| Popis | The Self-Objectification Beliefs and Behaviors Scale (SOBBS) was adapted to the Czech context using multiple independent translations and subsequent cognitive interviews. A pilot analysis of a secondary dataset (N = 959) indicated a suboptimal fit for the original structure (?2(76) = 569.253, CFI = .903, RMSEA = .083, SRMR = .065) and a lack of scalar invariance. Using a newly-collected sample of 548 adults (72% women; aged from 18 to 75 with M = 25.8, and SD = 10.1), the original model also showed unsatisfactory fit (?2(76) = 292.76, CFI = .930, RMSEA = .072, SRMR = .054), but a modified 13-item model (excluding Item 2) satisfied Dynamic Fit Index criteria (?2(64) = 210.40, CFI = .948, RMSEA = .065, SRMR = .053). These results support the modified 13-item SOBBS’ two-factor structure (i.e., body self-monitoring and body as a representation of the Self), high internal consistency (? = .87, ?t = .90 for the total scale; ? = .87, ?t = .87 for body self-monitoring; and ? = .83, ?t = .83 for body as a representation of the Self), evidence for concurrent validity, and scalar measurement invariance (i.e., equal factor loadings and intercepts), allowing for gender-based comparisons. Women reported higher overall self-objectification (d = 0.22) and body self-monitoring (d = 0.48) than men, with no significant differences in the body-as-self-representation dimension. Consistent with Messick’s framework, the results support the validity of interpreting scores from the modified 13-item Czech SOBBS for research purposes, and we explicitly recommend utilizing this version in future studies. While promising for identifying maladaptive body-monitoring, further evidence is required to validate interpretations for clinical use. |
