WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Objective Body Consciousness Scale, OBC Test

Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (OBC) Test - Symptoms and Signs

feminism
body image

This self-report measure assesses aspects of body-related self-awareness and the extent to which individuals internalize appearance-focused standards. The Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (OBC) is commonly used to characterize tendencies toward viewing the body from an observer’s perspective and evaluating it against perceived cultural expectations.

The instrument includes 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. It may be used in clinical or research settings to support assessment of body image-related concerns and to inform case formulation. The Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (OBC) is not a diagnostic tool and should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview and other validated measures.
