Assessment of shape- and weight-based self-esteem in adolescents
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The Adolescent version of the Shape and Weight-Based Self-Esteem (SAWBS-A) Inventory provides a contextual measure of the importance of shape and weight to overall feelings of self-worth. The psychometric properties of the adult SAWBS Inventory have been previously established. The present research examined the psychometric properties of this measure in adolescent females, and compared structural aspects of self-concept in symptomatic and nonsymptomatic individuals. METHOD: A school sample of 197 adolescents completed the SAWBS-A Inventory and measures to assess concurrent and discriminant validity. A subsample completed the SAWBS-A Inventory a second time, 1 week later. RESULTS: SAWBS-A scores were stable over 1 week and correlated with measures of eating disorder symptomatology. The scores also discriminated between adolescents reporting few or no disturbed eating symptoms and possible/probable cases. Comparison of self-esteem profiles in these two groups revealed that in addition to body, the groups differed in the extent to which facial appearance contributed to feelings of self-worth. CONCLUSIONS: The SAWBS-A Inventory may be useful in examining structural dimensions of self-esteem in adolescents.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
