Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Social physique anxiety performance of middle school girls Test by Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS). The Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS) was employed to measure Social physique anxiety. The respondents are asked to rate 12 statements on a 5-point Likert type scale. The anchors are 'not at all' (1), 'slightly' (2), 'moderately' (3), 'very' (4), and 'extremely' (5). Examples of items are: 'I am comfortable with the appearance of my physique' and 'Unattractive features of my physique/figure make me nervous in certain social settings'. Previous research with SPAS has demonstrated test-retest reliability and internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha values of around 0.90. Post-test: 12 weeks end
