Introduction: The Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire (version 4) measures 5 factors, which are the social pressure towards appearance from the family, the media and peers; as well as the internalization of the thin ideal and the athletic/muscular ideal. There is currently no Chilean version of the instrument available.
Objectives: to evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument in a sample of Chilean adolescents and adults of both sexes, analyzing its internal consistency, as well as its construct and criterion validity.
Material and Methods: by means of a non-probabilistic method and using a non-experimental, cross-sectional design, a sample of 602 participants between the ages of 15 and 29 was accessed, who were administered the Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire-4 and a sociodemographic questionnaire. A confirmatory factorial analysis was carried out, the validity of criteria was analyzed, from the comparison of means of internalization of the ideal of thinness and internalization of the athletic/muscular ideal according to sex using Student's t test; and the internal consistency of the factors was evaluated with Cronbach's Alpha.
Results: the 5 factor model was achieved. In addition, women presented greater internalization of thinness, family social pressure and pressure from the media; while men scored higher in internalization of the athletic/muscular ideal. The instrument yielded adequate values of Cronbach's Alpha.
Conclusions: the Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire (version 4) presents adequate psychometric properties for its use in Chile.
