1 (physical), you can use the score here to correlate with exposure
time in social media. Higher score in the Body Image Satisfaction Scale means a
positive image. Use Pearson’s correlation.
4. For objective 3, item 2 (psychological), use a different questionnaire. I suggest you use a
stablished psychological tool appropriate for your study from here:
