The Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS; Alleva et al., 2017) is a widely used instrument for the measurement of individual’s appreciation of their body for what it can do and is capable of doing (i.e., functionality appreciation). Here, we examined the psychometric properties of a novel Italian translation of the FAS. A sample of 950 Italian adults completed the FAS, as well as previously validated measures of body image (body appreciation, body esteem, body surveillance), disordered eating symptoms, and psychological well-being (self-esteem, general distress). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a 1-dimensional model of FAS scores, with all 7 items retained. Scores achieved scalar invariance across gender, and the gender difference in latent FAS scores was not significant. FAS scores were found to have adequate internal consistency, test-retest reliability up to three weeks, and convergent and criterion-related validity through significant correlations with all additional constructs. However, evidence of incremental validity was weak, and likely reflected high nomological and conceptual similarity between functionality and body appreciation in this national context. Overall, these results provide strong evidence that scores on the Italian FAS are psychometrically valid, which may aid future development of interventions to promote more positive body image in Italian-speaking samples.

功能欣賞量表 (FAS) 意大利語翻譯的心理測量特性

功能欣賞量表 (FAS; Alleva et al., 2017) 是一種廣泛使用的工具，用于衡量個人對其身體可以做什么和能夠做什么（即功能欣賞）。在這里，我們研究了 FAS 的意大利語新譯本的心理測量特性。一個由 950 名意大利成年人組成的樣本完成了 FAS，以及之前經(jīng)過驗證的身體形象測量（身體欣賞、身體自尊、身體監(jiān)視）、飲食失調(diào)癥狀和心理健康（自尊、一般痛苦）。探索性和驗證性因素分析支持 FAS 分?jǐn)?shù)的一維模型，保留所有 7 個項目。分?jǐn)?shù)實現(xiàn)了跨性別的標(biāo)量不變性，潛在 FAS 分?jǐn)?shù)的性別差異不顯著。通過與所有其他結(jié)構(gòu)的顯著相關(guān)性，發(fā)現(xiàn) FAS 分?jǐn)?shù)具有足夠的內(nèi)部一致性、長達(dá)三周的重測信度以及收斂和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)相關(guān)的有效性。然而，增量有效性的證據(jù)很弱，并且可能反映了在這個國家背景下功能和身體欣賞之間的高度規(guī)則和概念相似性。總體而言，這些結(jié)果提供了強有力的證據(jù)，表明意大利 FAS 的分?jǐn)?shù)在心理測量學(xué)上是有效的，這可能有助于未來發(fā)展干預(yù)措施，以促進(jìn)意大利語樣本中更積極的身體形象。
