Our new validation study of the short-form version of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (SBAS-2SF) has been published. Body appreciation fluctuates throughout the day based on our mood and daily experiences. This short-scale allows researchers to reliably track these momentary shifts in daily life without being overwhelming to participants. Our findings suggest that the scale is sensitive enough to capture the daily dynamics of body appreciation.
