Assessment of Social Influence on the Aesthetic Body Model Test - Symptoms and Signs
This instrument is used to evaluate perceived social influences on body-related aesthetic ideals. The Assessment of Social Influence on the Aesthetic Body Model is a brief self-report measure designed to identify the relative impact of key social sources (e.g., family, peers, and media) on an individual’s body image standards.
It includes 25 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Results can help guide clinical formulation by clarifying the external pressures most associated with appearance-related beliefs and concerns, and may be used in assessment, prevention, or treatment planning with adolescents and young adults.
The Assessment of Social Influence on the Aesthetic Body Model was developed by J. Toro and colleagues.
