| Abstract (English): | Introduction: Thinness for women and muscularity for men has been established as the aesthetic ideal. The internalization of this body ideal could trigger dissatisfaction with body image and risk of developing eating behavior disorders affecting the physical and mental health of university students. The aim of the study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Sociocultural Attitudes to Appearance Questionnaire (SATAQ-4) in Mexican male and female university students. Materials and methods: An instrumental study was conducted. The SATAQ-4 was evaluated by experts for cultural and linguistic adaptation. It was piloted in a sample of 34 men and women with the same characteristics as the final sample, who did not report problems in understanding the content of the items. A total of 451 Mexican university students (41.7% male and 58.3% female), aged between 18 and 29 years (mean age = 20.82; SD = 1.98) participated. Results: The five-dimensional model was found to have an adequate fit in both men and women, with acceptable factorial parameters, although some items were progressively eliminated because they presented factorial complexity. After analyzing measurement invariance, a 19-item version was obtained for men and an 18-item version for women with adequate magnitude loadings on their theoretical factor. Adequate reliability indicators were obtained (>0.75). Conclusions: The SATAQ-4 maintained the five-dimensional factor structure, with an adequate version for men and another version for women.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: se ha establecido como ideal estético la delgadez para las mujeres y la musculatura para los hombres. La interiorización de este ideal corporal es capaz de desencadenar insatisfacción con la imagen corporal y riesgo de desarrollar trastornos del comportamiento alimentario en estudiantes universitarios. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Actitudes Socioculturales sobre la Apariencia (SATAQ-4) en hombres y mujeres estudiantes universitarios mexicanos. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio de tipo instrumental. El SATAQ-4 fue evaluado por expertos para realizar la adaptación cultural y lingüística. Fue piloteado en una muestra de 34 hombres y mujeres con las mismas características de la muestra final, quienes no reportaron problemas para comprender el contenido de los ítems. Participaron 451 estudiantes universitarios mexicanos (41.7 % hombres y 58.3 % mujeres), con edades entre los 18 y los 29 años (Medad = 20.82; DE = 1.98). Resultados. Se encontró que el modelo de cinco dimensiones tiene un ajuste adecuado en hombres y mujeres, con parámetros factoriales aceptables, aunque algunos ítems se eliminaron progresivamente porque presentaron complejidad factorial. Después de analizar la invarianza de medición, se obtuvo una versión de 19 ítems para hombres y otra de 18 ítems para mujeres con cargas de magnitud adecuada en su factor teórico. Se obtuvieron indicadores de confiabilidad adecuados (>0.75). Conclusiones: el SATAQ-4 mantuvo la estructura factorial de cinco dimensiones, con una versión adecuada para hombres y otra versión para mujeres. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Portuguese): | Introdução: Atualmente, a magreza para as mulheres e a musculatura para os homens são estabelecidas como ideais estéticos. A interiorização desse ideal corporal pode desencadear a insatisfação com a imagem corporal e o risco de desenvolver distúrbios alimentares que afetam a saúde física e mental dos estudantes universitários. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as propriedades psicométricas do Sociocultural Attitudes to Appearance Questionnaire (SATAQ-4) em estudantes universitários mexicanos do sexo masculino e feminino. Materiais e métodos: trata-se de um estudo instrumental, em que o SATAQ-4 foi avaliado por peritos para a adaptação cultural e linguística. Foi testado em uma amostra de 34 homens e mulheres com as mesmas características que a amostra final, que não relataram problemas na compreensão do conteúdo dos itens. Participaram 451 estudantes universitários mexicanos (41.7 % homens e 58.3 % mulheres), com idades compreendidas entre 18 e 29 anos (mediana = 20.82; DP = 1.98). Resultados: O modelo de cinco dimensões teve um ajuste adequado tanto para homens como para mulheres, com parâmetros fatoriais aceitáveis, embora alguns itens tenham sido eliminados devido à complexidade fatorial. Após a análise de invariância de medida, obteve-se uma versão de 19 itens para os homens e uma versão de 18 itens para as mulheres com cargas fatoriais adequadas. Foram obtidos indicadores de confiabilidade adequados (> 0,75). Conclusões: O SATAQ-4 manteve a estrutura fatorial de cinco dimensões, com uma versão adequada para os homens e outra para as mulheres.
