WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Attitude Towards One's Physical Appearance Test

Attitude Toward One's Physical Appearance Test

The measure is designed to assess how individuals evaluate and respond to their physical appearance. Attitude Toward One's Physical Appearance provides a brief self-report snapshot of appearance-related concerns and satisfaction, and the extent to which appearance is salient to one’s self-evaluation.

Developed by Thomas F. Cash and Marika Tiggemann, it consists of 12 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Responses can help characterize the intensity of appearance-related preoccupation, perceived satisfaction with one’s looks, and interest in changing or improving appearance.

In clinical and counseling contexts, Attitude Toward One's Physical Appearance may be used to support case formulation and to inform treatment planning when body image, self-esteem, or appearance-related stress are relevant presenting concerns.
