Subjective Appearance Concern Scale Test
This measure assesses the degree to which concerns about physical appearance are salient and influential in a person’s self-evaluation and day-to-day functioning. The Subjective Appearance Concern Scale is designed to capture perceived importance of appearance relative to other life domains and values.
The questionnaire includes 38 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Items query subjective satisfaction with appearance and the extent to which appearance-related standards and perceptions affect self-worth and perceived well-being. The Subjective Appearance Concern Scale (Cash & Sarwer) may be used in clinical or counseling contexts to support assessment of appearance-related preoccupation and its potential impact on interpersonal, occupational, and emotional functioning.
