ABSTRACT: The study developed the Body Image Testing System (BITS) in which subject adjust the size of nine body parts (face, neck, shoulders, arms, chest, breasts, stomach, hips, and thighs) and provide satisfaction ratings for the body parts. Body image and eating disturbance measures were obtained from 402 female undergraduate students and 87 obese women. Five factors measured actual-ideal discrepancy for weight-sensitive body parts, the perceptual distortion of those body parts, and the perception of face and neck, shoulders, and breasts. Results indicated that the five-factor scores plus the satisfaction ratings were strongly associated with actual body size, body fat percentage, and circumference of specific body fats.
