<p>This study aims to: (1) examine the factorial structure of the Body Image Control in Photos – Revised (BICP-R) in Argentinean adults, (2) assess its measurement invariance across gender and age groups, and (3) explore individual differences by gender and age. The sample comprised 585 adults, social media users, aged 18 to 67 years old. Findings replicated the original five-factor structure in adults but one item has to be excluded for inadequate loading. The scale demonstrated good internal consistency across all subscales (α ≥ 0.78). BICP-R proved to have strong invariance across gender and age groups (18–39 and 40+). Women and younger adults scored higher than men and older adults in the scale. Age differences were strong for the five subscales but small for gender.

摘要

This study aims to: (1) examine the factorial structure of the Body Image Control in Photos – Revised (BICP-R) in Argentinean adults, (2) assess its measurement invariance across gender and age groups, and (3) explore individual differences by gender and age. The sample comprised 585 adults, social media users, aged 18 to 67 years old. Findings replicated the original five-factor structure in adults but one item has to be excluded for inadequate loading. The scale demonstrated good internal consistency across all subscales (α ≥ 0.78). BICP-R proved to have strong invariance across gender and age groups (18–39 and 40+). Women and younger adults scored higher than men and older adults in the scale. Age differences were strong for the five subscales but small for gender. The Selfie, Positive and Negative body image subscales were higher in women. The results of this study provide a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the control that adults have in preparing, taking, selecting, and posting self-portraits on social media.
