The current study used Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to investigate the factor structure of an Italian version of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3; Thompson, van den Berg, Roehrig, Guarda, & Heinberg, 2004) with a sample of adolescent females. EFA, using principal axis factoring and oblimin rotation, indicated a four-factor structure (Information, Pressures, Internalization-General, Internalization-Athlete) of the Italian version of the test. The SATAQ-3 seems useful to measure different aspects of societal influences on body image even in Italian contexts. Future studies could subject SATAQ-3 to a CFA in order to confirm the adequate fit of the model according to conventional criteria.

Abstract
The current study used Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to investigate the factor structure of an Italian version of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3; Thompson, van den Berg, Roehrig, Guarda, & Heinberg, 2004) with a sample of adolescent females. EFA, using principal axis factoring and oblimin rotation, indicated a four-factor structure (Information, Pressures, Internalization-General, Internalization-Athlete) of the Italian version of the test. The SATAQ-3 seems useful to measure different aspects of societal influences on body image even in Italian contexts. Future studies could subject SATAQ-3 to a CFA in order to confirm the adequate fit of the model according to conventional criteria.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
